.....I think I was wrong on the Sprint $50/month unlimited data access....I think you have to pay full price for the phone (not discounted price) for this unlimited data access 2 year deal .....so for a 6S+ with 64GB you pay $850 plus $50/month with Sprint for unlimited vs $400 plus $60/month for 2GB/month for 2 years with Verizon.......over 24 months it's $2050 for the Sprint deal and $1840 for the Verizon deal.......so the Verizon deal (for 2 years) is still better if you use 2GB or less data.........at least that's my take.

......looks like a 6 week delay for 6S+ from Sprint......website just changed to reflect this

Thanks for the note.

The Single-Line Plan is a special Verizon promotion and it appears that you can not order it via the Apple Website. I did some reading and it looks like you can switch to it by calling Verizon (I plan to go to the store next to the Apple Store when I pick mine up to try this). This promotion basically saves $30/month. There is some concern that the promotion ends before September 19 which I have to check on.

I need tethering off the phone and I don't know if the single-line plan allows for tethering. If it doesn't, then I might be better off with the More Everything.

BTW, I don't really make many phone calls or texts so a minimalist plan works for me but there's no option on the Apple site for that. I may consider cancelling my order on the Apple Store and ordering at the Verizon Store but I'd lose my place in line.

Thanks for posting your comments.

Update: after doing some more reading, I'm going to try to cancel my Apple Store order and go into the Verizon Store to get this promotional deal. I've read that several people were unable to order the single-line plan through Verizon's website as well.

Do you recall how you ordered it?

Update 2: I just went through the Verizon Site and didn't see a way to choose an individual plan. I know that you posted directions so I'll look at those again.

Update 3: I found it. I just need to check the Ts and Cs for tethering.

Intel’s 7 nm node is really what the rest of the industry considers a 10 nm node, Van den Brink countered. Intel has jumped a node ahead of the rest of the industry in how it names its processes, but the underlying resolutions used by Intel and its rivals are essentially the same at any given point in time because they are using the same litho machines, he argued.
