How often do apple stores restock? Mine is expected to deliver Oct 5-12th and I'd like to time a reservation and secure mine as soon as possible.

Should I be checking daily or is there a certain time they restock a week?

Honestly you should check as many times as you can because they update the stock regularly thats what i have noticed.
 
My iPhone 7 32gb matte shipped Thursday from
Telus by of course they shipped it Canada post cause they are so dumb over there so it will come eventually.... maybe never. Who knows

My iPhone 7+ 128gb hasn't even shipped yet

My watch series 2 shipped today. Finally.

Honestly, if we were going by the past two years' reserve and pick up system, I would've suggested checking at 12AM local time.

This year, they changed it and it's become random. Last night, there were some Jet Black Pluses in Richmond around 6PM. Yet, the site suggests to check at 8AM when clearly the reserve system was available around 2AM.
 
Is anyone's Telus preorders shipping yet? Still have the unfortunate 4-6 weeks shipping estimate for my 256 GB Jet Black 7 Plus.
NOOOOOOOO. :'( i emailed Telus yesterday and they haven't responded yet. I think i might chat them up again. Im getting so inpatient. Next year i am for sure ordering through Apple

I have the same. If I get to reserve a 128gb Black I'll just probably end up getting that then cancelling my TELUS order. I'm fine with either anyways.
 
Just an update to my situation from earlier, I went to my reservation at Apple Yorkdale earlier today and showed them my reservation for the phone and they simply asked if I wanted to get it unlocked or on a carrier. Told them unlocked, and I was brought in to purchase it hassle free - in and out in about 15 minutes. Glad they still have the reserve option available!
 
Anyone ordered the jet black 7 plus 128GB with a delivery date of Oct 5th-12?

I did, but my delivery date was Sept. 27th-Oct4. It sent to Preparing for shipment last Thursday and my card was charged yesterday. Cannot find any tracking or support info though.
 
Are you able to go to an apple store and get an iphone on a 2 year plan with telus? I signed up for a new one with telus (contract ends this month) when I preordered, but am I able to do the same thing at the Apple Store and cancel my online order with Telus?

Yup that's what the guys at TELUS suggested me, to secure and reserve a phone first at the actual Apple Store then if I'm able to get one then I could cancel my order online (I would imagine I would have to contact them directly if I have to cancel it since there's no button anywhere on the site that says cancel order but they said I could cancel my order). My plan ended this month too. What plan did you end up getting?

EDIT: To add with @therfman's comment, yes you can get a carrier phone for your reservation.

Yes, if you reserve a unit (not order online for in-store pickup), you can set it up at the store either on a contract or unlocked. If I really correctly, the Apple Store and setup plans for Bell, Telus, Rogers, Virgin and Fido. I'm not sure about Koodo. I know for a fact they can't set you up with Videotron (best value by far for those in QC or eastern Ontario).

I see! I asked because they offered me a bunch of new features for my plan so I would stay with them. They wouldn't go with my old $55 plan anymore since they said it's old so now I'm on a $65 plan (with 5GB + Unlimited everything + Free International Text/Calls) then they said I could make it $66 and they would make my data 6GB.
[doublepost=1474169884][/doublepost]Reservation page has officially gone offline. Time to stay up and wait for it to show up! Hopefully I can finally get an iPhone 7 Plus tomorrow!

Thanks for the response! I checked at 11:40PM and was able to place a reservation and cancelled my pre-order that was going to arrive in two weeks :D Super excited for tomorrow.

How do you check Apple retail stores' stock?

The ear piece is larger than 6s, so it wouldn't fit properly
Hmm. The genius dude at Apple said the skin protector for the 6P will fit the 7P.

Try tracking your shipment through the ups website.The "track by reference"option might work where you enter your iphone order number just exclude the last 2 digits or enter your phone number select the country and postal code and try tracking it might just work.Best of luck!!
 
Did you guys hear about the loud hissing noise on the 7s as a result of a heavy load on the CPU? Yikes.

Yeah but i heard its pretty normal alot of people are just noticing it when they restore their phone and it seems everyone is just paying 2 much attention to it.

I haven't noticed any hissing noise at all. I did notice the first day of use (Friday. )that there was a fair bit of heat on the backside but I think that was due to the constant use and getting everything started up. It hasn't even got warm since.

Happened with me as well... no heating / warming since then
 
Ah got the reserve store right when it opened but figures there was no black iPhone + available in London. Was going to get Waterloo but that is a 2 h 40 min drive. Guess I will just wait for my preorder. I wish there was an apple store closer to Windsor lol
 
:D my JB 7+ 128gb got shipped this morning
