Does anybody know if reservations are coming back this year. Since they split the launch dates everything has got to be better as far as ordering and even supply since they ditched colors and 128gb...

Ya you reserve ur time to go in and pick it up. So much better then any other options

So I reserve a time slot to pick up my iPhone 8, 8+ and watch in my color/storage and pay for them when I get there correct?

No, for reservations you don’t pay anything Now. Only when you go into store. Just pick ur time slot and that’s it... it’s great but they didn’t do it last year..

Wait so doing preorder I can choose both iPhones and watch in color and storage and they will hold it for me? And pay when I get there?

Wasn't the RSVP only for the Apple Upgrade Plan? I remember the chaos of people getting declines and multiple inquiries on their reports

Years ago I could reserve and pay in person when I picked up, but last couple years it was pay online with a credit card to reserve. No more option to pay in store at pickup.

Yup, you select reservation and the items you want and then pick the time and that reserves them for you! Then just go in like 15 mom before ur time and bam. In and out. Pay nothing now only when u get there. And it doesn’t matter what program you do. 2 years ago I did it with ATT upgrade. But be ready in case they don’t have reservations this year then u will have to pay Now and have it shipped. Or just wait in front of Store day of..

I'm just paying full price for all. Does that matter?

I did it 2 year ago. Didn’t pay a dime to reserve. But last year they didn’t sell any iPhone pluses in the store at launch so they canceled reservations all together. I have not got a straight answer on reservation this year if they are going to have it or not... so who knows

None of that matters, IF they have reservations. Who knows maybe they changed how they do things I’m just saying how it was the last time they excepted reservations..

Yup, we will know in 20 minutes. The reservation is usually at the top somewhere little blue button if they have it..

Yup, they allowed it. 8am for me too! I live in a place where my Apple store is in a small city so it’s easier..
[doublepost=1505459669][/doublepost]

They allowed it bro, pickup at 8am
So you didn’t have to pay first with credit card, Apple in Canada doesn’t give the option anymore to pay in store at pickup?

I didn’t pre order, I’m waiting for the X. But I went through the steps to see if reservations were going to be happening and yes it was going to charge me. But at least they had reservations! Hope it’s like that for the X
