If I pre-order an iPhone 4S now with a 2-3 week ship date, will I still have the flexibility of picking one up at an Apple retail store while my online order is in queue?
I made the mistake of not pre-ordering last Friday, so now I'm looking at a 2-3 week delay if I pre-order. My plan would be to pre-order one now (depending on the answer I get to this thread) and go out looking for one in the retail channel in the interim.
I have an early flight this Friday out of town, so camping out at an Apple store on launch day is a no go for me. I would be looking sometime early next week, which I know will be extremely hit or miss given my experience with the iPad 2, hence my plan to have a pre-order in queue.
So what so you forum members, would I still be eligible for a $200 iPhone in the retail channel if I have one pre-ordered with Apple.com (in queue awaiting a shipping date)?
