Nope, Monday to Fridays on the East Coast from what I've been told, and usually the in store reservation stocks go live in the evenings on the day they received the stock, usually around 7 to 8 PM just before the store closes, well at least in my area
They received a few iPhone Pros and Pro Max last week mostly 256GB and 512GB capacities,and my local Apple Store had sporadic stocks of Pro and Pro Max posted on Apple.com 3 times already last week. I was able to pickup a blue iPhone Pro Max 256 GB for my cousin.
Keep your eyes out, the in store pickup stocks are more common than you may think, and you most likely don't have to wait until November like you do for online orders
The Apple stores in my area were showing new stock throughout the day on Saturday. It just wasn’t the one that I wanted. They would last about 10 minutes until they were gone. That happened at least 5 times yesterday at about 5 different locations.
Was it Saturday morning or late afternoon/evening?
If its yesterday morning, most likely they received the shipment on Friday evening either right before or right after the store has already been closed.
Do not expect new shipments on Sunday, unless they received some on Saturday and didn't enter into their system
Well, if you desperate, just keep your eyes out from time to time and you'll get one well before the current estimate delivery date of November for Apple online shipped orders

They do get shipments on Saturday as well. I've seen plenty show up available for pick up on Saturday, especially yesterday. But then it's also a possibility that they got shipment on late Friday but too late to scan in so they did inventory in the morning.
It seems like Apple in store inventory is focused on North American demand at this time.
A few ex-patriate friends in Hong Kong Japan and Singapore also have been looking for in store pickup since launch day and couldn't find any in their local Apple stores, which in the US, in store stocks are being replenished (depending on your area) almost every other day.
Just be patient, I'm sure the stocks in London will return to normal levels by late october. We are still in the middle of a global pandemic, as well as a concurrent globak chipmshortage after all
I preordered my 2021 iPad Pro M1 12.9 on the day preorder opened, and I had to wait until almost July, well over a month after the official release date on May 21,2021. The local Apple stores even on launch day had zero stock.
Even now, I think the stocks for iPad Pros, the regular iPad and the new Mini are extremely low in stores and completely sold out online.
Guess it's either Apple products are too popular for its own good and the demand is astronomical, or Apple Supply Chains has been hit real bad due to ongoing chip shortages and delayed shipping containers/crates and the skyrocketing prices and demand for shipping containers, crates and vessels..
Probably it's a combination of all of the above cause so much order delays for these products. Heck, it's Ben almost a year since the PS5 was released, and you still can't find them in store shelves lol. This is literally a repeat of what happened with the launch of the PS3 and the original Wii lol

You also have to think of it this way, there is always a possibility of one that can cancel the order or someone put in reservations but then didn't pick it up. Those tend to go back to stock.
well, stock here on the west coast has been non existent however, when I went into the apple store Friday night they had a blue pro max 256gb, I picked up.... (not on the website) and some 13 Pros 500 gb.. they said if they are at a low level they don't even adverstse on the site... and make them check at the store!
At least here in the San Francisco Bay Area there is stock online for pick up at a store everyday.
Within the last two days there were a lot of 13 Pro Max available but no 13 Pro.
Most of them are sold within 2-3 minutes.

Friday night is when I saw that apple store near me has received just Sierra Blue 13 pro max 256 GB, only 20 of them showed up available for in-store pick up and pretty much they were all gone within 2 hours of it’s showing up online. Lol
Where are you seeing how many of each model? In the apple store app I’m just seeing available or not.
Once you put it in the bag you change the QTY amount. You keep going up in numbers until it says Currently unavailable for pick up. For now this only works on the apple store app. If you do this on the safari, it only limits to 2.
I was able to grab a Sierra Blue pro max 256gb at 8pm last night for in store pick up today. Been trying all week and finally found one!
Not seeing anything in the VA/DC/MD area from yesterday through this morning. Didn't someone say that stock refreshes on Sundays and Mondays almost never happen? Any stock that showed up on Sunday was probably inventory that was released as it was never picked up from a reservation.
I am not sure anyone knows for certain as its probably more speculation than anything. If they have the product they will surely release it. Doesn't make sense to hold it for specific days.
If it was walk-in reservation, they should only hold it for certain amount of hours before releasing it back to stock availability rather than a few days or so. However that's different with apple online order that was paid for in-store pick up. Unfortunately they hold those for 14-21 days. Would be nice if it was shorter. lol
