Can you buy a Verizon brand iPhone 6 Plus full retail on Apple site?

I know you can reserve for pickup on the Apple site with a 2 year contract. But I was wondering if you're able to reserve one for pickup when you want to buy it without a contract. Does anyone know? I have Verizon

I looked and didn't see that option. Only full price I noticed was for t-mobile I would call.

I lied...and I actually just chatted with someone at Apple...they said the only way to get a Verizon model unsubsidized is to go to the retail store itself to pick it up, and that it cannot be ordered online.

Ugh okay thank you. I had a 6+ available this morning at 6AM and it only gave me the option to use an upgrade with a 2 year contract. And by the time I was out of work it wasn't available any more

Nope...I was able to buy my AT&T 6 Plus online unsubsidized. It gave me the choice of having it shipped to me or picking it up locally...I just chose shipping.

Interesting didn't get that option. Only gives me the option of a two year. If I could I'd have my phone and not have to wait on att

I ordered mine full price online & picked it up in store but maybe it worked because it was a pre order.

Maybe this happened because he didn't have an upgrade available?

Had two upgrades available on my account (one for me and one for my wife) since we haven't bought a subsidized iPhone in years. It gave me a choice between upgrading my account with a 2 year contract or another option for full retail. I simply chose the full retail price.

And it was for AT&T correct? It might just be a verizon thing

Speaking from experience.....Apple does not sell the SIM free Carrier unlocked phones until right around black Friday. However I suppose if you paid full price for a carrier locked phone with the new legislation you could call ATT, TMO and they will unlock it for you. But all of the phones that are sold until then are carrier locked.

Incorrect....Verizon iPhones are unlocked & so are T-mo models

Yep, I was in the exact same boat when I tried to pre-order on Apple. I ended up preordering directly through Verizon. Luckily it all worked out and my 6+ was still delivered on launch day. But it's nice to know that I could walk into an Apple Store and pay full price if I needed to do so.
