Apple iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Questions / Reservation numbers!.

[Meowmix]

Hello Everyone!

Once again i am making the iPhone Questions / Reservation thread!!!!! Apple just announced the new iPhone which is called iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus . The new iPhone's includes a bigger screen, different backing design, better camera & VoLTE & much much more. . This thread will be where you need to post questions & even your reservation numbers once Rogers announces it & puts it up. Please do NOT make another thread about reservation & or about the new iPhone . I would like to keep it as one thread & clean..I am sure getting the iPhone Plus !!!

1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the iPhone 6 to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Product & Services – Wireless & you will see a Red wording saying “Device Reservation" on the main page. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want " iPhone 6 / 6 Plus  16GB, 64G,128GB  " & the color of the device you want. You also need to pick the store you want it to go too. Just to make it clear, reservations are for current Rogers wireless customers which have contracts with them. Rogers will put up the Pre order list for people that want to pre order the phone which have no wireless accounts with Rogers. Also just too add below is the meaning of the statues .

- If your status is "OPEN", your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.

- If your status is "CANCELLED", your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.

- If your status is "IN PROGRESS", we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.

- If your status is "SHIPPED", your device has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose. Keep in mind that you can NOT reserve a device via calling them. It can ONLY happen if the reservation system is down but they will to reserve it via online. Plus if you reserve it via phone, you will NOT see your status or know what number you are VS reserving it online.

2). Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.

3). Also remember you are going to have to put down a $40 fee to reserve the device. Once it ships out, the $40 fee will be reversed back into your account. IF you want to cancel your reservation, that $40 will also be credit back to you. So either way you will get that $40 back. Also remember you may NOT be the first to get the phone if you have a high number or a low one. The Reservation system is made to have a device reserved for you as the stores will be sold out. If your reservation status still says “ OPEN” after launch & a store has a device in stock, you can still go in the store & get it. Then come back home & cancel the reservation online. If the status is “ IN PROGRESS” & you get a device via a store that have one for u, you have to wait until it ships out & then tell the store that u picked u do not want it. Do reemember the reservation number is CANADA - WIDE. This means if lets say you are #45 in line for the black one, you are #45 for that GB , color & model Canada wide. Also keep in mine you have to be the account holder in order to pick up the device at the store. No one else can. You can try adding a family member as Level  on the account but some stores will decline it.

For frequently asked questions about the Rogers Reservation System, please click here Rogers Reservation FAQ

4) .For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues  / confusen about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.

Pre orders will come out Friday Sept 12th & Launch date is Next Friday Sept 19th. I am sure Rogers will follow those orders. As for the device orders & which models Rogers will get. I am sure Rogers will get botboth models like they did last year.

Also the prices for both phones are different. So if you are going to get the iPhone 6 Plus, it will be much higher price then the iPhone 6. Rogers will announce the phone prices within either today or  sometime before Friday!!!

Also remember please post anything related about iPhone 6 & 6 Plus in here please. I know this is a long thread to read, but read it before asking multiple questions in which have been already answered in this post ( if they have been answered on this post / thread). I will do my best like I have for the past 4 years of doing this to answer any questions you have about the reservations or device.

Here are both links from Apple for the iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus. I know for sure i will be getting the iPhone 6 Plus!.

Thank you!

Hello rwanders2424

Very nice!!glad u got it:)

[limenthecoconut]

#698 on the 12th down to #266 as of right now for the 6 plus 128GB SG. I've been playing the apple game every midnight and now have a reseravation at Future Shop too. Let's see which one works out first! Glad to read people's positive reactions to their phone once they receive it. Memories of the waiting game just magically disappear I bet

So I have been using the iPhone 6 plus for about a day and half now and I gotta say it's amazing the screen is so clear and the camera captures every it of detail in the photo just amazing really impressed with what Apple produced this time

[limenthecoconut]

@wlkrmax and how's the battery life? I heard it's AMAZING! 😄

[Solaron]

The battery life is pretty darn good, that is my favorite part about the 6 Plus. 🙂

[acerdacer]

Can someone let me know what the iPhone 6 16gb battery life is like?

Lets say its at 100% when I leave in the morning at 9am and all im doing is the occasional text and social media on wifi throughout the day, what would it be at percentage wise by the end of the day around 5pm?

[Meowmix]

Hello Solaron


Honestly yes the 6+ has a amazing battery life! From 7am until at least 8-9 pm it lasts me with heavy usage. Better battery life then my S5 and HTC One M8 for sure lol.

I started at #366 I preordered at 6am Sept 12

64 Gold iphone6 ....Corporate reservation 2 days after launch, 560 in cue.
Been bouncing around from 316-320 this past weekend.
I'm going to do a reservation with A local store in town and see what comes first.
Reading these forums has really opened my eyes and I'm not sold on the reservation language for corporate customers when retail stores have stock. Albeit, 128 and 16's

@Martinhouse

I started out at 46 for the same model (6+ 128 gb sg).

Where were you before you went "in progress"?

Others?  start?  in progress?  when in progress?

Cannot believe that Rogers has not received at least 46 of that sku in 3 weeks

______________________________________________________________

I don't care how good the phone is.

I have come to expect insanely great product from Apple.

However, I will not soon forget the poor service from Rogers.

I had intended to upgrade.

Now, I do not think that I will ever sign another contract with Rogers.

They have been brutal.

If Apple was not providing product, they just had to say that.

This in not the first launch.

Inexcusable!!!!!!

[limenthecoconut]

I hear what you're saying @JS77 unfortunately, it's been pretty much the same everywhere - total madness. If anything get mad at apple lol or make resos with Future Shop or Apple for the next launch. That's what I'll be doing. This is becoming more and more a strategy game every year. Looks like we're waiting for the same exact phone too. Good luck to us SG 128 6 plus-ers! 😛

[JS77]

Nah, I cannot blame Apple.  I am not an Apple customer.  I pay Rogers a lot of $$$ every month and I used the ROGERS res system and not Apple's.  Had I used Apple's, I would have had a phone by now.  Which I actually need since I lost my 5 in August.

Rogers' customer service has been beyond bad.

Will definitely be looking at other options in the near and far term.

Good luck though

[acerdacer]

Well, just failed at getting the iPhone 6 Gold 16Gb at Yorkdale or Eaton Centre. I guess ill walk in tomorrow to YD and see if they have any that no one picked up. Another day to wait.

[JS77]

How hard would it have for Rogers to let us know what "in progress" means?

Looks like it means "yes, we still have your reservation that you got up at 5 am to make (even though we opened the lines at 3 am), and, 'yes' we have ordered product from Apple, but "no", we have no idea when or if you might receive your phone----even though we are a huge communications company.

[limenthecoconut]

I hear ya @acerdacer! yet another day... haha Btw, you're waiting on a 6? There are tons out there. Did you call or go to a Rogers store to ask?

[acerdacer]

Nope but I plan on going tomorrow. Im sure theyll have at least 1 that no one's picked up. BTW, do they do HUP's at Best Buy and Future Shop? Might have to check them out

[Cdr]

Acredacer I did a HUP at future shop no problm!!

[limenthecoconut]

@acerdacer yes they totally do! Defs go check them out, even call a few in advance so you can avoid all the extra leg work. FYI a lot of Rogers stores have 6 models.

[acerdacer]

Ok thanks Ill check out some stores for sure then tomorrow 🙂
