Forgot to Pre-Order an iPhone 14 Pro? Apple Store Pickup Available Today at Select Locations

[MacRumors]

iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are beginning to arrive to customers around the world after pre-orders began on Friday, September 9. For customers who forgot to pre-order one of the Pro models or simply decided to wait, most configurations are now estimated for delivery in October, but the good news is that same-day or next-day pickup is now an option at select Apple Store locations around the world.

Apple's online store in the United States, for example, shows a variety of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max configurations available for pickup between today and Sunday, but availability varies by state. Some models are similarly available for Apple Store pickup today or tomorrow in countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom.

To order a product with Apple Store pickup, add the product to your bag on Apple.com or in the Apple Store app, proceed to checkout, select the "I'll pick it up" option, enter your ZIP or postal code, choose an available Apple Store location, select a pickup date, and select a 15-minute check-in window. Payment is completed online, and a valid government-issued photo ID and the order number may be required upon pickup.

iPhone 14 Pro models may also be available for walk-in customers at Apple Store locations with enough inventory, but your mileage may vary. Walk-in customers may be placed into a separate queue with lower priority upon arrival to the store.

Update: Inventory is now sold out or depleted in many locations.

The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max must not be selling well since it's pretty easy to find it available for store pickup in a lot of areas.

I hope everyone enjoys their new 14 pro.

So was the 13PM last year. Miami stock sold out quick today at 8 am for pick up today/tomorrow. Anyways picking up mine in 3 hours. Instead of people thinking its bad sales why cant people appreciate that during this pandemic we don't have to wait for an apple device for months. I've been waiting for my next SUV for 3 months now. Still got 3-4 more months to go. In my opinion apple has handled these production issues marvelously.

Just did this and getting my pro tonite. Couldn’t be easier.

I knew I'd forgotten something, that's why I have over a grand in my bank account right now...

Does Costco have the unlocked versions in warehouse yet?

Costco.com had presales available yesterday, but as of today there's no longer an option to purchase the new models on Costco.com.

Oof... this has got to smart.... 30 whole people queueing....

It wasn't the Omotesando store, but I remember being here for my iPhone 4s... There were literally over a thousand people lined up in front of the Ginza store, from the previous night hoping to pick up a day one device. people were nipping out of the queue to buy ramen, kebabs and beer... some even brought camping chairs and small tables. The queue was folded back on itself with makeshift barriers but continued beyond the originally planned zone, snaking around the corner and down the road towards Yurakucho station... The police actually made a "public nuisance complaint" to Apple since the queue crossed a public road and created a potential safety hazard. Apple staff at one point were handing out coffee and soda to the throngs of waiting people and there was almost a festival mood with randoms talking to each other to pass the time...

How times have changed.

30 people... LOL

I had purchased on pre-release day and set it up for delivery today. Apple says "delivery today" but when I track it, UPS has it set for delivery on Monday the 19th. I'm too big of a kid so I just purchased a 2nd iPhone for pickup TODAY in the Apple Store. lol.

I'll just return the one that arrives on Monday but those 3 days would kill me, especially since my wife's says it will in fact deliver today.

Thank God for in-store pick-up.

Maybe because back then pre ordering wasn’t the norm like today?

 

[GraXXoR]

Maybe... but actually incorrect... I got my iPhone 4 the previous year by pre order and walked into the store at Akihabara to pick it up in the afternoon.

I forgot to pre-order my 4s so I decided in a fit of drunken bravado to queue up from the previous evening instead of catching the last train home.

Kind of "odd" that the Apple Site is not updated yet. Shows pre-order for the 16th still even though it is available now.

Not true: in NYC the in-store pick-up stock for the 13PM was not nearly as abundant as it’s for the 14PM now. It took days and constant checking multiple times a day to be able to secure a 13PM for in-store pick-up last year.

I didn't forget to pre-order... but my estimated delivery is still Oct 10-17. Now I'm seeing my same color/config available for pickup tomorrow if I order today... lol

Why even pre-order...

I was disappointed that Costco only offered the Pro Max in graphite or whatever it’s called and not the silver.

 

[ghanwani]

I want whatever is not available.

 

[Rocko99991]

No store has any Pro Max model except Deep Purple color.

That's the only colour we're interested in.

Fixed now. It says "Buy" instead of "pre-order".

Not quite easy here. The one I want is available 53.2mi away but all the other stores are unavailable. Hopefully it will still be somewhere next friday.

Might want Black depending on how Purple Purple looks

This is why I just do Store Pickup anymore. I can usually find it for launch or a week out at the worst

 

[Kung]

It was pretty rough. Got there at 10 a.m. to the local T-Mobile store, and it took me a whole 20 minutes or so to get everything taken care of and walk out with a 14P.

 

[Coffee50]

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, lol...but is EPP pricing an option yet? (Honestly can't remember if the phones are ever on EPP)

 

[jsnuff1]

Yea if you live in NYC or LA areas they are available everywhere....I just did an instore pickup for later today lol.

Either demand is way less than they expected or they just built a shitton this year.
