So I decided to switch over to TMO from Sprint with my sister. They are going to take care of all the fees (eventually lol) so that is nice. We both want the 6+ but I am afraid that it is going to be really difficult to get for a while

 

[stay lurkin]

Like, there is no way that I am going to walk in there and get a 64 GB 6+ next friday

Now I'm confused how the pre order will work if I'm trading the phone in. Do I have to pay full price now then when I pick up my phone they refund?

Good thing you got Jump!, huh?  Makes it so simple to just swap phones.  

 

[oh you mad]

Can I pre-order tomorrow @ verizon store?

 

[wanksta23]

Can I pre-order tomorrow @ verizon store?

I was told that if you don't pre-order the phone within 3 or so hours your phone will be backordered
thats just what the rep told me

This is true. Once then pre order slots fill up the rest will be back ordered and can take weeks to get in.

 

[grimeyy]

Good luck to everyone preordering tonight. Hopefully we can all secure a phone

Seeing bots being sold for pre-order sites all over my twitter timeline

[carver]

Yup.. Good luck Fellas

Better off finding out when your local cell provider opens so you can set an alarm and go wait in line

Yes, glad thing I have Jump. @ paying close to a stack for a cell

I'm going to pre-order the 6 plus tonight, is there any difference/advantage of going through ATT site versus Apple? I know Apple gives you chance to pick up at store 9/19.

All the time leading up to the announcement I was saying I was going to get the 64GB 4.7 inch model. After the announcement though, I'm really leaning towards the 64GB 5.5. Better battery life is the real reason, but the reviews are saying that it is still decent for one handed use and doesn't feel like you are holding an iPad (I have decently large hands) so it's a go. I wish Sprint would give me $200 for my parent's 4S' like Verizon is doing so we could all upgrade together. Hopefully I can flip my 32GB 5 for 250+.

Sprint is offering $200 for the 4s

Sprint must be desperate to offer $200 freakin dollars for a 4S.

what are they offering for the 5 and 5S?

 

[nike4kja05]

Is it true Verizon is only doing the trade in deal for those who need to upgrade? That's what my friend's brother's friend said because he works at Verizon. I want to trade in my 32g 5s for the 6.

 

[zdawgz]

If you preorder and have it shipped from Apple, would they be able to deliver it by the 19th?

 

[blazersin2k3]

i'm pretty much forced to do at&t next because i just found out at&t will increase my bill $25/month if i go the 2 year contract route. i've been conditioned by the carriers to buy a phone and keep it for 2 years, been doin it with iphone's since the 3g and now i guess i gotta do this next. i really didn't mind the 2 year contracts since i haven't switched in over 10 years.

i don't think he would know what the other carriers are doing since he doesn't work for them.

Sprint and tmobile are matching any trade in offers on the market

 

[dutchroyalt]

yes i asked them when i was going to do the buyback program

 

[iheartboost]

Can I just go on apple.com tonight and cop tonight or something? I'm sleeping on this but trying to cop. Posting from my iPhone 3 right now I know I got a upgrade or whatever from ATT cuz I bought this in 2009 or something.

They might as well just offer the 6 for $0 down and the 6Plus for $99 with what they're doing...
