So I Didn't Pre Order And I Work On The Day Of The Release, Am I Pretty Much Assed Out? i.e Gonna Have To Wait 2 Months For Restocks?

Unless you at an Apple Store at opening you're out of luck for awhile for the 6 plus, I think you might only need to wait a week or so for the 6

these 6 plus reviews are hilarious

its funny seeing all the 180s these dudes doing now that apple has a big phone :mjlol:



edit: from the comment section on the techcrunch review

Some points I take issue with...

"For most tasks, I find the iPhone 6 Plus to be a two-handed device – but I also find that I’m absolutely fine with that." - So, I guess he's evolved from saying 'phablets' are "... big screen gadgets best-suited for big-handed people" (see: http://techcrunch.com/
2013/09/04/samsungn-reveals-the-galaxy-note-3-the-slimmer-and-lighter-evolution-of-the-phablet/) or that "...there are some arguments in favor of the gargantuan device, but they melt away when you try to wrangle one in a human-sized hand" (see: http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/24/fly-or-die-nokia-lumia-1520/) to saying that, as long as it's Apple, he's fine with it being a two-handed device.

"...when used on my home network, which is run from a current-generation Airport Extreme..." - Never trust a reviewer to be impartial to an ecosystem when they are one of those folks who rush out and buy the newest router because Apple. Ummm, it's a router...

"And the optical stabilization, in addition to the software-based stabilization Apple already uses in its iPhone camera, results in a photo-taking experience like no other." - You know, except for all those Nokia Lumias that have had optical image stabilization (OIS) for years. See: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/05/nokia-lumia-920-official/

And the kicker...
"Apple has managed to make the very first well-designed smartphone of epic scale, regardless of your thoughts on the merit of the category as a whole." - Seriously? Wow. Just wow.

breh this shyt is too funny

peep this one.This is how the review starts off on recode

Maybe I’m getting old, and my eyes are getting worse. Or maybe I’m stuck in Apple’s reality-distortion field (help). But something strange happened this week.

I started to like a phablet.

:laff:

The Apple store is on the 2nd floor so you need to probably go in the back way employees use to go in by the Macy's. They might have a sign or security guard letting you know which entryways are open (they've done this in years previous)
