Getting the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus today? Tell us how it went

posted by Chris P. / Sep 19, 2014, 5:45 AM

In a little over an hour from now, Apple will open the doors of its stores across several states on the east coast, and hundreds of thousands of anxious customers will rush in so they can grab the very first units of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

We had a lengthy, fruitful rumor phase, and a lot of what the industry was expecting to see came to be true. The new iPhones, like pretty much any previous generation, are looking very promising, and we're honestly itching to get our hands on them and see what they bring to the table, and, of course, share the insights with you.

But right now, we're waiting. Anxiously. What about you? Are you queued up at a line somewhere, killing off time, but waiting to get your own hands on an iPhone 6 or a giant 6 Plus? Let us know, and do tell us how it all went in the shout box below!

More than iPhone 6 plus? I highly doubt that.

Especially factoring in the storage size. Almost all Android flagships ship with 32GB of storage with many adding in microSDXC support.

The iPhone 6 turned out to be a good phone after all. I watched many reviews and drop tests and it actually performed very well

Like iOmg, iTotally agree. iWent to the Apple store around the block from me and iPaid the person standing in line for me and told him that his services were no longer required. iThen patiently waited for that revolving glass space-age door to open as they ushered the first 20 down to the depths of Fifth Avenue and told us to graze left (iMean bear left) to the Apple Genius Bar registers; iWas number 4 in line. iTook my spot at the counter and told the yoing lady that iWished to purchase an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB in Martha Stewart Summer White and sat patiently as the device was retrieved from the depths of the stock room (one level beneath hell). iAm the happiest man on Earth, now iCan spend the next week at all of my social events flaunting my phone in front of everyone and seeking social iValiDation. However, iWill sell it next week on Craigslist for $1,900 ........ and, some iFool will undoubtedly buy it. iWINNING!!!

the iPhone 6 is the same price as it was the 5S... the 6 plus is 100 bucks more and yeah the 100 bucks storage change is pricy except for the 128GB version since SD cards for 128GB are a little bit more than 100 bucks on the market, making it reasonable.

$650 is 100 times more expensive than $650? Did you fail math at 1st grade and then drop out of school

You should definitely complete that sentence for him. I can't give you more thumbs up for doing so, but you would definitely earn future ones for creativity.

I should be able to walk in during my appointment time after work and just pick it up. And then make some $$$$$ by selling it.

Good luck, on Craigslist they're going for about $400-600 over retail. You should make a good buck man.

I do all my Craigslist sales at my local police station lobby. Eliminates the people with criminal intent.

Pre-orders for delivery are showing up with no waiting in line…. My friend who is upgrading a iP5 got their 6 along with the Otterbox case. No dropped phone for them. ;-)
