My 6s has a scratch on the screen, wonder how this will work...

How quickly do online pre-orders usually sell out? Is it within seconds or can I comfortably get my pre-order in? How was it for the iPhone 6 and 6s? I'd hate to wake up at 3am just to miss out because my connection was slow or something.

10 minutes until back order isn't uncommon.

The adapter will have a DAC because Lightning is purely a high speed serial bus. The phone still has a DAC because it needs to play audio through the speakers.

I believe all they check for is water damage and a cracked screen.
You've lost me, huh?
hmmm so the audio quality should be comparable to a 6S native 3.5mm port with same headphones?
Unless they changed up the DAC on the phone.

How long can backorders take to ship?

It depends. Apple uses custom Cirrus Logic gear on the iPhone. We won't know how good the gear is until the teardowns of the unit and the adapter cable.

Usually the first back order is about a month out if I remember correctly.

Why wouldn't it?
If your Beats have a 3.5mm jack, yes of course.
The time though

Last year had the same trade in deal, but it could have been any smartphone. They're smarter this go around.

So to get on the apple upgrade program for T-Mobile I have to go in the apple store? Does this mean I will automatically miss the initial shipment?

It's usually 3:01 AM eastern.
I wonder what the chances of them redesigning the 6 leather case is. This is the first I've heard of them and I think they look pretty nice.
How hard is it to push the buttons in? I'm genuinely thinking about getting one.
Don't listen to him. It's 3 and he's just trying to get a head start.

So my solution to upgrade me and the wife.
1. Get on Apples iPhone forever program.
2. Pay remaining $200 to buy off our current 6s and 6s+ from T-Mobile Jump on Demand.
3. Sell the phones locally for around $500 each.
4. Have $600 to blow on whatever. Wife will probably get a watch.

So does the lightning port actually benefit sound quality at all compared to the traditional port?
I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere (just the same recycled comments).

They'll have in-store appointments available at the 12:01am/3:01am PST/EST frenzy for you to go in and they'll have stock reserved for you. They line you up, send you in 40 at a time, process your order and send you on your way.

So I would have to be at the store at 12:01am PST on the 9th?
Or do I just set the reservation online at midnight and go in store sometime later during the day?

yep...this is like a filler step to get people used to the idea but I imagine the feel will be identical.

Reservation online at midnight and go into the store on the 13th at your appointment time.
Normally they open before the mall so you drive around looking for Apple employees, park nearby, tell them your reservation and they'll put you in a line for your timeslot.

So you can charge it while you're using headphones? I like the idea of the airpods but they'll need to be charged...
To upgrade from a 6 Plus or switch to pre-paid and save up to $70 a month... That is the question.
I don't know if there are enough advancements to pull me in... I wanted the edge less screen.

Cool. Could I buy mine and my wife's phone or is it one per person?

They absolutely said that it was to make space for more battery, better camera system etc.
Sir Abacus

They have a limit but you should be able to get two in one session.

The online store is. It's always open.

Like a blackberry storm? Eww.
Highly doubt they'd redesign the existing case for the current phones.
On mine it takes quite a bit of pressure to press the power button, enough that it's noticeable in everyday use. It hasn't really improved with time either. The volume buttons work better I would say, but I don't use those too often. Basically it's a bit "mushy". I'm not surprised they tried to do something better this time.
