The iPhone 6 Plus is sold out everywhere. Apple.com is stating 3 to 4 weeks for all models, on all carriers and in all colors. This will probably not change drastically anytime soon.

When ordering from an iPhone 6 from the carriers for delivery by 9/19 here is the current status: Verizon has 16GB Silver, and 128GB models in all three colors. Sprint has gold models in all three sizes. AT&T is entirely sold out. T-Mobile does not have stock information available on their site. This is current as of 9:30AM Central Time.

All models of the iPhone 6 are 7 - 10 days at Apple.com for T-Mobile. The 16GB Space Gray on Verizon is now also at a 7 - 10 days.

All models of the iPhone 6 are now at 7 - 10 days at Apple.com. This is all carriers, all sizes, and all colors. Sprint has clarified its stock and this means that some models are still available for delivery by 9/19. AT&T and T-Mobile have remained unchanged.

For the iPhone 6 Plus Verizon's ship times have slipped by a week, in almost all cases. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint remain unchanged.

Nerf, enough said.

I thought I would keep this table up to date with iPhone availability. I'm not sure how long this will stay up to date, but I will keep periodically updating it. This is current as of 8:15AM Central Time.

The iPhone 6 Plus is still stating 3 to 4 weeks for all models, on all carriers and in all colors. I would not expect this to change drastically anytime soon. The only change is that the 64GB Space Gray model on AT&T is now at 7 to 10 days.

: The 64GB Gold on T-Mobile is now stating 7 - 10 days. This has been the only change since 8:15AM Central Time.

: The 128GB Silver on T-Mobile, 16GB Space Gray on AT&T, and 64GB Gold on AT&T, are all now stating 7 - 10 days. If you are still looking for phone to get on Launch Day, the 128GB Gold version is still available on all the carriers, through Apple, in the United States.

Here is the iPhone 6 Availability as of 7:15PM Central Time.

All iPhone 6 Plus models are sold out for release date shipping, and even 7 to 10 business day shipping. All iPhone 6 Plus models have a 3 to 4 week lead-time now. Most of iPhone 6 models are on a 7 to 10 day until shipment. As of this writing, none of the iPhone 6 models are 3 to 4 week wait times, yet. If you still want an iPhone 6 on release day, here are your options:

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.

. 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.

I posted that my iOS 8 for Users and Developers e-books were available for pre-order. These books still are available for pre-order. However, the release date has been moved up from October 1st to September 17th. Get your copy now.

Pre-orders are available from Apple (ePub), Apple (iBooks), or Amazon (ePub).

In case you are not aware, Apple is having an event on September 9th, 2014 beginning at 10AM Pacific Time/1PM Eastern/1700 UTC/1800 London Time. Typically, we would not know until the day of the event whether Apple would be live streaming the event or not. This time around, Apple has set up a page with a countdown. It can be viewed here. This link is also the link to the live stream. With the event a mere 4 days away now, there have been a plethora of rumors for what Apple will announce. Here are my thoughts about all of it.

