iPhone 6 Plus Backorder

I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus, space gray, 128GB phone on 09/23. The planned shipment date range was 10/31/2014 through 11/11/2014. On 11/07/2014, I received an email stating--summarized as you've all seen--"This phone is popular and AT&T doesn't know when we'll actually deliver, but we'll let'cha know." They missed the 11/11 shipment date. I haven't seen a single piece of concrete delivery information since and it's been almost 8 weeks since I ordered. To boot, they charged me the upgrade fee within a week of my order. Six weeks on, I insisted that if they couldn't deliver they should waive the upgrade fee, which to their credit, they did. I've checked my order status nearly every day for the past six weeks online and by phone. AT&T is not being transparent. They are not communicating with customers who could be waiting months on an open-ended back order list. Well, I finally got fed up and used my office social networking page to organize a number (11 fellow employees at this point) of my coworkers who are also fed up with AT&T's obfuscation and avoidance. Several local Verizon stores in our area have the iPhone 6 Plus in 128GB for immediate pickup and we've decided together that we will all move en masse to Verizon and cancel our AT&T service if we don't receive concrete delivery dates by next week before Thanksgiving. We continue to use the company social network to add more to our number. If AT&T doesn't think an individual decision to leave after six years is significant, add up a year's worth of revenue from 11 current, high data subscribers. You quickly get to a figure exceeding $10,000 in lost revenue in a single year. If we sign two year agreements with Verizon, you're talking over $20,000 in revenue losses to AT&T. Our mutiny list is growing.

i have been an AT&T wireless customer for over 30 years now and have never been so close to changing carriers. I have had a gold 128g iphone 6 plus on order since Sept 28th and just receive a message that the estimated delivery of Nov 14 cannot be made and the only available status is unit is on back order and feel free to cancel you you don't want to wait for an undetermined future date. At a minimum AT&T should had provided a estimated delivery date

My opinion is that AT&T initially under ordered some of the 18 different iPhone 6 sku's. (6 vs 6+, three colors, three memory sizes).

They probably have new orders in now. But Apple might still be working on fulfilling older orders from other third parties.

Ordered 9/20 Six+ 128gb SG, shipping dates 10/31-11/07. Back ordered. Apple leather case also.

Hey that's grea...Woah, WHA?! You order 2-4 weeks after most posting and get a shipped status while we get another month added in an AT&T email? How's that work? And I'm sorry but "hang in there" doesn't quite resonate...
