Florida 6/6 Plus stock
that pisses me off so much. you would think Apple would impose some kind of limit (one per week per customer for the first two months, or something similar. but even that is being really generous)
what about all the people who are trying to buy these phones for themselves? I blame Apple just as much as I do the punks who are doing it
EDIT: and by the way, if Apple actually had sufficient stock of iPhones for their customers, these phone flippers would not make money at all. if I had the choice of buying it from a retail store vs from some guy who is selling at $300+ above retail, where do you think people are going to go? again, Apple's fault. they have seen the past few iphone launches and should be able to anticipate selling AT LEAST the same number of iPhones as the year before
okay. rant over.
no space gray 6+ at international mall or Brandon mall, as expected

I agree that Apple does play a fault in this by not having some sort of back up plan to try and help get these phones to people who haven't been lining up everyday buying everything since Day 1.
I personally like the online reservation system and think that a great way to make it work better for the end user is to require a cellphone account of some kind. Chances are most of the people who do line up ever day couldn't pass the credit check and that would give the majority of us at least a shot at buying the phone we want.
I also think 1 phone per person for launch month would help, especially if they know they are going to be short supply on a specific model.
Edit: Side note, I don't see any stock anything anywhere aside from some scattered Sprint still. I didn't last night either when I woke up at 3AM for the suspected stock refresh.

I hear ya. We are inline inside now and apple is counting to give out reservations. The employee came out to tell everyone. The sad thing he had to say it twice. Once in English and Spanish. There are many that don't speak any English.
I have had no issues every year here this is the first time I have I countered this.
Their is even an American family here with father mother daughter son and they are all buying to resell.
This is bull crap. Like you said, they should limit it to 2 per id for the first few months. Unless broken exchange like that.
I need a 6 Plus and Miami is (or was) showing the ATT flavor in stock. only problem is that store is like 4 hours away from me. I want another 6 Plus badly but not bad enough to drive 8 hours round trip.
ah ok, I wonder if they have a separate stock to sell in store that they don't put online for pickup. how is the line btw?
I have been saying this for days. Never online here but have morning walkins. They are not putting them in inventory for online purchase.
ok thanks, i thought so but was told differently by an employee.
anyway keep us updated!
Idk, how can nothing ever pop up online but have walkins in the am, not that 5-6 phones is great.
I think I'm just throwing in the towel for now.
Before I left one of those scalpers came back to the line and the person with them did not return to the line. He waited outside the line. But he kept telling the guy thank you.
Way to go apple, they need to limit with id per release month. Like I told one of the people there, I want 2 phones to actually use not make money!

Florida 6/6 Plus stock
international mall got a bunch of iPhone 6 models in 128GB capacity for all carriers and a couple 16GB plus models for Sprint.
no Verizon or AT&T plusses.
EDIT: oh and there were a bunch of resellers waiting in line posting ads to craigslist as they were waiting in line as soon as they found out which models they're getting

wow that's the location that I would go to, glad I didn't wait this morning.
the line actually wasn't long. it was as skimpy as their iPhone 6 plus stock
yeah I'm looking for a verizon 64gb + and I've tried twice this week already. I just hate driving over an hour for nothing. Are you going to try again tomorrow?
no, I can't go tomorrow, which is unfortunate because they might get some good stock before the weekend. I'm looking to get a space gray 64GB Verizon plus as well
