  1. I just got my 6+ this afternoon. Haven't hit B41 yet but haven't been in an area rated as such yet either. But I AM happy to report that I'm getting LTE in areas where I was lucky to get 1x on my 5 so now my phone is usable at home without wifi if I want, bonus. Speeds aren't phenomenal in my neighborhood (but much better than it was before) but I haven't really been out in the world to test other areas yet, that'll come tomorrow.

  2. I ordered a 6+ on the morning of the 13th and still have not received a status update from Sprint. The community boards on the Sprint website have several upset customers that have not received their phones. Sprint is informing them that they are doing all they can to get more supplies secured but they are at the mercy of Apple. They are telling customers 4 to 6 weeks on the 6+. Still, people complain that Sprint is the culprit with not having enough supply available.

     

    If the complainers would logically think this through, Sprint is not the manufacturer, Apple is. If they want to voice their issues, point those towards Apple. Sprint can only sell what they have available. Unfortunately, parts of economics law of supply and demand have really come into effect. Luckily, Apple has not decided to raise the price.

    I tend to agree with you; however it is quite frustrating when one preorders because the whole idea of a preorder is to get the unit before it's available to the general public.

     

    If it hasn't shipped and you want one sooner, I'm finding they have them at best buy and target (as well as the Apple Store).

  3. Its apparently only effecting 6/6+ users from what I've read across the net.

    I've read the same, but Apple has pulled 8.0.1 from the OTA updates at the moment to fix the problem so I'm not even worrying about the update for the time being. When they re-release it I'll watch for comments on macrumors first :)

  4. I guess the moral of the story here is to not put your phone in your pocket and sit on it unless you have it in a sturdy case, and to wait for reviews for iOS updates first.

     

    I still haven't gotten my 6+ (waiting on the metaphorical 'slow boat from China' as we speak) but I'm glad I didn't attempt 8.0.1 on my 5.

  5. Wow, i am looking forward to this phone even more. I have a 5 that doesn't even get B26 so as you can imagine my current LTE is spotty at best. I'm hoping that the significantly better radio in the 6/6+ will resolve the issue - based on Sensorly I should have excellent signal here.

  6. Can we fully unlock with Sprint? I tried calling to unlock my iPhone5 for better resale value, but the CS wouldn't' give me the unlock code because I am still 'under contract' until Oct 25.

     

    always wondered how that works

    My understanding is that they will unlock for international use but don't for domestic use. Models introduced after February 2015 should be able to be fully unlocked for domestic use but as of right now I don't think they'll do a domestic unlock. Something about not having the ability to unlock the cdma radio or something, I'd have to look it up again.

  7. I'm planning on ordering my 6 Plus tomorrow. Yes, I'll have to wait up to 6 weeks, but I think I'll survive. Is in store a better way to order than to home?

    If you live close to an Apple Store, I suggest trying for a pickup reservation at apple.com -- you could get one tomorrow or Monday if you time it out right.

     

    If not, well, the stores apparently don't have pluses in stock yet, dunno when they will.

     

    I've heard reports of shipments being sent up to the 13th so far. The sooner you order, the sooner you'll get it but from what I'm hearing the 4-6 weeks thing is extreme highballing.

     

    I ordered mine on the 16th and am hoping to hear something next week. We'll see.

  8. Glad to hear the good feedback. Still waiting on my order. Checked this morning and still no tracking number.

    Same boat. I've heard that the wait times quoted at Sprint and by Sprint Customer Care are way high balled and we should expect them in the next 5-7 days but I don't know how reputable that information is.

    Go to Settings > About, scroll down to Carrier and tap that. It'll show your current PRL

     

    Updating the PRL can be done by dialing ##873283# (##UPDATE#) and then hitting call.

     

    ***edit: heh, this didn't answer the question at hand. My bad.***

  10. I wonder if the wifi calling comment was talking about Continuity in iOS 8. My iPad displays missed calls for me now when both my phone and iPad are connected to the same wifi and apparently it's supposed to allow people to accept calls on their other devices. It isn't true wifi calling though - it uses wifi to connect to your phone, then uses the mobile to connect to the towers.
