Thats also the date Verizon gave me. I couldn't wait, so I checked the Apple Store everyday at 8AM sharp on my iPhone for availabilty to the closest Apple Store near me. On October 2nd at 8:01AM I ordered my Verizon 128gb Space Gray 6s Plus and picked it up at 1:00PM the same day....The rest is HISTORY. I suggest checking the Apple Store for availabilty on a daily basis at 8:00AM sharp (they go fast) for the closest Apple Store near you. Another iMore member made me aware of this, and it WORKS, I received my new iPhone a week after Launch Day.
My status on my Edge agreement shows the new full payment.amount owed. My status that I posted earlier changed to say "your order is currently being processed please check back later".
