I've had quite the run around.
Went to Target at 8 am. Their electronics department wasn't going to open until noon. I asked an employee if they had the Special Edition iPhone. "What?"
"The new iPhone. The SE?"
"oh, the SE! Dunno."
"Thanks..."
Went to Walmart next. Had to hunt someone down per usual. Turns out THEY DON'T CARRY iPHONES.
Up next: Verizon. They had iPhone SE in all colors with 16 GB but only gold and rose for the 64. No thank you. Silver please. Why should I settle for a different color and micro storage capacity? I'm shelling out half a grand. Why do they fight it?
Went back to Target for noon. They didn't even get a shipment. They recommended Sam's Club.
Sam's Club guy #1 didn't know there was a new iPhone. Guy #2 didn't know when they were going to get them.
AT&T is up to bat. The girl said they were told that they will only have them after the 31st and that they are Apple.com exclusive for now. Apple.com says "in stores 3.31."
Went to Sprint next, out of curiosity. (I know I need one compatible with Verizon.) Sure enough, they didn't have them either.
Alright, fine. So I'll order one from Apple! Their mobile website is. a. joke. Main pages work fine but it's impossible to buy anything. I could make a better website.
Maybe when I get home I'll order one and wait two weeks. Maybe not. I'm not convinced Apple is really trying to sell these things. Hell, I'm so turned off by my experience I might just get a used 6S. There sure are going to be a lot of them next week.
