I am one of the crazies who got up at 3am on Friday the 12th and ordered 2 iPhone 6 Plus 128gig gold phones to replace my 5 and my wife's 4s.

Since I got in early enough, they both arrived by UPS on the 19th.

The phone is the same size as a Galaxy 4 and I never heard any complaints about that phone's size. It fits into my front pants pocket fine.

The best thing is I can finally read all of the pdf and Word contracts I receive for review when not in the office.

Cool

Hmmmm...... Over 10 million iPhone 6's sold and 9 complaints about bending.

Seems to be a non-issue....

I bought an iPhone 6 on the 25th. I was told by att that it was back ordered. It would ship in 4 to 6 weeks. It showed up three days later.

The iPhone 6 plus is way to big. The iPhone 6 is perfect

Default I Made Money Getting The 6!!

I ordered a 128 GB from Apple, along with a nifty leather case. They both came on the morning of the first day they were out, delivered by FedEx. Setup was a breeze by following the Apple setup assistant. (I was upgrading from a 5s though.)

The best news, and the reason I ordered the iPhone 6 so early in its life, was what I could get by selling my 5s. I scouted around the internet to get the best price, which was at Amazon Electronics Trade In (http://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Trade-In/)

Amazon paid me $364 for my iPhone 5s. I paid $300 to upgrade from my 5s with 64 GB of memory to the 128 with the 6. So even with doubling the memory of my phone, I made $64--more than enough to pay for the nifty leather case and still leave enough for a large Papa John's pizza!

Such a deal!!

Yes...a post that hits the nail on the head. Thank you! I get frustrated when "facts" are distorted and echo'ed by people who just pass on bad info.

No, but the nifty leather case cost $49 plux tax, leaving only about $12. That's just what the new all-meat pizza they're selling cost.

the 9 complaints apple reports and the actual reports are 2 totally different numbers, consumer reports testing showed it takes only 70 pounds of force
(a very small number in the scheme of things) to bend an iphone 6 and 150 pounds to bend the samsung galaxy. The iphones new operating system has been held up because it doesn't work, so you cannot as yet use the new software to give you the new features promised.....the only thing apple does well is marketing, what is it three or 4 new versions in a year that the apple bots must have? HILARIOUS!!!

Did you originate a new 2-year contract?

I'm guessing you meant the intersection of Rolling Acres and 441/27, not 466.

Yes, I did. But I don't bounce around from provider to provider, so it's no big deal to me. Besides, after suffering thru 2 years with AT&T and hundreds of dropped calls, I love the great coverage of Verizon.
