Apple's iPhone 6 Pre-order Fiasco

iphone6p-gray-select-2014

Issues are always expected for early adopters and today has been no exception. Apple stated that pre-orders would begin today, September 12th, for their iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The Apple Online store was still down at 4AM Central, and came up some time by 5AM Central. The only way that users seemed to be able to access the store was through the Apple App Store application on their iPhones and iPads.

There are many reasons to deal with all of the issues and try to pre-order as soon as possible. The primary reason is shipping delays. As of 5:45AM Central Time, the shipping times for the iPhone 6 from all the carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile) and in all sizes (16GB, 64GB, and 128GB) and in all colors (Silver, Gold, and Space Gray) is still 9/19. However, the iPhone 6 Plus is a different story.

Update 7:45AM Central Time

. All iPhone 6 Plus Models are now at 3-4 weeks for all carriers and colors. These must be in shorter supply than the iPhone 6.
