Apple to Offer In-Store Pickup Option for iPhone 6 Pre-Orders

I'm a little skeptical about the in-store pickup option. It is not listed on the regular Apple website, only on their retail site. I can remember when the 5 was released, people had a lot of trouble arranging in-store pickup, probably because of all the simultaneous orders and verifying in-store stock.
Can anyone confirm / disapprove this?
I just purchased an £800 Apple Store giftcard to order my new phone on and the people in the store said it should work
If it's coming Fedex, you may be able to re-route your delivery to be held at a Fedex location. After you get your tracking number, go on Fedex.com and request to have it held at a location. I had that done with a signature-required delivery recently. It was very convenient, just went there after work and picked it up. If the Fedex location is in a Kinko's, it's usually open 24 hours.
I remember something like that. Or maybe the preorders were open the day they were available in stores for the 5S.

You might be able to load the gift card onto your Apple Store account.

I hope I'm wrong,but try it. Go to the apple store app or online..... Add a iPad or whatever to your cart..... And when it comes to payment options you won't see a gift card option.
The iPhone 4 reservation system was totally different. You could reserve the phone but it was still a first come first served system since you did not have to pay for it online in advance. I'm fairly sure this reservation system is the personal pickup option where you are guaranteed a phone since you paid for it, which means you can go into the store any time of the day.
Yes you can. Instore purchases can be done either contract or installment plans. Online can do AT&T next, but has to ship to home, no personal pickup.
I just tried it and it worked, I was just wondering if it will still work for preordering the new iPhone
isn't there an apple store close by to where you will be? I'll be on vacation in Florida and I'm gonna do in-store pick up and just go to a store close to where I will be staying
So this is new for the iPhone 6? As of last week, there was no option for Next or Edge in Store.

Oh wow!!! That's good news. I just tried it and it didn't give me a gift card option
Anyways.... I'm happy for you

Might be because I'm from the UK and maybe you're not, who knows...
Thanks for your help
That's Grrrreat! Are you ordering for home delivery online with a new 2 year contract?
when you preorder, they put a hold on your card for that amount. they charge your card upon shipment
Finally someone sums it up...

online pre-order starts in 16 minutes here
Does it really? or does it start at 12:01AM Pacific - worldwide? I'm from the UK and checked Australian and Japanese apple store which should be allowing pre-orders (just for curiosity) but they are still disabled there...
