I had the in-store pick up last time for my 7+ with pick up window. I showed up a little early. They just checked you in and I waited on separate waiting line. All in-store pick up for everything is waiting in the same pick up line. It depends on who is waiting what at the time of your arrival. You might be in and out quickly and might not. That was my experience. All in all, they tried to get people in and out as quickly as they could.
Got a tip for us?

13:30pm pickup here, not happy... I'm going to get there around 12:30 I think, so if i do have to wait until my slot it's not too long!WELP! My card was just charged. My pick up time is 11/3 at 8am.
Apple have put a hold on £999 from my bank. Haven’t been charged yet though. But that’s good progress!
Same here in Canada. I think they charge you once your iPhone has been picked up.
I was charged last night around 4PM PDT.

You check in with a specialist at your given time.

Actually, I chatted with Apple Support about this and they said that if you are an Account Manager (which has the same privileges as Account Holder like upgrading your device) and your name is on that iPhone X you ordered, then you, the Account Manager, can pick it up without the Account Holder being present.
Awesome! Thanks for the info dude! I'm looking forward to Friday
I was charged last night! My pick up window is between 10 - 1030 and my carrier is Sprint. My order on Apple.com still says Order in Process: Your order will be available soon
I really hope it gets here by friday! Does everybody's order still say order in process as well? When will it show that its being shipped to the store?

Still order in progress for me. Don't think it will change for another few days.
Decided to take day off from work, my preorder is 5pm.. gonna get there first thing and line up and see if they are able to hand over A LOT earlier, I'm happy to wait in the line though
Be nice to be there for launch day, not really done that, always had the product delivered (iPad 1st gen laugh was only launch I went to on the day)

You brave brave soul. My slot is 13:30-14:00 and i'm debating when to turn up. I'm thinking around 12:30, so if i do have to wait it isn't so bad. Maybe i will become more impatient Friday morning and that will all change...Decided to take day off from work, my preorder is 5pm.. gonna get there first thing and line up and see if they are able to hand over A LOT earlier, I'm happy to wait in the line though

My slot is 17:00 - 17:30 in case I can’t get away from work. I’m a field engineer so hoping I’ll have a job to do near or on way passed the Apple Store!
Every activation and sim-swap post has me more and more worried about the move to embedded SIM technology that makes "just swapping your SIM" a thing of the past... Sorry, not actually on-topic for this thread, just an observation and a fear of how the carriers will regain Verizon/CDMA-style control over the devices you bring to their networks... and maybe even fees every time you switch.

honestly, it will be so crazy there i would show up right at 1:30. Then you wont have to wait at all...
I think that the afternoon times will be much better than the 8:00am slot I have... the morning rush will be gone, I'm guessing walk-up sales will be over for the day, and queues should be smaller with only the prepaid and IUP customers waiting.
Also that is how terrorists and drug dealers use phones these days along with disposable phones. Just swap the sims and throw away. I bet the government is putting some pressure on them to switch to that...
