Apple Store is down on computer, at&t is now 14-21 days on all iPhone 6+ configs, Sprint says online that shipping times for 6+ 64 & 128 GB are 3-4 weeks to ship, and 16GB is 4-6 weeks, iPhone 6 all models are September 19 for now. Talk about crazy today. Edit: Apple store is back up. Shipping times are: iPhone 6: all models 9/19 iPhone 6 Plus: 7-10 business days. It appears that Apple produced less Plus models for initial ship than they did of the 4.7" models. How totally predictable of them, unfortunately.

Apple Store down too. http://store.apple.com/

Gold when I can order it.

Yep. If you order from Sprint or Apple, it's the same time.

Not me due to a Sprint technicality.

I can't pre-order my phone until the 17th if I want to use Easy Pay to buy it.
-
Ouch. That sucks. And I wish they'd add online Easy Pay payoffs too.
-
To pay off your phone early, you have to call customer service and tell them you want to pay off Easy Pay on the line you want to pay off.
-
I'm on the phone with customer service, and they said eligibility resets in 5 days. I'm going to try to get that pushed up unless telesales can do something.

I paid off my iPhone 5s about an hour ago, and now when I go to sprint.com, it's telling me I have to wait 3 months before I can get a new device on easy pay. This isn't good by any means.

iPhone for Life!

I'm planning to pick mine up on Friday. I'll be pre-ordering this Friday.

One thing I find interesting is that Apple kept all 3 colors for the 5S, expanded them to the 6/6+, and kept all 5 colors of the 5C. So now there are 14 different color/model combinations, for a total of 29 different iPhone choices this time around. So there is truly something for everyone.

To update you on this, the iPhone 5S had the following EIRP for PCS 1xRTT: 29.58 dBm, EVDO 30.38, SMR: 20.30 dBm, and an antenna gain of -2.4 dBi for CDMA Band Class 10 (aka SMR), and 1.6 dBi for Band Class 1 (aka PCS). In terms of RF performance on 1x800 voice, the iPhone 6/6+ are slightly better than the 5S, but not significant enough to notice it. The Nexus 5 has SMR: 22.7 dBm, PCS 1xRTT: 29.3 dBm, EVDO 30.0 dBm, and antenna gains of -1.01 dBi for PCS, and -3.02 for Cellular (800 MHz band). Edit: Hopefully Sprint will change the PRL to scan for 1x800 voice over 1x1900 voice, but that would only be a miracle at this point.

I can in the morning.

Well, with looking at more FCC docs, I'll be disappointed if I'm reading this right that CDMA Band Class 10 has a peak gain of -2.3 and Band Class 1 has a peak gain of 2.9, rendering the 1x800 voice as a last chance to maintain native Sprint service kind of thing. EIRP for PCS is 27.92 dBm, and for SMR it's 20.63 dBm.
-
So, I am looking at the FCC docs for the iPhone 6/6+, and on the primary antenna, Band 41 LTE has an antenna gain of 3.25 dBi. This phone will be a Band 41 beast. I wonder how it'll work with range on 8T8R antennas?
-
If Apple did not implement eCSFB for iPhone 6/6+, then it will be just like iPhone 5/5c/5s. The phone will scan 1x every so many seconds to determine if a phone call is coming thru. If this is the case again, then there won't be issues like the other tri-band phones had at the beginning.
