Pro tip: Try using the Apple Store app in addition to a web browser when trying to pre order. In past years many people got their phone ordered faster via the App Store app as the main apple web store crashed at 12:01

Apple iPhone 6/Apple Watch Press Conference. Tuesday Sept 9th, 10am - Watch Live
I love Apple. Not very impressed with the 6...i actually ditched my Droid for the iphone 5 because i hated how big my old droid was(and how absolutely unreliable and buggy it was). I think the 5 has the perfect screen size. New ones are too big imo. Maybe next year there will be a version of the 6 that is smaller.
If you already have a tablet, whats the point of a giant phone? I guess Apple just failed to sell it to me this time around. Im happy with my 5S Last edited by Eldraque; 09-10-2014 at 10:41 AM.. |

While my friends couldn't get through on Apple's site around 1am, they were able to check out fast through AT&T's website. |

Also I saw the pre-order times on the Apple website a bit ago (it was indeed 12:01 PST) but now I can't find where I saw it.

Just to let you know, those are too small. The screen sizes don't meet the proper size. And the 5s is slightly smaller than a real 5s

Historically customers have been able to purchase the phones from Apple.com at the RETAIL price without contract. I've been surfing through their site and have only seen the RETAIL price for T-Mobile, no Verizon.
I'm assuming when pre-order goes live I will have the option to purchase at full retail for Verizon. Correct? (Our family has unlimited data and 4G hotspot, grandfathered in with no intention to purchase at the subsidized $199 as we don't want to forfeit)

There is some confusion on what time the pre-orders are going to start. Someone had a live chat from an Apple rep and was told 12am EST (9PM PDT).
Now Apple is saying they have not announced a time. I will update this once Apple confirms a time. Reports are being posted on this MacRumors thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1775521

In past years the only option that was not available at launch was the "carrier free" phone. Go to apple.com and "check upgrade availability" for your Verizon line. You should be able to buy a phone at that price.

But if there is a 12am EST launch, then I'll just RDP into a work laptop in our NY office and order that way. Worked a few other times I did it when other sites restricted ordering due to your local time |

The only thing that has me hesitant about getting an iPhone 6 and one for my wife is the damn AT&T NEXT program that I recently signed up for. Sure with our existing phones, I'm saving $40/month from my previous family plan with all the same benefits except now I have unlimited talk & text.
The only way I can get the iPhone 6 is either through their 12 or 18 month NEXT plans. And with the models that my wife and I want, that's going to be almost $90 added to each month's phone bill |

^ just be ready to hit submit as soon as the clock strikes midnight! So have all your info ready to go. Worked out perfectly for me 2 years ago.
I"m going to wait it out till end of this year to see if getting the 6+(size) is worth it. |

The last couple of times I pre-ordered an iPhone, they shipped it out to me and that was fine. However, this time I'll be out of town when they are shipped out (or delivered in this case).
Do you know if Apple or AT&T will let you pre-order but pick up the phone at a local store in a different area? Going to be in TX next week and would hate to have my iPhone delivered and sitting on my door step for a few days (including over the weekend) until I get back. But there's a big AT&T store right across the street from the hotel that I'll be staying at. BTW, I called AT&T and spoke to a couple of different CSR's and both couldn't give me an definitive answer since they didn't know for the new iPhone 6 that wasn't in their system yet. And by the time I do call tomorrow morning, I'd hate for them to be back ordered already |

They have not allowed in-store pickup for several years on launch day. Generally in store pickup becomes available a week later. I will opt for in store pickup if I can so I don't have to wait by the door for Fedex.

After the iphone 6 announcement I wasn't very impressed by any means. Ditched the iphone 5 for the LG G3 today. Don't think I'll be going back to apple anytime soon.

I put my AT&T preorder in three times each for four lines just to make sure. It was a breeze. Are you having difficulties?

Verizon was a pain to order last night. Took me over an hour to try and upgrade. The website kept crashing or kicking me out. Finally got the order in and it said ship date oct7. This morning igot the confirmation and it say sept 19th. Boy is Verizon's system a mess.

Try calling your carrier today. AT&T and Verizon and moving people up.

I got a 6+ just before midnight through AT&T, but wasn't able to order a 6 until this morning through the Apple Store app. Both show delivery on the 19th. Nice!
