I've been reading multiple reports of messed up orders and bills on r/tmobile. They really dropped the ball. I would probably wait it out and just accept that we're not getting launch day deliveries and ask for bill credits once this all settles down.

To top it off my cell number is on some sort of blacklist. Customer service hangs up on my number. But I can actually get in queue with my wife's phone or with a landline.
I tweeted their Tforce and will be starting some shit for sure. I just want to preorder a couple phones damnit!

Why does Best Buy charge $50 more than Apple for the 6S+? I have a 6+ currently and I was thinking of getting a 6S+. I hadn't sold myself completely on the 6S+ to stay up until 3am to preorder. My local Best Buy has the 64gb 6S+ I'd want available for preorder with store pick up, but I'm really turned off by the extra $50 they are charging.
64gb Space Grey 6S, coming from 64gb Silver 6+. Battery life is a major trade-off though. Hopefully won't regret it...
Gold 6S. I actually don't mind the 6S+ size, and it looks great, but $800 for the 6S was all I was willing to spend lmao.
I'm happy with the size of my 5 and the 6S is even bigger, so meh.
128GB 6S in Gold. Coming from a 128GB 6 in Space Grey.
Space Gray 64gb 6S+
Should be interesting upgrading to that size. I wanted the better camera, since I use my phone camera a ton (especially for work). I also kind of liked the idea of a better screen for reading e-books, since I started reading a lot of e-books on my phone.
As of now, though, I do kind of feel like the Samsung Galaxy S6 has the perfect screen size. My fiancé just got that and I'm kind of envious. I'll probably get used to the 6S+ though.
Don't worry, it will come. Mine took 7 hours to come through. I know you've waited longer but it'll come.

Gold 6+ 64 to space gray 64 6s+ First black phone I have owned in a while
Pretty much everyone gets used to the size. I got a note 3 two years ago and I now swear by the phablet size. The 400 ppi screen on the plus variations are an absolute treat too.

I had a Silver 6+ and am downgrading size to a Space Gray 6s. Through ATT I am eligible to upgrade for $299 only and still keep all my monthly charges the same, so after selling my current phone it'll be like a free upgrade so why not. It's 64GB as opposed to my current 16GB. The 6+ size didn't bother me, but after a year I felt the need to downsize, I feel like it'll be more comfortable. Gonna miss the battery though and it sucks the 6s didn't get a resolution bump to 1080p too. I'm really hoping this has 2GB RAM as some have said. I can't stand how bad multitasking and multi-tab browsing is on my 6+.

6S
The Plus is not a one handed device from what I've played around with. The extra screen space is nice, but the form factor of the 6 and its ability to be used with one hand pushed me over the edge.
Originally I wanted the larger Plus size, but I'm glad I went with the 6S instead. I only regret not having the optical image stablilization and wish the resolution were a bit higher.
But this is still a decent upgrade from my 5S in terms of screen size and features. I think the size of the 6S is about perfect.
MIne doesnt show up either
EDIT: Just called Apple they told me, as long as i have email confirmation, my phone is reserved, even though i dont have any order number or confirmation id in the email

Silver 6S 64GB. Coming from a Silver 5S. Didn't want a bigger phone, but no choice...maybe with the 7 gen they'll bring back a smaller phone.
Might've gone with the rose gold, but the hue seemed a bit too pink.

Apple leather cases are nice. Good luck with the switch

You can view them across all Apple products but only the iPhone 6S/iPhone 6S+ can take live photos at the moment.
The 6S/6S+ can take them. But will other iOS 9 devices or Apple Products also see them as Live Photos or just as a single photo?
EDIT: it looks like other Apple devices will see them as Live Photos. Nice.

can anyone comment on the silicone cases from apple? i had a leather one for my 5s and it was ok, but it def showed signs of wear as time went on. does the silicone case hold up? feel good in the hand?

A real noob question here, if I gave an impression of the state of my credit here would someone be able to determine if I should worry about getting approved for the Apple Upgrade Plan?

The problem with live photos isn't in displaying them. It's having an ISP that can handle the burst of data from the sensor. The sheer number of full sized frames and data its stuffing down the pipe is astounding. Keep in mind the EOS-1D, a $5300 camera, tops out at 14fps albeit with an 19mpx sensor. The Nikon cameras are still limited to 5fps in burst mode. The ISPs just absolutely struggle to keep up.
A raw 12mpx in RAW8 comes in about 12 megs. 1.5 seconds before and after is 46 frames at 15fps, 91 frames at 30fps. So at 15fps you need half a gig of memory to store the RAW images little alone demosaicing them and losslessly compressing them. If it's capturing at 30fps you need a gig of memory to handle just the memory requirements. Then you have to dump it off to storage while you're doing this, the iPhone 6/6+ NAND can sustained write about 80MB/sec which is a fucking astounding figure in the mobile industry (the 2014 Moto X for example was 31MB/sec). Assuming you pull 2:1 compression ratios from lossless you're still dealing with 3 full seconds of writing to NAND for a 15fps live photo and 6 seconds of writing for a 30fps live photo. So Apple might have beefed up the NAND controller to make writing faster. They're definitely moving away from TLC NAND so we might see some storage speed improvements on that front too.
But yeah, this shit is like the digital equivalent of trying to spray a firehose into a bunch of small buckets in rapid succession. It kind of pisses me off that people say stuff like "APPLE TRYING TO INNOVATE GIFS" when it's obvious that this is stupidly complex on the backend to anyone with a clue.

Well shit. Almost got it sorted out.
Got T-Mobile to do the 64gb upgrade without the $99 fee. But now the e-sign agreement is messed up again.
This is getting out of hand!

T-Mo put a 1.00 charge on my Amex so I guess I should get my email confirmation soon? Hopefully.
First time hearing about this.. maybe a bad batch? Bought 2 Apple silicon cases last year on 6/6+ release day and they don't smell.
Preordered a 64gig rose gold 6s for my wife this morning through Verizon. She's just off contract so we're on the payment plans. Might as well. Interest free is interest free. Just trying to find a case that she likes now. No real interest in upgrading yearly. The only reason she wants a new phone is she used up the 16gigs on her 5c
edit: Free delivery on 9/25. Works for us.

Check it carefully. They have been screwing up these e-sign documents all day.
If you sign a wrong document you are pretty much SOL.
What time did you order, nothing here yet. I ordered about 1am PT.
$35 for such a simplistic item... I know it's normal for anything Apple but still hard to swallow sometimes.
I def need some kind of case for my 6S+, I never use screen protectors though. Never scratched a phone screen ever, not even in the earlier iPhones
No worries. The added screen size is pretty spectacular. But honestly, I downgraded from a 6+ to a 6 after having one for about a month. Again, admiring pictures on a screen that size was great, but the regular 6 is way more comfortable to wield- just better one-handed ease. They both have their tradeoffs.
As for me, I purchased the Space Gray 64GB 6S. I mainly upgraded for the added space since I've maxed out my current 16GB 6.
