What is your AT&T iPhone 6s order status today [remember that you can SIM unlock AT&T iPhone as soon as you get your new model in hands]? Are you among lucky customers whose order is about to ship? It is interesting that iPhone 6s Plus consumers don’t report the new status updates. Apple might really experience shortage with this model and thus it could be shipped later on.

You know that millions of users who haven’t pre-ordered their new iPhone will be lining up in front of Apple stores on September 25th. The company will sell the new gen models in most states. Only customers who live in Delaware and other states without taxes won’t be able to purchase the new ‘s’ handset on Friday launch date.

iPhone 6s Sold Out on Apple Online Store Ahead of Public Release

The long-expected iPhone 6s on sale date is approaching. This Friday, September 25, the new generation ‘fruit’ smartphones should be available in stores across the U.S. however Apple reported about iPhone 6s sold out already on its site ahead of the official public release.

It seems that customers who didn’t pre-order the iPhone 6s Plus or iPhone 6s will have hard times finding the new models on the store shelves this week, at least in some areas across country.

The news about Apple online store iPhone 6s sold out issue could create long lines of those consumers who wish to own this gadget and are planning to rush to the store on the launch day since the online store is out of stock.

The famous Cupertino-based company is already locking down walk-in iPhone sales in some states. While the new model goes on sale on September 25th you can still order it online however the fastest shipping date listed is already September 29th. This means you’ll have to wait a few days before the device could reach you. However you cannot pick up your model in store on September 25th if you order it today or tomorrow.

We still don’t know if the ‘s’ lineup could beat the 2014 record when Apple solve 10 million units of its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Experts were skeptical about such a possibility but the ‘fruit’ giant reported high demand on the 6s Plus models with iOS 9 firmware pre-installed and assured that the pre-orders could possibly set up a new iPhone sales record in 2015.

You can still order AT&T iPhone 6s and Verizon iPhone 6s Plus this week to have them shipped overnight to you. The two carriers seem to have enough models in-stock to satisfy customers’ needs.

Are you planning to get the never-locked iPhone 6s directly from Apple or purchase the contract model from any of the U.S. mobile networks?

Does AT&T Throttle Unlimited Data Users?

AT&T iPhone throttling is a big issue for a lot of grandfathered data plan users who have unlimited packages and wish to get unlimited data per month as well. With iOS 9 release and new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus upgrade customers might want to use even more because of the big amount of new features and options available in 2015.

Does AT&T throttle unlimited data users? Yes, it does. However the U.S. carriers assures that not all iOS 9 users will be throttled this year. The company promise to slow the speeds only for heavy users who cross the 22GB limit per month.

It is curious that the company is changing its rules silently. AT&T iPhone throttling plans are now updated in its support documents. The policy is upgraded specifically for grandfathered unlimited data plan subscribers [here is how to unlock iPhone from AT&T to avoid throttling]. These users will be officially throttled once they get over the 22GB of data limit in the singe billing cycle.

Previously it was reported that AT&T was throttling iPhone users who crossed the 5GB limit in congested areas. It’s great the the carrier increased the limit by 4.5 times however it’s still unclear why ‘unlimited data plan’ users are limited to how much they allowed to use at regular speeds.

What do you think about this initiative? Are you ok with getting only 22GB until you become throttled by AT&T? This is of course better than previous rules but not all grandfathered plan users will be happy to be throttled. The company is trying to get away from the unlimited data plan subscribers and the only method it came up with was throttling those who didn’t agree to switch to a different plan.

Can I Update iOS 9 GM to Final Public iOS 9 via OTA?

Have you been testing iOS 9 betas and iOS 9 GM [Golden Master version] on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch? Apple launched the first Public Beta testing program this year and a lot of users were searching for bugs in the new firmware this summer. How it is possible to update to iOS 9 from beta or GM version?

It is possible and you can also find out what to do and how to get iOS 9 OTA update if you were testing beta firmware releases and / or the last GM build 13A340 that was unveiled earlier in September.

GM or Gold Master version always precedes the public firmware launch. Still iOS 9 public version has a different build number than the GM and thus users wish to upgrade to the final platform offered by Apple. Since its build number is different [it is 13A5344] you should get the OTA update option and download the latest version available.

Since there are a lot of users with iPad, iPhone and iPod touch who are trying to use iOS 9 OTA update feature – the high traffic might cause errors and not let you install this platform right away. If this is the case you should manually update via iTunes by downloading the ipsw file through direct iOS 9 download links or download it directly from iTunes [if high traffic doesn’t lead to issues].

Remember that Apple is taking iPhone 6s pre-orders and also testing iOS 9.1 beta now so you might want to get this firmware version instead of public iOS 9 if you are planning to continue testing and reporting bugs you find this fall.

Users who have a jailbroken iDevice will not get the OTA update for iOS 9 as they will only see ‘Checking for Update’ message in General menu. If you want to lose the jailbreak and get this firmware you should use iTunes for upgrading.

iPhone 6s Sale Date Line or Distant Pre-Orders?

There should be two lines at 8 AM on September 25 however you can already pre-order you handset. Apple started to take pre-orders last weekend and assures that a lot of consumers are demanding its 2015 models.

In other words, iPhone 6s sale is offered online and will be soon offered at physical stores. You can choose whether to pre-order the device and pick it up at stores or have shipped to your doorstep or go to the store and purchase the new iPhone from there.

The only way to avoid long lines is to pre-order the smartphone with home delivery option or buy it later on when the ‘s’ gadgets are in stock online and available with 2-7 business day shipping.

AT&T iPhone 6s Coverage vs Sprint Coverage

There are a lot of carriers in different countries and you can choose which network to use when you are planning to get the new generation Apple smartphone. For example, customers who live in the U.S. might have the choice of iPhone 6s AT&T and Sprint models. What mobile company is the best based on its coverage?

Prospective customers of iPhone 6s Plus or iPhone 6s should take into consideration the cellular coverage because it is responsible for your phone calls, internet connection and other factors. Luckily, iOS 9 firmware version these two models will be running also supports WiFi calling for AT&T and this means you will stay connected even in the areas where the coverage is absent or there is no signal but there is WiFi network.

AT&T iPhone Coverage

This is one of the largest U.S. mobile companies with 4G coverage. This network is available in major metropolitan areas and on most highways covering about 300 million people. iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 6s AT&T Next plan is a great option for users who live on the East coast on Midwest as these areas boast the best AT&T coverage in the country.

AT&T offers nice speed however it can throttle heavy users who are still on grandfathered data plans.

Sprint iPhone 6s Coverage

Compared to AT&T, Sprint has to work on its customer service improvement and coverage areas. This company is far behind the two major networks, AT&T and Verizon, and it still offers 3G coverage in West along with 4G in big metropolitan areas and highways on the Midwest and East coast.

Sprint is much slower than AT&T however its monthly data plan pricing is also lower than what iPhone 6s AT&T offers. If you are looking for less expensive plans this could be a good option for you however if you need fast download / upload speeds and better coverage you might want to stay with AT&T carrier.
