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!

Ordered a 64gb space grey 6+ on Oct. 2nd from Sprint's website. Currently only have email confirmation that the order has been received. Shows a shipping time of 4-6 weeks. Has anyone else ordered through Sprint and received your phone? What was your total timeline from order to door? I read on another thread that Sprint seems to be getting them out quicker?

hey, i ordered my phone on October 5th (iPhone 6 Plus 64gb, Silver for Sprint) and my estimated delivery is on November 4-11. From what i understand, it has to do with size, color, and carrier. Therefore, the general 3-4 weeks shipping is overestimated and its only based on all of the colors, carriers, and sizes out together. So if you ordered an AT&T iPhone (which is one of the most popular choices) you'll probably be waiting about 3 weeks. If you ordered a Sprint iPhone (one of the least favorite), you probably be waiting a little less. Apple is also expediting orders to help meet the demand. If your still on the "processing" stage like I am, most likely your phone doesnt even exist. Its being made thus your waiting for it to come into stock. Once that happens, you'll go to "preparing shipment" and within 24 hours your device will be shipped. so its a little wait, but after the "processing" things should move out pretty fast.

64GB Gold 6+ from Sprint, ordered 9/22, still processing. I've come across some articles saying Foxconn is churning out 160,000 6+'s and 400,000 6's A DAY, but still can't keep up with demand! My wait time is 4 -6 weeks, but I am in my 3rd week - hopeful - that I get a shipping notice soon. I feel your pain and anguish.


On a side note, thought I might try my luck at BestBuy.com, maybe get one thru Sprint and a quicker shipping time - all models of the 6+ are not available for shipping and you cannot even add one to your cart.

I ordered a 64gb silver plus from an AT&T store October 3rd and my estimated ship window is 11/12/14-11/21/14. Like many people my order status changed to preparing to ship on the first day, but has remained like that since. It's going to be a long wait for the people who ordered in October, especially since they haven't even fulfilled all of the pre-orders yet!

Ordered Oct. 2 w/ an expected delivery of OCT 29 - NOV 5. Still in processing.


I'm guessing it has to do with your location, color and size configuration, and supply chain / logistics. When I ordered my iPhone 5 (around this time when it first came out 2 years ago) I got my phone faster than people who had preordered. There's still hope for us! But I also feel bad for the people who preordered and still have to wait till November.

Ordered 6+ 128G on Oct. 2 from att.com, like Mrs. Artero, mine stated preparing to ship on first day, est. delivery 11/11/14 - 11/30/14. When my 5 came out, there were a lot of preorders but I just went to the store on release day and had my phone the same day it came out and some preorders would not arrive until the next day...

It's a bit of a wait but, I'm hopeful that they are over extending the arrival date. I did go to the store once they actually had one on display and to my suprise, Att does not accept cash for phone orders... Att Employees are just placing the order exactly like you would on your computer at home. Save a trip and get it online...

Well remember, not many people opt for the 16gb version. however ATT is very popular. So, its great that yours shipped out so soon. The wait isnt so bad for me, ive learned to deal with it. If you expect your phone to arrive on the estimated delivery, you will be happy if it arrives before then, if you expect it to arrive earlier, and it doesnt... You will be dissapointed. Just keep that in mind.

I ordered a Gold 6 Plus (16GB) on October 9th from AT&T's Premier website. I'm now in the processing phase. The expected delivery is 11/19/2014 - 12/01/2014. I'm probably the world's biggest idiot - I went to my local Best Buy about a week ago and the same exact phone was in stock. It's now out, unfortunately. To be fair, I was still debating between the 6 and 6 Plus at the time. It will be 3 years with the 4S before the 6 Plus arrives, most likely. I guess that's one thing to be happy about.

I'm in the same boat. I've never waited this long for an iPhone and I've literally had every gen except for the 5c I opted for 5s. I made my order on September 27th. Like many of you my iPhone 6+ 64gb in space grey is "processing." My ship date is Oct 28th through Nov 4th. I'm disgusted. My card hasn't even been charged. Usually it pends and will eventually drop off but not this time. I was never charged at all. Not even a make sure the funds are available charge.

I'm very frustrated!

I ordered my 6 plus (128GB Space Gray) on 9/18, it listed as "preparing to ship" almost immediately. I've been checking in frequently - but no one at AT&T will give me any information other than the Nov. 9 - 27 projected ship date. I mentioned to them each time I chat on their site that they shouldn't list something as "preparing to ship" if they don't even have the product. "Awaiting product for shipment" would be more apt.


I hope someone at Apple who botched forecasting projected demand loses their job for being incorrect. Also, don't have product on-hand in other countries for roll-outs when there are existing millions of phones back-ordered. Just saying... 😠
