You snooze, you lose. That’s the tough lesson fans of the iPhone 6 Plus are learning today, after Apple sold out of launch day pre-orders for the 5.5-inch smartphone just hours after it went on sale.
Right now, people who visit Apple’s online store will see that the company is saying new pre-orders for the iPhone 6 Plus will arrive in 3-4 weeks, rather than September 19, the phone’s launch day. So far, the iPhone 6 is still available for a launch day pre-order in some configurations, though others are pushed out a week as of this writing.
Finally, people who are concerned about not getting an iPhone 6 Plus on launch day should remember that these aren’t limited edition products. Apple will eventually make one for everyone who wants to buy them. It just might take a little while.