• iOS 8
We will definitely see iOS 8, and likely know the release date. My prediction is that iOS 8 will be available to all iPhone owners as of September 17th. If Apple's patterns hold true, this will be the case. There has not been a developer update since early August. Apple has traditionally stopped providing updates for developers approximately one month prior to launch of an operating system.
• 4.7" iPhone 6
Yes, we will definitely see at least one new phone. Reportedly it will be a 4.7" model. There have been enough part leaks, as well as a video of a fully assembled phone (from parts) that has booted and connects to iTunes. This is too much evidence to not have this be real.
• 5.5" iPhone 6
While this is possible, it would not be surprising to see Apple release a 5.5" iPhone 6 as well. There has not been enough evidence to support this. But it is possible. The evidence in iOS 8 with Adaptive layouts points to this being likely.
• Updated iPad Air
This is the latest rumors to be unveiled. It is possible that Apple will release an updated iPad Air. It will most likely have a Touch ID sensor built-in, as well as 802.11AC. Both of these seem quite plausible.
• Update iPod Touch
It is not clear whether Apple will release an updated iPod Touch. The consensus is the iPod Touch will not get an update. This strikes me as a bit odd given that the iPod Touch last received an update in September of 2012. I predict that we will see an updated iPod Touch. It may not be running an A8 processor, but likely an A7, with Touch ID. The updated iPod Touch may carry a slightly higher price tag than the current A5-based iPod Touch, but I think we will see an updated iPod Touch.
• Wearable
There have been plenty of people that are speculating as to what Apple will be doing in the realm of wearables. Nobody has seen any type of wearable prototype. This is to be expected. In the US there is a requirement of having both Federal Communication Commission (FCC) as well as U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for any type of wearable that transmits health information. If Apple is going to release a wearable, they would want to announce it before it can be leaked by either of these agencies. This would be a similar tactic that they used with the original iPhone. If Apple does unveil a wearable product, it will likely not be available until Spring 2015. Apple also did this in September 2006 when they unveiled their first Apple TV.
• Apple TV
The Apple TV was last updated in March of 2012. While it is possible that the Apple TV will not see an update, it seems unlikely. Many have postulated that the Apple TV will become a gaming box. While this is definitely a possibility, the lack of storage seems to negate this possibility without an updated Apple TV. The only features currently missing from the Apple TV would be 4K output, at 60 Frames per second.
• HomeKit Accessories
At their World Wide Developer Conference 2014 (WWDC) keynote, Apple announced a couple of new frameworks. One of them being HealthKit, and the other being HomeKit. HomeKit is for the "Internet of Things" that allows users to control the devices that are Internet-enabled with their iOS devices. HomeKit offers the ability to string actions together to have any HomeKit enabled accessories perform actions. Apple could release some new accessories, or a completely new line of products, that is able to work with HomeKit. Some examples could be light bulbs, microwaves, or even an actual television; which has also been rumored for a long time.
• OS X 10.10 Yosemite
I do not think that we will see OS X Yosemite released at the September 9th event. While it may be mentioned in the context of items like Handoff, SMS and Phone Relay, and other Continuity features. However, if Apple follows the same patterns, OS X 10.10 Yosemite will be released in October. Any updates to existing Macs, like the Mac Mini or even the Retina iMacs, would most likely come at the same time.

Apple is holding their event at the Flint Center for performing arts in Cupertino. This has some significance for Apple. The original Mac, released in 1984, was unveiled last the Flint Center, as was the original iMac. It would make sense that Apple would release another "original" product at the same location. The Flint Center holds three times as many people as their typical venue, the Yerba Buena Center.

The last significant item regarding the location is that Apple is building a three-story large structure around the Flint Center's statue. It is not known what the purpose of this building is, but we will find out on Tuesday. Below is a picture of the structure. Regardless of what Apple does have in store for us, be sure that it will not be a small affair and that it will be one to be sure to live stream.

Here is an in-depth look at the new Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Multiplayer.

I've spent the last three months working hard on writing two new e-books. They are "iOS 8 for Users and Developers" and "OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Users, Administrators, and Developers". These are available in two different formats, iBooks and ePub.

iOS 8 for Users and Developers looks at all of the new features for iOS 8 including Family Sharing, Health, Spotlight, iCloud, Extensions, Custom Keyboards, Handoff, HomeKit, Changes to Messages, Safari updates, and Mail changes.

Specifically for developers we look at Handoff, HomeKit, extensions, Custom Keyboard Security, Touch ID API, Sprite Kit, Scene Kit, CloudKit, PhotoKit, WebKit (WKWebView), Universal applications and Size Classes, switching to Modern Objective-C, Visual Debugging, the basics of Swift, and how App Bundles will affect developers.

OS X 10.10 Yosemite: for Users, Administrators, and Developers looks at all of the new features of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, including Handoff, SMS Relay, the updated look, Extensions, and changes to Safari and much more.

For Server Administrators we look at the ability to customize connectivity globally as well as on a per-service level and the implications of some configurations. Also discussed is the new “Reachability” feature and security.

For the Developers we take a look at the new Frameworks available with OS X 10.10 Yosemite, the changes to Xcode, and a brief look at Swift.

OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Users, Administrators and Developer has something for all users of OS X.

Pre-orders are available from Apple (iBooks), Apple(ePub), or Amazon (ePub).

One section of the OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Users, Administrators and Developers has also been made into a separate e-book. That e-book is titled "OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Server Administrators"

OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Server Administrators looks at all of the new features of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, including Handoff, SMS Relay, the updated look, the ability to customize connectivity globally as well as on a per-service level and the implications of some configurations. Also discussed is the new “Reachability” feature and security.

Pre-orders for OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Server Administrators are only available from Apple. The two versions are iBooks or ePub.
