No worries there, you can trade in towards the purchase when you go to pickup.

I am torn - I am going to Best Buy mobile at the Mall, less traffic than the main Best Buy store. But, the main Best Buy store probably gets more preorders because they get more traffic. The Best Buy mobile store at the mall might not be able to fill as many orders.

I am debating going up there when they open at 10 but I don't want to take my lunch that early. I am hoping since I could still order online at Apple or AT&T that I won't have a problem going up there at 11:30-12 and getting a preorder in.

EDIT:  Ah, apparently you can preorder from Apple and AT&T still, but it’s not release day delivery anymore. I guess Best Buy at 10am it is

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Depends on which one you are getting. I'm getting the 128 gb (This is replacing my Ipod too and I need a ton of space for my music) and its still available for shipping on the 19th.

Going to go with 64gb. I told my boss I would just use 30 minutes of PTO and leave at 9:55. Only a few minutes drive to the mall. Of course, I tell my team lead and an hour later she schedules a quick meeting for 10am. *smh*

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Err Went to preoder iPhone at Best Buy and they said it’s not allowing them to do preorders for iPhone 6 plus. WTF?!

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

For people in the market for a new phone like me, and debating whether to go Apple or Android, here's a handy comparison chart Cnet just released comparing the 6 Plus with two similarly sized Android flagships:

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I went to upgrade on sprint.com and all my orders failed due to my card not having funds. Log into my CC account and now I have $900 of Sprint fees! Chat is worthless, phone been on hold for over hour and have no order to show for it.

Not happy at all.

**Brandwin** · 09-12-2014, 11:47 AM

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I guess there is just a shortage of the Plus model. I can order any iPhone 6 size and color from Apple or AT&T with no problem and get it on release date, Plus is a 21-28 day turnaround. Ah well... I'll just order from Apple. It might get bumped up, it's happened before.

**LowerWolf** · 09-12-2014, 11:58 AM

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Yeah, there are supposed to be supply issues with the 6+.

I stayed up until 2:30 (central) to pre-order, couldn't get on, went to bed. Got up this morning at 7 and ordered a 64gb iPhone 6 with no problem. I feel like an idiot for staying up now.

I guess I wasnt the only one. I took me until 3:45 (est) to get my order to go through. Woke up and realized I couldve waited until 9am to order it . Either interest is down or Apple has plenty of supply.

I think it's the latter. I've heard Apple plans to ship some 80M iPhones between now and the holidays.

**Altimus** · 09-12-2014, 12:18 PM

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Hour and half on hold... at least I'm at work.

Should I try ordering again? Don't want 4 charges on my CC but whatever.

EDIT:

Can't even now log into my account. Haha... fail.

**ScoobySnax** · 09-12-2014, 12:23 PM

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

If you don't care about the charges (they should reverse once it errors out), then I'd order again. Do it through Apple. It was pretty seamless this AM.

Finally got a rep, she's terrible...

Yeah I should have just done it through Apple in the first place.

I'm surprised I can still preorder from AT&T. I was going to pull the trigger and trade my phone there next week, but I read you can't use the trade in credit towards your bill.

You can put it toward your bill. It's basically a store gift card. You just use the kiosk in the back of the store to do it.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

64 GB Silver pre-ordered at Best Buy. Switching from AT&T to Verizon. Will be trading in my current 5, as of today the amount I can get from them is $225, not bad. They also said that they would "most likely" be having a trade-in promo next Friday, as well.
