So people who liked having a small phone, but jumped to the 6+ size. How did it work out for you? Ended up adjusting and never looking back? Or jumping back down to the 6 or something smaller? I've used both at work for testing stuff, but the 6+ never feels comfortable for me. But I'm not using the 6+ as my actual phone, so I'm not being forced to adjust.

fourwood posted:Scheduled a reservation for Apple Store pickup on Friday night the 25th. I hope they hold it until I get back in town on Monday. Apple posted:Your reservation is valid for pickup only at the Apple Retail Store that you selected. If you do not pick up your selected item(s) by the designated date and time, your reservation will be cancelled and your item(s) will be returned to stock Might be in stock but it'll be because they had stock for walk-ups; doubt they'll hold your reserved phone for more than an hour or two after your appointment. Which is good for me since since I too forgot I was traveling that weekend so will be abandoning my hometown reservation for one in the city I'll actually be in. Or at least good for the walk-up who wants my specific model at my store after me.

I would seriously rather wait in line all night than spend the 20 minutes every day getting the cord to charge my hosed up phone for another week.

Somehow able to order a subsidized Sprint Space Gray 6s 64GB through Safari on my laptop. Have order number and is listed under my orders page, but no confirmation email yet despite my bank seeing an authentication request from Apple; any idea how long a confirmation email may take? This will by my first iPhone after 5+ years on Android, currently on a M7 and wanted to stay with a similar form factor in a premium phone and this was the only option. e: Is there a compelling reason to get the phone at an Apple Store rather than having it delivered directly to my house? Chose delivery, didn't occur to me to go into a store to deal with the masses. testtubebaby fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Sep 12, 2015 |

So AT&T still offers the subsidy for 2 year contract but only through them, not apples site.

As others have reported, I was not able to get the AT&T subsidy to take ordering from Apple so I ordered from AT&T directly. My 128GB 6S+ shows mid-October, which is a bummer, but maybe it'll get bumped up. I have no idea why Apple wouldn't allow me to use my full upgrade discount when ordering through them. My only options were full price contract-free and AT&T Next.

Huh, Next 18 is better that a 2-year if you're in a shared plan. Cool.

Chose delivery, didn't occur to me to go into a store to deal with the masses. If you want to use Apple's upgrade program. If you don't want the phone delivered to the billing address of the wireless account. If you want to trade in your old phone to Apple. If you are scared of unboxing technology alone and want/need an Apple Store employee to hold your hand during the process.

If you have reserved an iPhone and have a scheduled pickup time, why would you have to camp out? I've never gone to the store on launch day so idk what to expect. Also, going through Apple to buy an iPhone means I'm not using my upgrade nor have to change my plan with AT&T? I don't want to pay their monthly device access charge or get into a contract or lease a locked phone. I just can't give up my grandfathered unlimited data and 25%Fan

I just woke up randomly and reserved a 64 GB 6S without a problem. Looking at the official cases, I see Apple brought back the light brown from the 5S and dropped the olive brown that I currently have. May snag either that or the orange silicone. Or both. Who knows. And no, if you have a reservation, you don't have to camp out. You just show up st your appointed time and maybe have to wait a little bit, but you should be in and out in an hour at the absolute most. That's the entire point.

So it doesn't make any loving sense but I changed my password, relogged into every thing and remade my reservation and didn't even have to send a text to reserve my phone. And I can still get it friday morning. That was obtuse as gently caress but it seems changing your password does seem to help. Now to go to bed. Apple has some kinks with the upgrade program to work out.

GenericGirlName posted:To clarify, I meant too bad they won't let me do the payment plan/upgrade plan w/ circket wireless. I paid full price for an unlocked phone just fine. (I called apple earlier today (yesterday) and they told me I could not get a payment plan/upgrade plan iPhone that was unlocked and use it with Cricket Wireless.) See, this is the opposite of what I've heard and plan on doing. I'm on a prepaid plan (T-mobile nerd plan) and "reserved" a fully priced T-mobile phone. My understanding is I walk in, say, "I want your monthly payment plan" get a credit check, and and pop in my sim and I should be good to go. (I have a unlocked fully paid for 5S, so I know its the same sim). LionArcher fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Sep 12, 2015 |

The device charge is built into the plan whether you use the upgrade or not. If you see yourself on AT&T for the next 24 months you should accept the subsidy as you are paying for it anyways. 25% FAN? I thought I was getting over with my 23%

So about reservations: will I get my phone between the time listed or should I expect to wait hours for it? Don't wanna wait hours.

drat. Changed my password earlier but didn't try submitting a new preorder. Just did that and immediately got in for reservation on the 25th.. I put 8PM as it's a bit of a drive to the store.. Will the stores remain open later that day or no?

The only thing appealing to me with Apple's plan is being able to upgrade every year without switching to a NEXT plan, getting an unlocked phone, and not signing another contract with AT&T.

noirstronaut posted:So about reservations: will I get my phone between the time listed or should I expect to wait hours for it? Don't wanna wait hours. I too would expect about an hour absent major systems failures say 20-30 min waiting and 15-20 bringing out the phone and activating it. But guess what tends to happen on iPhone release day when Apple's activation servers get stressed harder than they have been before (or much much more likely, carrier activation systems)? If you're east coast you can make an appointment at the very beginning of the day when the other timezones aren't offering the phone yet so activation load isn't terrible, or anywhere later in the day when the huge group of "must have it now" nerds already have been and gone. But we're all up right now talking about this and preordering a phone in the middle of the night so I think we all know what camp we fall in.

Further, I didn't realize how much wireless plans had changed since I've had mine forever and been grandfathered in through every upgrade. Wireless providers are really giving customers the old unlubed in-and-out, aren't they?

I'm from Ireland and U.S. data plans are literally criminal. I pay the equivalent of around $30 a month for unlimited data/texts/same network calls and other networks are free on weekends.

iPhone 6s 64GB SG ordered,  £29/month for 20GB, £25/month for the phone. I can't believe Verizon are charging $80/mo for 12GB.

6S 128GB ordered, loving finally. They took away my $5 messaging and almost took away my subsidized price and grandfathered plan. gently caress AT&T forever imo except all other carriers are the same or worse.

Couldn't order since I have one payment on my AT&T Next plan left before eligible to upgrade. Oh well...not ready to give up my jailbreak anyhow. Guess I'll wait and see what happens on that front with the new phone.
