Now that yesterday's feeding frenzy is over. Has anyone been able to walk into a store and easily buy an iPhone 6? There's been posts from people that have returned their Plus and got a 4.7" so it sounds like some stores still have them ready to go. Probably more likely to happen in an Apple store. I can't upgrade until Oct 1st. I'll just search online then to see if any stores in a 50 mile radius has the one I want.
Got a tip for us?

Can you walk into a store to buy a 6 now?

My apple store has most 6 models listed as available for in store pickup so the 6 doesn't seem to be too bad.
I searched earlier for a 128GB Gray AT&T model earlier and every store it pulled up in the search (as far away from Georgia as Kentucky) had available stock. I've been told the local carrier stores and Best Buy have stock too. Doesn't sound like its too hard to find one if you're looking for an iPhone 6.
The Apple store where I am has/had plenty of 6's this afternoon when I went in; went to see what the 6+ looked like, of which they had zero. Not sure what carriers the 6's were for, other than Verizon, as I didn't ask.
Depends on what country you are in.
In the UK they are operating a reservation system, so it's highly unlikely you will just be able to walk in and buy for a while.
US? Don't know.
My friend walked in to a carrier store today and grabbed a GOLD 64 GB version. He stated that he could have gotten any color/storage option he wanted outside of the 6+. Sounds like a lot of stock on available for the 6.
In my area (Southern California), it appears to me that you can pretty much get any iPhone 6 model you want at an Apple Store.
No 6 Plus anywhere though. (Of course)

Yes, but you will probably have to wait in a line.
The big bottleneck seems to be when people have issues upgrading under contract. This delays the time per purchase and really slows down the line.

My friend got a 64GB Space Gray yesterday at 3PM walking into a local store. He called ahead and then hustled over. He got the last one. So it is possible.
Just go to apple.com and select one you want (Size, color, Carrier, etc) and then select pickup at store. It will show list of nearby apple store. If any of them show "Available" order it online. Within 30 min (for me at least!) status changed from Processing to Ready for pickup. I will get it tomorrow morning when store opens! It is safe to order online and go to store rather than waiting to be lucky.
SW Florida-AT&T store by me had 6s available when they closed on Release Day. Didn't check today.
I read in the forum somewhere of Chinese scalpers. Maybe, a chinese menu at your favorite take out will offer both 6 and 6+.
Most Apple stores in the Houston area have had most iPhone 6 models in stock since Saturday morning. Sometime yesterday afternoon, most of them went to unavailable and as of this morning, they all seem to be stocked up again.
I've visited 4 different Best Buy stores and while they have had some iPhone 6 models, none of them have had the 64GB Space Grey AT&T model I am looking for.
