iphone 6 plus pre-order delivery

Hi everyone!


I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 Plus (64GB Space Gray) on Sept 12th as early as I could (at 4:30 A.M. through the apple store app on my iPhone 5). I tried to order it earlier, but as many of us know the Apple store online was down. I was so very disappointed. During the checkout time, my estimated delivery was Oct 1 - Oct 6 and it would be available to ship in 7-10 business days. My email confirmation stated the same thing.


This is also my first time I have ever pre-ordered an iPhone. My current phone is in pretty bad shape. The menu button popped off a couple weeks ago (it's currently being held on with scotch tape...lmao) and my screen freezes up all the time. I'm lucky if I can answer phone calls. Its not reliable at all to say the least. I have been trying to hold out for the new iPhone 6.


I have been checking my order status relentlessly since I pre-ordered and of course, it still says "Processing Items", with the same estimated delivery date and shipping time. I'm am desperately hoping it arrives earlier than October 1st - October 6th?!


Do any of you know if I will ONLY be getting my phone during Oct 1 - Oct 6 or do I have a chance of getting it earlier?

Does anyone know where all they usually ship from?

Do they usually ship via Fedex or UPS?


Thank you so much in advance for your help!

If they don't start shipping phones faster Apple is start losing customers with the new Note coming out. Apple is producing 540,000 iPhone 6's and plus's a day so a person wouldn't think that it would take long to fill orders but AT&T is just going to take there sweet old time I guess, I don't know how the others carriers are doing but AT&T should be able to give better dates than the end of November which is when mine is supposedly going to ship. Come on Apple and AT&T get your stuff together. I only ordered a iPhone 6 Plus 64GB silver.....trying to wait happily.....

Might be the kinda wrong place to ask this question but,


How can I find out when there might be inventory in the stores. I need to make my purchase at a store and walk out with a phone in hand that day not a pre-order due to using credit from a trade in to partially pay for the new device. I would consider ordering and then do the trade in but i really do not have a need for $400 in Apple gift cards, nor having bill credit from ATT I would rather have the value of my old phones go towards the new ones. Anyone know where I can possibly check for press releases or something might come out from Apple to let us know when they will have stock in the stors?

Honestly, I wouldn't blame you for cancelling the order with them. I was very indecisive about ordering from them & actually ordered directly from Apple instead. The Apple Store still says ships in 3-4 weeks which is what it told me & when it's all said & done, ordering to having the phone in my hands would be less than 3 weeks.


I will say my BIL pre-ordered 30 mins to an hour before me & pre-ordered from AT&T & he is supposed to get his phone today via FedEx.

I ordered my wife and I a 6 plus from AT&T on the 12th around 3pm, they gave us a date of Nov 27th, I waited 2 days and canceled, reordered from Apple on the 14th and we're getting ours this Thurs. I said that to say I know you hate to start all over but if you ordered right now today from Apple I believe that you will still get them before the date AT&T gave you. Apple said it would ship in 3-4 weeks but it shipped in 2 weeks and if the same thing happens for you that puts your delivery date a little passed mid Oct.

Reading through the entire thread one thing is for sure: Apple is very disorganized on this. I pre-ordered on Sep 12 morning from Apple store, and have not seen any change in the status of my order since then. The first (and only) email I received after placing the order stated available to ship 3-4 weeks. I emailed Apple last week and not received a response to that. I don't feel like calling them just to be on hold through the wait and told the same thing. This is the 3rd week so even it magically becomes available to ship, it would arrive barely on schedule, hardly the "earlier than expected delivery" Apple claims.

I too pre-ordered from the ATT Store on Sept 12th at around 2pm EST. Ordered a phone for myself and my wife. (IPhone 6+ 64GB in Silver)

My date still says 11/9 - 11/27. Ridiculous that I have to wait until Thanksgiving for the phones.


Big mistake ordering with ATT. Shouldve ordered with Apple directly. I am almost 2.5 weeks into ordering and contemplating about cancelling

the ATT and starting a fresh, new order with Apple.


What do you guys think? Cancel or keep the ATT order?
