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 like the format I am seeing here so for me:


Ordered October 15th

Ordered from Apple Site with ATT carrier (been with them since 2007)

iphone 6Plus

26gig

Slate color

Expected delivery (from the confirmation email after I placed the order Nov 13th thru 20th


To date I only got an immediate email of confirmation but nothing else. I remember when I bought my iPhone 5s, and even the 4 before that I was sent an additional email only a day or so later showing "processing" but nothing so far. Have yet to see anyone with an iPhone 6plus (only the basic 6) and of course no one at Apple or ATT knows anything as to how the shipments are running...

I ordered my 6 plus 64gb on 9/27 and I got an email right away with the estimated dates..of course way in November (11/6-11/17) then I get an email about a week ago saying "thank you for your purchase, we are still expecting your phone to ship on the dates listed below) and they were still the same..when I ordered from AT&T the guy said "it will only take 3-4 weeks, you'll have it before november"...😐

Which carrier I have: AT&T

What date and time I ordered: October 16th (approx. 2 pm PST)

Where I ordered from: Apple Online

Which iPhone (6 or 6+): 6+

How many GB and what color: 16GB Silver

Delivers: November 12-19

Received order confirmation October 16th and status is "Processing Items".


I am anxious to see which phone shows up first and if either phone will be shipped earlier. I am not hopeful because people who preordered still have not received their phones. Patience is not my strong suit, but I genuinely hope that people who ordered before me get their phones sooner. Then maybe my phones wont be too far behind. Good luck everyone!

Order from: Sprint in store

On: September 19 ~ 12PM

No set ship date. (In processing since 2 weeks ago) Today is the 4 week mark with no change. :-(

Provider: Sprint

Phones ordered Space Grey Iphone 6+ 64G and Gold Iphone 6+ 64G

Waited all night, was first in line (first time ever doing this and did for fun) and was told they didn't get a singe iPhone 6+in stock! What a waste of time!

What can one do. The most frustrating part of all is because I ordered in store, I don't even have access to look up my order. I have to either go to the store or wait for them to email me back. It's a little ridiculous. Apple really dropped the ball on this release. I mean, really, NO iPhone 6+ at a Sprint corporate store on release day! One poor girl drove 10 hours and waited all night with us because she had to get a phone from a corporate store. :-( She had to be at college that next Monday. Felt horrible for her.

Hi All...


Which carrier I have: AT&T

What date and time I ordered: Sept 18

Where I ordered from: AT&T

Which iPhone (6 or 6+): 6+

How many GB and what color: 128 GB Space Gray

Estimated "ship" dates: November 12-21

Received order confirmation October 3rd and "Preparing to ship" status change same day. No changes since day 1.

UPDATE: I'd posted of my troubles with this order a few days ago, when an over-zealous (and obviously over-stressed) AT&T employee took it upon herself to unceremoniously CANCEL my order after I chatted online to inquire on my order status. (I expressed dismay at AT&T's lack of customer service due to their inability to keep customers abreast of what was going on with their orders. That "preparing to ship" usually means that the product ordered is actually in hand. Orders like this need to read, "Awaiting product from manufacturer for shipment." Apparently, the young lady took offense to my comments and cancelled my order immediately after I logged off...)


AT&T's "customer service" said they couldn't reinstate the order and to re-order my phone. For troubles, here's a $200. credit to your account. I took the credit, placed an order via Apple's website and the delivery date listed as Nov. 7th (AHEAD of my original AT&T order.)


Using the various web-site notifiers I received an email stating the unit I was looking for was IN STOCK at my local Apple store. I quickly placed a new order and reserved one for pick-up. It's now sitting on my desk syncing with my Mac. Apparently, there was some good karma directed towards me after my bad experience.


Check local inventories everyone - there was mass delivery to several Apple locations today - GOOD LUCK!

Hey all,


I received an email from Apple this morning.


Originally ordered AT&T iPhone 6 Plus 64GB in Space Gray on October 2nd around 9pm HST, with an estimated ship date of Oct. 29 - Nov. 5.


Per email from Apple, my new ship date is between Oct. 23 - Oct. 30.


I hope this is an indication of movement for everyone's phones. Stay positive friends!

I'm hoping that my phone status will change to "preparing to ship" tomorrow. There was another user who ordered their phone on the 24th and their status changed on 10-15. I'm so hoping being 3 days behind that--- my status will change too. He/she I believed ordered from Apple too. However by the looks of it, everything seems to be so freaking random. One can only dream right? Good news is... At&t was nice enough to remove my upgrade charge so I'm really happy about that. I can get another case now!! 🙂

Oct 17, 2014 6:23 PM in response to Grendel831

I just called. I've done it before and I saw something where people were saying they were doing it too. I told them (att) that I noticed on my bill that there was a 40$ upgrade charge given to me. I asked if it could be waived as a courtesy. I expressed my disappointment for not even having the phone and after a two minute hold it was waived because I'm a "valued customer." Try it, and good luck.
