Is anyone else as crazy as me going to be online at 3am Friday to pre-order an iPhone 6?

We're trading in my wife's 4s and my 5 for a pair of 128GB Gold iPhone 6 Plus models.

I'm sure you won't be alone there Alan. I'll wait a few weeks though. Take my place in line.

Not after losing all of my info on the last update no more iPhones in this family

I may wait a few months to let the dust settle.

You gotta love Apple and their pricing strategy ;-) The bigger (5.5" diagonal vs. 4.7" diagonal) iphone 6+ is only an extra $100 and to go from 16 GBs to 64 GBs is only an extra $100 and to go from 64 GBs to 128 GBs is only an extra $100. You may as well get the maxed out version but it is essentially an $850 phone when you consider the additional cost per month with a new 2-year plan. I think we will wait another year to replace our 2 iphone 4s models but the iphone 6+ sure looks great with the much larger screen. Please post back when you have them and let us know what you think.

Did you back up your phone on your computer? Even though my contacts automatically sync with my computer via the cloud, I do plug it in every month or so to update. Also, my computer is backed up on an external hard drive every two minutes.

when I see/hear the retail prices of $500 or $650 or $850 I always wonder.....who, if anybody pays retail for a phone?

I wait until I am entitled to an upgrade and then wait until the model I want is either free or less than $100.......and this assumes our current phones are a problem.

Do you know or ever heard of anybody paying retail?

If you want the current Apple iphone model (iphone 6), there are no deals. If you are content with the previous generation, then there are deals. Other manufacturers are different but that is the way Apple works. The only exception I have come across with Apple is refurbished products.

You can get an iphone 5c (previous generation) with 8GBytes for $0 upfront and a new 24 month contract. With ATT, you will essentially wind up paying $360 for that phone ($15/month for 24 months when you don't BYOD). For an extra $200 upfront you can have an iphone 6 (4.7" diagonal) with 16 GBytes.

"Free phones" (i.e. $0 upfront when you agree to a new 2 year contract) are not really free. Again, ATT will charge you $15/month for 2 years when you don't bring your own device.

Better deals can be found without a 2-year contract.

I have the iPhone 5C and am very jealous of you!!!

My wife and I were dragged in to buying our first I Phone because of the various additional uses. The benefit with Apple's new program is their program for making payments via phone vis a vis credit cards when that comes to full fruition it is going to be the cats pajamas

[Teryl1949]

You'll be in line behind me

[dewilson58]

They are playing catch up to Samsung

[Proscoe]

It may not be three in the morning but it will certainly be the next day.

Very excited about the bill pay feature!

I'm due for an upgrade next month
I'm drooling at the possibility of the iPhone 6
