Has anybody that ordered their iPhone 6 Plus through Verizon actually gotten their phone yet? or even got a shipping confirmation email and tracking number? i pre ordered my 6 Plus 64gb Space grey on 9/17 and have a ship date of 10/31, my status on verizon still says order is in process.
Unfortunately I agree with you! Apparently the problem is primarily with the iPhone6+ and those with the 64G and 128G memory. Apple marketeers underestimated the popularity of the 6+ and thought that the size would encourage the IPhone 6 to be the phone of choice. Obviously they stock their own shelves first but it appears that orders placed directly with Apple and those with carriers have about the same delivery dates. If you are fortunate enough to have an Apple store nearby and they have your phone in stock you can cancel your order and buy it at the store but of course most shipments seem to be scheduled 10/29 or before with some falling into 11/4 or before.
I am no worse off than before....they haven't debited my credit card for payment and won't do so until they ship my unit but I have to continue to use my phone that I have successfully been using for the past two years. I feel for those who did not have cell phone service and signed up for service and bought the iPhone6. I guess the carrier will not charge them for service until they activate the phone once it is received.
Check best buy They have plus in stock here in chico ca but i cant do my edge upgrade there unless i had never done it with verizon. all the stores are out of stock.
Mine was delivered 2 days early! Enjoying my 64gb silver!!
Here's an article on the sudden widespread availability on the iphone 6+. Guess that's why none of us can get ours.

My estimated ship date was 11/21, but it actually shipped on 11/7. My total wait time was 10 days. 🙂
Awesome! My FedEx update took two week days to update itself, so hopefully yours is in transit even if you can't see it yet! I should have mine tomorrow. Hopefully it's been worth our wait!
My iPhone 6 plus arrived yesterday and it is fantastic! thanks to Verizon for getting it all sorted out.
I don't think the 64g has issues - it's just more popular than the 128. When I ordered the 64g through Verizon it was showing a later delivery date than the 128. Personally I don't think I need the extra 64g and wasn't willing to pay the $100 premium. I suspect many others felt that same way. So it's in more demand, and the 128g version has a little more availability and hence comes sooner.
My purchase through Verizon was through work, so I had to wait until 9/22 to order (the company needed to 'approve' the devices for work use) - so my ship date isn't until 11/7. Hoping that moves up.
I suspect Apple makes more money selling the phones direct, than through the carrier who I'm sure gets a cut of the price. While I don't like it (since I have to get mine through verizon), you can't really blame them for trying to make more money.
That is their responsibility to their shareholders after all.
I Ordered my iPhone 6 Plus Space Grey 64 GB on 9/19 and have a ship date of 11/07! I will never do this again. Waiting 7 weeks for an iPhone is lame. Folks in China tonight are getting their new iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6's but how awesome we are still waiting, still waiting like everyone who preordered! This is lame! If I do not receive my iPhone soon I will just cancel my order and stick with my iPhone 5. I'm not going to play these games. Apple is smart enough to know what the customer wants before they know it, they should know how to properly forecast a launch supply chain. That's what I did if I worked there. Oh well I guess I just have to deal with it for now.
Per my normal routine this morning I checked my Discover Card to see if my account had been debited for my iPhone6+, Gold, 64GB, etc. and it had not meaning no shipment. As of last night I was scheduled no later than 10/29. Went to the T-Mobile site and entered my order number and zip code and instead of telling me it would be shipped no later than 10/29 there was a notification that my information was not available and to check back tomorrow...my words. Hopefully, this means I am getting a favorable change in status. If I were a pessimist I could take it as pushing the delivery out further. Has anyone else had this experience.
I ordered mine 10/06/14 and my order is still saying "being processed" UGH and its being "delivered before 11/14/14" I'm getting annoyed....so annoyed I'm about to just get the Note 4. I switched from sprint to Verizon and I'm using the iPhone5 and I'm about to flip from the sh*tty battery. I ordered the 6+ in gray 16gb. If the phone is sold out this fast when the 7comes out I'm not even going to bother with apple. They're smart enough to make a working phone, but not smart enough to predict the amount of products they need? No. Its just a gimmick. They do it every year.
Still checking everyday and mine has not budged. I don't understand why these folks that ordered after us that preordered are getting early shipments? I thought preorder held our line in some sort of que? I guess this is a lie. I learned my lesson this time and will never try this again. I will wait in line cause this has been total BS! I cannot believe waiting 2 months for a phone is acceptable. Especially when they have already taken my money and I signed a contract. Doesn't the law state once goods or services are paid for you should have them in hand? Shame on Apple and shame on Verizon lastly shame on me!
Are you sure they've already taken your money ? Verizon for me at least has my credit card, but won't charge until it's shipped.
Honestly - I don't know why people are getting so upset. When we bought the phone - we could see what the estimated ship date was. Sure - would we like it sooner - absolutely. But it's not like we were told we were getting it the next day, and then later told it was going to be 6 weeks. So nothing has changed.
You have a choice - cancel your order and get something else. But that immediate gratification may end up with feelings of regret when you see what you could have had by just being a little more patient. But that's your choice. I just don't understand why people are complaining when we weren't mislead.
For those who are receiving them earlier - what model of the plus, and what was your original estimated ship date ? thanks
I'm pretty much at the point now where I honestly don't care when the phone gets here. The excitement wore off about 3 weeks ago. I've been waiting since I ordered this thing 9/18...so what's another couple of weeks? I'm kind of over it...when it gets here I'll set it up, get a case for it and go on about my business. Not even excited for it anymore.😟
I feel ya :/ My excitement is just gone and now just really annoyed and don't care when it gets here. I might actually just get the Note 4 now..i mean the battery life is a lot better lol. A phone isn't worth waiting for 2 months. Im so tired of using an old iPhone 5. (New with verizon) Im done with apple.
Have you also noticed that if you buy a phone right now it says "shipment by 11/14/14" ? because i bought mine 10/06/14 and thats what it said. It seems weird something is going on that apple and verizon aren't telling us, like; getting a large shipment on the 10th or something. idk #NeverAgain
