Yes, it was delivered much earlier than the October 2 - 13 estimated shipping date (given by AT&T). It's just that I wanted it NOW (or at least on the September 19th launch date). It was killing me to see others talk about having theirs.
And, DON'T get me started on all the videos of people destroying their new phones (the 6 and 6+)! I don't normally watch them, anyway, cause they're dumb (IMHO, of course). But, they were like adding salt to my wound(s) to see the new phones get destroyed while mine still wasn't in my hands.
Grrrrrr.....
And yes, if I may say so, it's a brilliant device! I absolutely adore it and am so glad I have it. And my eyes thank me, too!
I've never had a TouchID device, so that's cool, even though I find myself trying to enter the passcode versus using the touch. Oh, and I am going to have to learn to like the power/sleep button. Very strange, having it on the side.
Back to the topic - I'm right now waiting for my iPad Air to finish up a full restore to iOS 8.0.2. Seems to be fine.
