Apple to Launch Personal Pickup for iPhone 5 Tonight

I've been looking at 10:00 pm every night for Verizon white 16gb in Socal and haven't had any luck until today...I just happened to walk into my local Radio Shack around 3:00 pm and they happen to have just one iPhone 5 in stock and it happens to be what I'm looking for. I'm finally done!
 
Finally got through! Refreshed a few times at 10pm and got a black 32 gig AT&T iphone 5. :cool::)

My girlfriend got through too and got the white 16.

I have to go up to Brea, that was the only place listed. I'll take it though to end this iPhone fever. Plus gotta ship my iPhone 4 to ebay buyer. Good luck and my advice is have the phone you want in the cart before 10pm.

Sorry but that's not accurate. They update the inventory at 10PM.

You know..they said to stay up from 10pm to 4am for a reason. Well.. you can just go ahead and order ONLINE if you want..or just wait till they have enough supplies like 2 months later. Choice is your to believe or not...not my problem. I'm just trying to help you. Also, I'm just stating that from another night, i got a message under "check available from local store" or something like...stating that my local apple store got 20 in stock for my specific iphone 5.

Just to let you...i just reserved mine last night.
 
Question :

so my store updated and all gone .

they will stay add more stock till 4:00 am or they update just once in that period and once they get sold out its over till the next day

They update their stocks within those time frame. Don't quote me on exact 4am. I just saw that last update that was 4:15 am (the time I fell asleep and waked up at 5am).

i meant i saw the the inventory update at 10:00 pm , but not for the model that i wanted .

are they gonna add more , or thats all what they have for tonight ?
 
I've been looking for a couple of nights. I almost had one last night, but got one tonight at the Brea store, black 32 AT&T. I have to drive an hour to get it, but whatever. I can have lunch with my sis and be a good brother.

Where does it say they update inventories between 10PM and 4AM? All the site says is that you're able to reserve the phone in that timeframe. But the actual updating of the inventory happens at 10PM.

I just don't want you to waste people's time by spreading false information.

actual update is AFTER 10pm. let's get that clear.
 
I got a 64GB iPhone 5 black from the Apple Store in Green Hills in Nashville TN yesterday. Only took two days of trying and got one. Right at 10 pm, refreshed and there it was
 
Went online ~10:20pm EDT and got what I was looking for: 32 GB white

Picked up from SoHo, NYC store first thing in morning.

I feel bad for these pre-order peeps...
 
I refreshed my browser and "Inventory updated nightly at 10 p.m." came back. What a fun game! :confused:

Mine just says what it has for the last couple of nights now. I can look at stores but there is 0 inventory. Anywhere.
 
I don't understand the Verizon shortage considering all the iPhone 5's have the same exact hardware just with different firmware.

1000th post!
