Apple fans around the world are finally getting their hands on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus this morning, in some cases after waiting in line overnight or for multiple days. In the picture below, the enterprising Brian Westbrook at our news partner KING5 has the closest thing to an official count from the Apple Store in Seattle.

In many cases, it will be easier to get your hands on the iPhone 6 than the larger iPhone 6 Plus. For example, here’s what T-Mobile had to say in an email statement this morning.
T-Mobile has seen tremendous demand for the new iPhones, and T-Mobile stores will have the iPhone 6 in stock this morning, with more arriving throughout the weekend. At this point, T-Mobile doesn’t expect to have the iPhone 6 Plus in stock right away. Anyone who orders an iPhone 6 Plus or 6 in a T-Mobile store or at t-mobile.com through Sunday will get free shipping for their new device as soon as T-Mobile receives additional inventory.
Re/code reports that Sprint is in a similar situation, although some Best Buy stores may have a limited supply of the iPhone 6. Apple similarly sold out of iPhone 6 Plus preorders more quickly than iPhone 6 preorders.
