USA Release of iPhone 6: The Ridiculous Wait Time

Waiting for the new iPhone release date and unveiling was tiring enough and now we hear that Apple is having trouble dealing with thousands of preorders that have to be delivered on time. According to the latest updates, the release date of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in  the USA is on  September 19, but now things do not look so simple, especially for iPhone 6 Plus.

Although Apple had anticipated a good number of orders after the September 9 event, the preorders have even exceeded expectations. Additionally, the manufacturing time for iPhone 6 Plus is long and now fans will have to wait till the second week of October.

Obviously, the hefty price tag, that reportedly failed to match the phone's features, did not deter consumers. The 128 GB iPhone 6 costs $2500, an amount that not many people can easily part with.

When these phones hit the stores in around four days, the queues will definitely become a lot longer. Hopefully, many Apple fans will get their hands on iPhone 6 in USA and UK by September 19. The release dates for other countries will vary but the shipping time will be more lengthy than usual.

As expected, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be offered by  AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. However, details on how much a contract costs are still unavailable.
