Checked local Apple stores for 14+ availability.

Found all colors available with most storage options.

Pickup this morning at Apple Store, local courier delivery for $9, and mail order delivery available.

If you want one today, best to buy one online and pick up at your Apple Store.

Unlocked 14+ near me:

In Lehigh Valley PA area on the site in store search, every single color/capacity combo was available in every nearby store

I noticed the same issue on my computer browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).

Wonder if the rush of purchases for today might be causing the webserver to go down?

But strangely using the Apple Store app on my mobile, I was able to see stock....

I had been getting the same error all morning. But recently went through.

I know that many think it will do very well, but I’m not one of them. The price is too high and I’m not sure who is the audience that wants a giant screen but doesn’t care about things like ProMotion and a zoom lens.

Tried the 14+ in store today. It was fun! It was big and light like the 6-8+ were. So nice. I almost bought it. But I want the tele and the macro. And the flicker on the PWM seemed worse compared to the Pros, but the 14 + was heaven to hold. Hope everybody who gets it enjoys it immensely.

Dang. Appreciate the report. I’ve been excited for this one but wanted to see what’s the PWM status before.

Looks like another year with the XR.

This would otherwise be the perfect phone for me.

Seems like not many are buying the 14 Plus. 🤣

Even so, most are going for the pro and pro max's here. Got more in stock today but all are gone within minutes.
 
From Apple.com: San Francisco and most stores within 30 miles are showing all colors and storage sizes available for pickup, no waiting. I'm assuming most people here went for the Pros.

How hard is the exchange process at the Apple store?

Exchange is an easy process. As long as they have the one you want in stock, they will process the exchange. You need to bring everything in it's package back to the apple store.

Had to cancel the Apple.com order due to UPS messup.

Had courier delivery on Friday evening deliver the 14+ from local Apple store for $9.

Looks good so far, battery life is amazing.

Easy eSIM setup and smooth data transfer from 12 Pro.

Battery life is amazing. I've been off charge for 20 hours with 8 hours screen time and still have 54% left. Love my plus so far

Battery life is insane actually... camera is good as well, took some pics with 14 PM and `4 + and had family choose which look better, was 50/50... can't really tell a difference honestly, except some details in a Starbucks cup :)

UPS is a mess lately. They messed up my 14PM order and lost a braided solo loop for my S8.

Glad you got your 14+ and you’re enjoying it. 👊😃👍
