Tuesday 9/3 evening People will post wtf apple, why is ups holding the phone till friday!

I meant the people who have October ship dates. It's not a big deal since this year my phone isn't on life support, but I still want my shiny new toy.

What's the loadout/delivery date and how did you pay for it? If it's jetblack/september you might be able to resell it for a little bit extra.

Otherwise yeah returning it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Delivery date is sept 16. It's the gold. I did the iPhone upgrade plan. I didn't know how strict Apple was about returns and have never done this financing/upgrade thing before so I was afraid I was going to be stuck with it.

Not what he meant (and I think you meant 13th, not 3rd.)

In the past, delayed (past release date) shipment estimates have sometimes been too conservative and they've come a week or more early...

I remember when I ordered my 5s from the iOS app it came much earlier than the expected delivery date. Once it starts shipping from China watch the movement and FAP FAP FAP FAP

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 3-4 weeks projected deliveries, which almost always end up getting delivered earlier than initially projected.

EDIT: Ordered a Jet Black 128 GB. Guess I'll get it when I get it.

Yeah not quite my thing. I really have no issue with waiting, the 6S+ is still a fantastic device. Much rather use my paid time off to enjoy some vacation. :)

These loving brand new wireless Beats they just showed off at the keynote don't charge over Lightning and use a USB cable instead? Seems real weird.

They want to sell them to everyone, not just Apple users.

(I realize it would ship with a Lightning cable, but everyone has micro-USB sitting around.)

I picked up a couple of these a few weeks ago and they've been great. Looks like they're sold out at the moment but keep an eye on them if you want to live that one-cable life (it's pretty dope).

The Solo 3 has the same body as the Solo 2. They'll add Lightning when they update the design and have to make new molds anyway.

iPhones are basically pre/live and post ironic dolls for men, whereas women use them for trolling Grindr and posting Instagram pictures of their tits.

They're $9. You can just l leave them attached to your favorite headphones.

$9 is pretty expensive for what is basically a tiny splitter and a couple of inches of wire and insulation.

It should be like a dollar.

Only needs that because Apple was stupid and didn't put a DAC in the spec for lightning so it could output analog.

And don't get me started on Apple auth chips.

Yeah the redesigned/new post Apple stuff (all two of them) have Lightning. Still annoying that they made a big deal about the updated headphones but kept micro USB on them. Hate that drat port.

Yeah, the bigger issue is when I want to use the 3.5mm plug rather than the Lightning plug. It would be nice to not have to worry about misplacing the dongle. It's not a huge deal, really.

Anyway, I emailed Cozy and they said to watch for the CourageCozy.

Where are you located?

I had a 16th date the whole time but my phone's latest tracking update is departing Anchorage last night at 12:43am. So over 36 hours ago now. I'm hoping it's just customs stuff since I'm in Canada, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not in by tomorrow either.

Seattle. And my wife's iPhone shows its last check in as departing Japan. 10:05 pm on the 15th (assuming that is local time since it hasn't happened yet.)

Can I be salty that even though I slammed home an order within the first 30 seconds of the store being up I still got a "Sept 36 - Oct 3" delivery date?
It still says "processing" on the order today, so I doubt I'll get a surprise 16th arrival. Grumble.

Mine'll be here on the 16th. Why are y'all so excited though? This one seems to be kind of a boring upgrade. I did mine just because I have the sprint iphone forever plan. Am I missing something other than it's a bit faster and the battery may not suck as much? Not a troll, I just wondered what the hubbub was.

But you need to consider what was added last year too. And for some even the year before that.

I doubt anyone's going from a 6S, except the ones who did the upgrade plans I guess.
