iPhone 6 US Carrier Pricing, Pre-Order & Release Info: Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile
Apple will release two iPhones this month in the US. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus will both featue Apple's new Retina HD display, Apple Pay mobile payments, and 8-megapixel camera and the new A8 processor. Both models will be available for purchase on Friday, Sept 19. Pre-orders for the phone will begin on Friday Sept. 12.
If you're interested in picking up an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus in the coming days, we've compiled a list of when and where you can pick one up in the coming weeks. Check it out.
Apple Stores
Apple will begin selling the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in its retail locations around the country at 8 am local time on Friday, Sept. 19. Though, if you're planning on picking one up at an Apple Store, you might want to start waiting in line beforehand because people started lining up more than a week ago in some locations. The smarter way to pick one up directly from Apple would be to pre-order your new iPhone on Apple's website on Sept. 12 and it will ship on or around Sept. 19.
Verizon
Verizon has promised to give users a $200 gift card if you trade in your old iPhone, provided it is an iPhone 4, 4s, 5 or 5c AND that you buy a new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. They will require you to sign up for a Verizon Edge agreement, two-year contract or just buy a new iPhone at full retail price. If you trade in your iPhone 5s, there's better news. Verizon will give you $300 for your 5s, if you still agree to the above terms, of course. You can pre-order your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus through Verizon's website beginning on Sept. 12 at 12:01 am PT.
Sprint
Sprint has just unveiled it's iPhone for Life plan which will give users an unlimited data plan and upgrade options for $50 a month. Essentially, users are "leasing" the phone from Sprint, who guarantee that subscribers to the plan will receive an updated iPhone every 24 months. Not sure how this is better than a standard 2-year purchase plan, at least at the end of those you actually own a phone.
Anyhow, Sprint will "lease" the iPhone 6 to users for $0 down and $20 a month. So combined with the $50 for unlimited data, you're looking at $70 a month for the entry level iPhone 6 option. The 16GB iPhone 6 Plus can be had for $0 down and $25 a month, and figure in $50 for the data so you're monthly total would be $75 for the phone and plan.
Sprint will offer both iPhone 6 models on it's "Framily" plans, beginning at $30 a month with a 2-year agreement. So, if you're not into leasing an iPhone 6, you can purchase one for $199 with a new 2-year deal, and the iPhone 6 Plus will start at $299 on a 2-year deal. You can pre-order your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus on Sprint's website on Sept. 12 at 12 am PT.
AT&T
Those interested in purchasing an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus on AT&T can go to this dedicated page on the company's website, but it doesn't provide much info at this point.

T-Mobile
T-Mobile will begin selling the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in its stores on Sept. 19, and pre-orders will begin on Sept. 12., just like the other major carriers. If you want to be reminded to pre-order, you can sign up on their website.
