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!

eptowns, well, that's three days after I ordered so would have hoped you got it three days after me, which would have been this past Monday. Now you have the 128 where I only have the 64, but defiantmacho had a 128 SG and his shipped in 15 days. I'm surprised Apple is actually telling you what day it will ship by. They usually don't seem to be able to narrow it down that closely. They usually just verify the 3-4 week date. So if they are saying the end of this week, I think I'd believe it and I'm still thinking you will get it in 2 days with the Express Saver, but I don't know how it works on weekends. My son's actually took 4 days when going over a weekend and his was Express Saver also. So shipping say on Friday might not get to Florida until 8th or 9th. Keep us posted. 🙂

kitkat,


Firtst time I called apple it was around the week of the Thanksgiving and the customer service told me my order status would change at anytime, and I should expect an email soon with my tracking #. Since nothing changed I called another two times that's when I was told (both times) my order would ship by the end of this week. Following the orders date and shipping dates here, I thought I would receive my phone around Dec. 1 or 2. Hopefully I will have by next week. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks. 🙂

I ordered 9/29 from sprint. same phone. still have the same status as you. They better ship before Christmas. This is ridiculous. Can't believe orders through apple direct are shipping so much faster than carrier orders. I saw the shipping timeframe on Apples store changed to 7-10 days now. 7-10 days if I order today? Really Apple. People who ordered 2 months ago or more are still waiting. ***. I can't believe I'm two months plus into this and I still don't have any idea when it will ship. Lost a lot of confidence and faith in Apple over this whole launch and shipping delay bs. I'm about to just cancel and go buy an Android.

I ordered from Apple on November 10 an AT&T 128 gb gold and I was given 3-4 weeks to ship, receiving it between Dec. 8-15. I called Apple because some people that had ordered around the same time as I did already received their phone, and I also questioned the website saying 7-10 days and I was told the phones are being shipped from the US now, and mine is coming from Asia. Not really happy about it. I had a 4s and bought a Note 3 last year just because of the screen size. Now that they came up with the six plus I want to go back to the iPhone, so everything I have on my iPad I can acceas from my phone, but had some serious thoughts about canceling my order as well, and keep my current phone. I don't really want to go through this stress everytime apple release a new phone. Before ordering online I went to 4 Apple and 6 Best Buy and couldn't buy a phone even though the website was showing available. I'm really hoping I will receive it by Monday or Tuesday next week, but my order still saying "processing items", seriously this status is getting in my nerves. 😕

I ordered on 10/20 through AT&T (corporate account) and found out today that my delivery window was pushed to between 12/12 - 12/19.


Twice I had called in the past to get confirmation that it would ship between 11/28 - 12/09 (original window) and I was told that it was *guaranteed* to ship because that was my shipping window (we're talking about some circular logic here).


AT&T customer support is essentially useless. After calling them and providing a litany of information so they can confirm my identify they basically just read back to me what is already on the AT&T order status page. I call with the hope that they might be able to give me advanced notice of a potential backorder situation. Instead, they replied with "your phone is in high demand and therefore limited supply" and refer me to the shipping window. I just want them to be honest with me! If they cannot ship the phone within 4 weeks, they need to officially label the order as "back-ordered" and remove any reference to a shipping window. That way, I can cancel the order like a sane person and explore other options.


Hi. AT&T? It's you, not me.

My problem began on and off since the beginning. I do not know if you remember me posting about having sync issues and how I couldn't get music on my phone at first. From there on it went down hill. I spoke tonight with a senior Rep from Apple and told me that they have received cases like mine already; with screen issues where the device would go crazy, like mine is doing. I have a video screen capture I made that shows it very clearly.

My iPhone 6+ 128GB order didn't go well. Ordered on the 9th of October for a delivery between the 18-28 of November. Around the 10th I get a text it's been extended to 12-28 of December. So I cancelled the order. Tried to get info from both Apple and AT&T on why and only got the standard "read from my script" answer over the phone and diverted answers in person. Finally ended up in BestBuy and was told Apple was having problems with the 128GB memory on both phones. Ended up with a 64GB iPhone 6+. But I think I'll take it back since I wanted the 128 version. I don't like being marketed for a sale. I'm at a point where I don't really need the phone and if Apple and AT&T can't be truthful to customers (i know that's asking a lot) their loss of a customer since iPhone 3G

Hey Kat,

I am going to be selling my IPhone 4s 32gb soon on eBay. I removed the SIM card, and I called Verizon about unlocking the phone. The Verizon rep. said if the phone starts with Hello, Hola etc. then when it wants you to pick a language, the phone is unlocked. Is that correct? I am going to sell the phone with some accessories too, so I can get a little more money. Do you have any other suggestions for me before I go to sell the phone on eBay? Let me know before Monday. Thanks again for your help!😉🙂

Fay: No, that's not how it is with AT&T phones. That Hello screen comes up as soon as you restore the phone, whether it is unlocked or not. So that came up for me before I even looked into unlocking it. When I contacted AT&T, they had me put in a request on their website and then they emailed me that it could be unlocked. I think they check that it really is your phone, etc. Then I had to wait 24 hours before restoring it again for them to do whatever they do in the system. I had to put my SIM card back in for this restore. I did that last night and it told me at the end that it was now unlocked and then I popped the SIM card out again to send it off to the buyer. I've sold 3 iphones on ebay and I usually make sure to put a subtitle that people will see as they are searching saying the condition (Excellent, Good, etc.), NO CONTRACT, AND IOS 8.1.1 READY. That way it stands out over A LOT of the others that are out there. Maybe you want to put WITH ACCESSORIES in there instead of some of the other stuff so they know it comes with stuff. Definitely take pictures of what you're sending with it. Hope this helps.




😉🙂

Kat,

Did you have to pay a fee to unlock your phones? I clicked on the link you gave me, which was very helpful thanks, and it had a number for Verizon to call to unlock my phone however, they couldn't or just wouldn't help. They suggested that I google IPhone 4s unlock code, and I did find a youtube tutorial on how to unlock 4s and they even tell you the website: Cellunlocker.net . However, I noticed that you have to pay a fee. The fee that showed up on the tutorial for that person was $119.00. I will get back with you. Let me see how much they want to charge me.
