iPhone 6 Plus October Orders!

Hey folks,


Just wanted to start a thread for iPhone 6 Plus October orders.


I placed my order for an AT&T version, 64 GB Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus on October 2, 2014 from the Apple Online Store. My order status is still "processing." I did however, receive a text from AT&T confirming my upgrade to a new 2 year contract. Is this a sign that my order is moving ahead? My supposed ship date is between Oct. 29 - Nov. 5. How are everyone else's orders for October going?


Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on the fence about canceling at the moment. I ordered a 16GB Gold Plus on October 10th from AT&T, with 11/19 to 12/1 as the expected ship date. I'm trying to be as patient as I can, but it's hard. I already received a case and screen protector from Amazon, and that has made the waiting more difficult. Then there are all those pre-orders that are unfulfilled. This has been the perfect storm for delays and long waits. There are only a few things giving me hope at this point. From what I've read (forums mainly), AT&T usually overestimates. Some have received their phones a few days before the delivery window - others, a week or more prior. The earliest I saw were a couple of 6 Pluses delivered this week after the orders were made around October 1st-2nd. I believe they were 128GB models so maybe that helped. Also, Apple should ramp up production this month. If I don't see anything by the first week of November, I'm calling it in. My 4S works fine, at least. I'd imagine this is much different from your past experience. The only other iPhone I've had is the 3GS on a 2-year. I've been monitoring the inventory at the local Apple and AT&T stores, just in case.

From what I'm reading all of you that pre-ordered on the date and still do not have your phone should definitely be complaining somewhere else besides the Apple website because Apple will not care because no one else really will see this as opposed to social media like Twitter where the public will hold them accountable, I ordered my phone next day after pre order, each color 64gb + and we all got tham a week later... I unfortunately didn't like my Gold and returned it but for all of you those that are still waiting for your preorder should be extremely ****** IMO

Hi everyone- being an iPhone nut- had bought one each year since 2007 - in fact, still grandfathered in on the unlimited data/text for only 30 bucks a month- so no way I'd give up that plan for AT&T's new rental/lease arrangement. I always buy the new one yearly and sell the previous model on Craigslist- almost for what the newest one sells for as so many people want an iPhone so they can export it, etc., Anyways- for the first time- I think waiting for the iPhone 6plus 16gig on ATT to arrive might take a LONG time. In fact I have not even seen on out in the wild- seen several iPhone 6 but no one but the displays in the stores seems to have a true iPhone 6 plus- Curious if anyone has actually touched one belonging to anyone- and if they liked it - am hoping the iPhone 6plus will eliminate my needing an iPad mini, etc. So I placed the order online through Apple/with ATT as the service provider - early upgrade last night- the immediate confirmation email said it is set to ship a MONTH from now- even the iPhone 5s only took about 10 days- can't imagine this iPhone 6 Plus will take a month- but maybe it will....

Maybe this will show how terrible AT&T and Apple is when preordering. I was one of the people that was in the AT&T store on the 12th of september. Yeah that's right, the preorder date. It has been 5 weeks, 35 regular days, 25 business days and I still haven't gotten a shipping confirmation. My "expected shipping date" is 10/31/14-11/11/14. Each day, I get a little more and more worried. Because withe each passing day, the 10/31/14 date looks more like an end goal. I am worried because on the 5th of November, I will leave to go to vegas and won't be back until the 10th. I am worried that my phone will get stolen from me while i'm gone.

UPS has a program called UPS My Choice. It gives you the freedon to pick up your shipments so you never miss them or get anything stolen. Chances are if you haven't pre-signed for the item on Apple.com they won't deliver your device anyway. I'm sure FedEx will have something similar as well. If I were you I'd get that setup and in place before I went on my trip.

I talked to AT&T the other day and they said that they usually ship with FedEx...usually being the key word. They said that any apple products must be signed for. They have a 3 chance policy, if you don't get it signed on the third one, the package will go back to AT&T Headquarters. Lovely. So I talked to my office complex, I live in an apartment complex. They said that once I get a shipping confirmation, just let them know and they will keep an eye out for it. I'm really hoping I get it soon.


Question does anyone know the email of Foxconn? I know it's a stretch, but I was wondering if they had an email I could use. I know that they make the 6 pluses.

I also ordered a iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold on AT&T on October 1st, and the order details says that it is available to ship in 3 to 4 weeks, but so far I haven't received confirmation that is is preparing to ship. It still says "processing items." My estimated delivery date is October 30th - November 6th. I have already purchased a glass screen protector for it, and the case I ordered for it will arrive on October 21st, and it would be great to have the phone by then, but after reading all of the comments, this doesn't seem too likely.

Wow, that is horrible. I hope something changes for you soon. I would definitely see if UPS can hold it for you if it doesn't come before your vacation or have a trusting friend get it to hold.
