Just got my in-store confirmation, with a very odd message at the bottom.

Followed by...

Pre-authorization does not guarantee iPhone availability at an Apple Retail Store. iPhone is sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Your reservation is valid for pickup only at the Apple Retail Store that you selected.

If you do not collect your selected item(s) by the designated date and time, your reservation will be canceled.




What's the difference between pre-authorization and a reservation? I wasn't asked for a credit card number. (BTW I'm an existing iPhone user w/AT&T replacing my current phone.)

What do you think?
