Is there a way to find out if Apple stores have the iPhone 5 in stock? In prior years that had something simple on the website to indicate availability. When I call now, they say you can find out between 10pm-4am but it looks like you have to try and buy it and say you want to pick it up in the store.

Is there some other way to find out. Is there a crowdsourced resource? Calling the store is a major pain. I can't tell if they've received any more stock since the weekend.
 
No way to tell. Apple probably reserves iPhones at each local store for people who have reserved it the previous night at 10PM-4AM. And what ever is left over you can try to risk your luck.
