Q: iPhone 6 iMovie and other apps not free

Just got my iPhone 6 128GB last week. After fiddling, noticed that iMovie and other apps weren't included, nor were they free in the app store as others have stated happened for them. Was this just on the Plus version or the 64GB or something? I purchased it at Best Buy outright without a contract extension with Verizon if that matters. When I find the iWork apps in the App Store, they still have the normal prices for purchase.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Yup. Logged in with approved Apple ID. Apps not installed already, which I thought they would be on a 128GB, and under the "Apps made by Apple" selection, they all have prices next to them to purchase. Not free or available for download as that picture shows.

Checked that site and I'm logged in and have a capable device. Apps are available for purchase only and not included with my iPhone 6, 128GB and are not available for download in the App Store without paying for them.

Are you on Wi-fI?
You can only download them on Wi-Fi connected to the Internet.
