W414 here and haven’t seen anything either. Feel your pain.
I have W499 and I haven’t seen $h#+
Even though I managed to get one for in store pickup on Saturday (ordered it at 8 am), near me they sure didn't overstock. I haven't seen stock at any of the stores within an hour or two of me since late morning Saturday.

Yes, it is.I ordered at 3:15am on preorder day and have shown and still showing Nov. 17-24. I still can't believe people are walking in and getting theirs. That is beyond annoying and frustrating.
With my experience, it was around 11 am on Sunday, just when the local apple stores here opened. I was settled to wait for Nov 17 - 24 delivery, until the configuration I wanted appeared as available at the Stanford Apple Store in Palo Alto. I cancelled my Nov 17 order, waited for about 5 minutes, and then purchased from the Stanford store at around 11:30 am. What's interesting was seeing available phones (256 GB) at other stores in the area. I think you just need to check just when the stores open. Perhaps I got lucky, it was right after the daylight savings time changes. Maybe people sleeping?When does apple update the reservation system? 6am?

Except this is the exact opposite of "How it has been".Very disappointing, I agree. I think it was probably to generate "it's sold out" hype. I will probably think twice about pre-ordering next time, and just go to my local Apple store and pick one up, if this is how it's going to be.
Somebody tell John Hammond not to post personal info.And now the internet has your full home address!

Never have I seen Apple ignoring first come, first serve matra and bumping specific types of orders (IUP).
Never have I see Apple flooding retail channels with inventory while orders already collected sit collecting dust.
This is new. Who can say this is how it will be next year?

[doublepost=1509990186][/doublepost]Is it sad that I thought the same thing too when I saw the pics? On the other hand maybe thats why some of us haven't seen any movement, INGEN is running the operation.![]()
Just looking out for your safetyGone now thanks did not think much of that no order numbers or phone numbers but its gone either case.
I agree with you. I'm no longer part of the IUP program, due to this launch and reading about what happened to IUP members last year. I switched to the Verizon Upgrade program. I will either order through Verizon next year, or just pick-up in store like I did this year...on launch day. I'm refusing the shipment of my original order, and exiting the IUP program. Another reason I don't like IUP, is that you are required to buy Apple Care with your order. My issue with this is that I would be paying for two years of Apple Care, when I only need one. I picked up a 1 year Square Trade warranty for $80, which covers everything that Apple Care does, with the same deductibles, and with Square Trade I can file up to 4 claims during the one year that I'm covered, regardless of the damage amount or whether or not it was accidental, etc. It doesn't come with the additional tech support, however that is not something I need. It's a far better deal in my opinion.
That's bs about first come first serve... I order 3 days before someone else and I'm stuck at 11/21 where a person 3 days after me orders they have a tracking number for a order that shipped..Spoke to Apple again this morning and they swear in their apology 101 BS that they have no control over who gets their order when and it is First come first serve when i advised that was completely bogus because all of the IUP ppl are getting their, I was hung up on.
Not trying to change your mind but if you are on the iUP you only pay for half, or one year of the Apple care if you upgrade after 12 months not 2 years. Enjoy your phone!

Hmmm??? I’m listening!!! Will VZW let you upgrade every year to a new iPhone and out of the agreement if you want next year?
Good Question. In the past my orders always updated overnight.When does apple update the reservation system? 6am?
I'm kind of wondering what would happen if I canceled and ordered again..I agree same here with me
Finally some movement! My CC just got charged and my status changed to Preparing for shipment!!! Yay it’s still showing Nov 17-24 tho! I hope that will change!
I’m doing the ATT installment plan
