Waiting for iPhone 6/6+ pre-order pajama party!

[codehut]

Going to bed now for 3 hours and 45 minutes, then waking up 15 minutes before the Rogers system opens. Will try that first.

Then I'm heading to the airport at 5am to leave on a plane for Florida at 6:30am. If Rogers somehow doesn't workout for me, will try and get one at Lincoln Road Apple Store in South Beach. Fingers crossed.

Sleep is for the weak

Rene, quick question about the 6 Plus. Have you handled a Note 3 recently? Did it "feel" similar, smaller or larger?

I get charged full tax as well here in Florida.

According to the Verizon Rep I spoke with tonight, most states should collect tax on the unsubsidized rate. Having previously lived in SC, they are one of the handful to only charge on contract price (They also only charge $300 tax max on a new car).

Being in NH, we have no sales tax, so that is a savings for me.

Anyone else on Verizon switching to the Edge plan? I am here. Crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's and it is the way to go for me.

Wife is taking my 5 (with a freshly replaced battery) and we are giving her 4S to my daughter (first cell phone)

And was able to upgrade from our 6 GB plan to 10 GB for the same price (due to the fact that I have a 21% line discount, and the 5 and the 4S are (will be) off contract, and the month to month discount jumps from $10/line to $25/line.

You can print out a size chart and compare which size fits your needs. Obviously, it's nothing like holding it in your hand, but it might give some of your folks an idea of what to get.

My first time buying an iPhone outside of the one I got for my wife. 6+ 64 Tmo.

Anyone confirm that it will be available on Tmo site for upgrade at midnight PST?

I just spoke to a rep, you will be able to. Thats what I'm doing as well but they said it might be on backorder for 4-6 weeks.

Hey Rene, were there any informative leaks on the 6+? I don't recall seeing anything in terms of leaked hardware pieces (screens, sizes, etc). If there's not much leakwise out there, what do you think the supply will be like? Lower than in the past?

 

[taz323]

I preferred the size of the 4.7 but the features of the 5.5. Not an easy choice!

Hear this, but the 4.7 has caught my eye.

I still have ATT unlimited account grandfathered. Should I order from them or apple?

Won't matter, you won't be able to keep it unless you pay full retail price for the device

Just pull an all nighter. YOLO

I wish I knew how they new it might be on backorder for 4-6 weeks when the preorders haven't even started yet.

I just spoke to a rep, you will be able to. Thats what I'm doing as well but they said it might be on backorder for 4-6 weeks.

I'm ATT grandfathered and when I pre ordered my iPhone 5 two years ago I ordered from Apple using the Apple store app on my old iPhone 4 and everything went smooth, so ill be doing the same tonight..

Soo.. not sure if the crowd is interested in this, but if you are a Southwest Rapid Rewards member, you can earn 2300 points on your order if you upgrade through the Verizon website. You have to go through the Rapid Rewards Shopping site, click the button, then it shoots you over to Verizon.

You can do a two year in store and keep your unlimited data. Not sure if online you can?

 

[Aaron Starr]

To preorder through AT&T's website, log into your account, go to upgrade eligibility on the line you want to buy the iPhone on, and it will take you to a page with a countdown for the iPhone.

What link do you go to if you starting a new line with AT&T?

Rene, quick question about the 6 Plus. Have you handled a Note 3 recently? Did it "feel" similar, smaller or larger?

Felt smaller than a Note 3 because lighter, rounder.

Thanks. Sucks about the back order. I wonder if it can be picked up at Apple.com under the EIP...

 

[quinn_drummer]

I'm in the UK it's 6.07am and I've been awake all night on the off change they went up early again like they did last year.
As you can imagine I'm knackered but nothing is going to stop me ordering my 4.7" Silver 128GB iPhone 6 today!

I was able to order the iPhone 5 for AT&T unlimited data through Apple and didn't have any problems keeping my unlimited data plan.

Thanks! That's what I was hoping for. Never been a large phone guy, but the landscape apps and battery have me leaning that way!

Was originally going to go with gold again, but I the white bands bother me for some reason.
