Depends where you live, I guess. In Canada 6/6+ stock was slammed heavily, you could often find *something* in stock but but with 3 colors x 3 storage sizes x 2 phone sizes, it likely wasn't what you wanted. 6-64 and 6+64 were easily the most popular models and at one point the 6-64 and 6-128 were just not possible to get.
16GB models were much easier to find but understandably who would want them...
How does it work? When you take a photo, it uploads it to icloud and deletes it from your phone? What are the proper settings for this?
I'm still new to iphones.

Can you set it that all photos only remain on iCloud and never sync to a local device?
You can pre-order on AT&T, but you can't sign up for Apple's plan through AT&T, of course.

The answer isn't a simple yes. They will always take up space on your phone. Just less space. Currently deleting an image from your phone deletes it from iCloud.
Photo optimization under iCloud settings will store the full size image on the cloud and keep an optimized version on the device. This optimized version is only when needed so your device will look full all the time but when you need more space it does its thing in the background.
If you want to remove the photo but keep it backed up in cloud storage a different cloud storage medium like Dropbox or Google photos is needed.

That's what I thought, not sure why the feature isn't there.
We need to keep requesting the feature.
Apple will get to it by the second iteration of iOS X.

Has T-mo came forth with any information about how JUMP people can use their upgrade to pre-order a 6S? I know that JOD people can call in and e-sign and get a pre-order in, but that page conveniently left out what us regular JUMP customers are able to do.
I'll nab a 64gb 6s+ tomorrow morning. 21% AT&T service discount through a former employer and $60 reimbursement\month for phone from current employer. I currently have a Lumia 920 as personal and iPhone 5 for work. Combining that into one phone that costs me 15 bucks a month after reimbursement with my grandfathered unlimited data is going to be so good.

Jump people can preorder over the phone or in store like anybody else. but every JoD person that orders before 9/14 will jump ahead of you in line.
Do JoD people call starting tomorrow? Tonight at 12:01? Now?
On Apple's site, although you can't technically pre-order or purchase one right now, you can still go through the pre-order process to an extent.
The option to pay full price is there.
You still have to select a carrier for that -- in the past that has meant you get the carrier locked phone.
Apple's Upgrade Program isn't listed at all.
The option will likely be there once that's added.

Everything starts at 00:01PST for everybody.
In the past I have chosen T-mo in order to get a carrier unlocked phone when paying full price. You may want to wait for confirmation.

So, for AT&T Next, if I have a 6, am I locked into a 6s? If I jump to a 6s+, I'll have to pay $100, right?
There are apparently two "versions" of the 6Ses as there were for the 6es.
One version is the CDMA-radio-less AT&T phone. The other is the CDMA-radio-inclusive Spring, T-Mobile, and Verizon version.

EDIT: weird. Usually it's ATT and T-Mobile on gsm and sprint Verizon on CDMA. Sucks that ATT has to be singled out now.

What do you mean? If you've paid for your iPhone 6 via AT&T NEXT and you're trading that in and upgrading then you can get whatever you want. None of the phones have down payments they just have larger monthly payments.
bodyofanamerican

Ah, got it. Thanks.
You're right, but this year T-Mobile grabbed the one that has both GSM and CDMA which is what squalor is talking about, most likely for that extended coverage plan. T-Mobile uses GSM, but if you get it unlocked you can use it basically everywhere since it has all the bands (excluding band 30 which is for att and ain't even out yet).

Yeah. Just read that. Weird how it switched up this round. So close to having a single model of it weren't for ATT.

You would think if they upped the RAM they would make that a selling point.

They never have.

They have never mentioned in the past when they upped RAM. It's a weird spec Apple has never cared to mention in phones.

Has anyone talked to T-Mobile about when preorders will start? I was told they would start at 9 AM EST through the customer support line, has anyone heard the same?
12:01 PST just like everyone else is what their FAQ says. So 03:01 EST.
If i preorder to pickup at a local apple store, may I pay in cash, or only credit card?
Also, may I cancel a preorder?

Does anyone know if Tmobile's Jump on demand is only in store or can I get it online?
silentspork

Do you have a link to the FAQ? I can't seem to find it.
UK site DOES accept PayPal. US site should too but I can't confirm.
Ray Wonder

Yeah, well that's dumb is what I'm saying. lol
It's a super normal spec that Apple is goofy about.
I'm guessing that they don't want to get into a dick waving contest with the Android boys. They can't be bothered to explain why iPhone's don't need as much RAM as other smartphones.
Ray Wonder
Founder of the Wounded Tagless Children
I could understand that. To people who don't know better, showing off that you have 2gbs ram is more of a negative when compared to the note 5's 4gb.

Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade via Apple with an AT&T Next plan, then call AT&T later to change my plan to Next + Down Payment option? I know Next + Down Payment is available directly from AT&T but really don't want to preorder through them. I want to do this to cut the monthly device cost in half by paying an initial down payment.
I've been trying to get a clear answer from AT&T via phone and web chat, but reps seem to be confused. I did have one chat representative tell me it's possible and that he made a note on my account to allow it, but I'm not sure I can trust that.

Why not just pre order from ATT and avoid the headache? Their site will likely be "less busy" then apple at launch anyway.

That's going towards the total cost of the device though, and doesn't affect the monthly payment.
The down payment option is an initial fee that goes towards the cost of the phone but also reduces your monthly payment. I plan on getting rid of the phone in 12 months, so I don't want to pay anything over the minimum required to trade in.
That's sort of my plan, but I don't trust them to deliver. Their site is terrible as it is. I think I'd rather order through Apple and sort this out later.
Probably won't know until there's a teardown, Apple doesn't typically publish that info.
I'm not sure about upgrading. I was thinking of maybe going from my 6 to a 6s+ but I don't feel the need to rush out and preorder right now. I might just wait and check it out in the store. See how that Apple financing plan turns out. Seems like a decent deal, like 6 bucks more than verizon for the 64gb 6s+ which allows for an upgrade next year and Apple care.
