I have been an Apple fan since its inception and have owned all of their iphones except the iphone 5 or 5S. I held out waiting for the larger iphone 6 with some thought of even buying the 6+
Last week with preorders it took forever to get onto the Apple store site and once I did delivery was 3-6 weeks out for an iphone 6+
I live about 2 miles from an ATT store and because they are my carrier i thought I would walk in today when the store opened. Got there 15 minutes before they opened and lo and behold I was 3rd in line. They said they had phones but not the 6+ (which they did have on display)
I did a careful perusal of the 6+ and it is truly a phablet and all due respects to Johnny Vinyl who loves his Samsung Note, I just could not fathom my carrying around the larger iphone 6+. It's huge. As much as i wanted one, they had none, only 13 iphone 6's and I was third in line.
Store opened at 0930 and I walked out with my new silver/white 64 Gb Iphone 6 at 0945
The local verizon store in the same mall had over 100 people in line. All of the 3 local Apple stores to me had over 1000 people in line all the way out to the street
So my suggestion is to show up just before the ATT store opens. They told me they never have a line more than a few people.
They don't sell Apple Care but you can buy it online or take your new phone with receipt to the Apple store to buy Apple Care
The new iOS8 is terrific BTW
My plan is to play with the 6 for 3-4 weeks until there is an ample supply of 6+ at which time I will compare the two. Just too difficult today at the store with everyone all over it
