I've checked up and down the East Coast for 32GB White Verizon phones. The only place showing stock was the Palm Beach, Florida Apple Store.

Nothing anywhere within 300 miles of me.. not sure if it wasn't updated or if they aren't getting shipments in tomorrow.
 
nothing in NYC metro area, and even when i miss the NYC stores, upstate and NJ show availability...

My friend told me that they have it in the Rockville centre in Long Island. He even went there and got one. It's the Verizon version though

If you buy/reserve via the app & pickup in-store is that an online purchase or retail purchase?

The reason I ask is I don't want to deal with online for possible exchanges/returns.

No, no luck in SE Michigan, but then again, I wasn't expecting any. FedEx is how most Apple stores get their shipments, and they don't deliver on Sunday's, so unless the Apple store had leftovers from people who didn't pick up their Saturday night reservations on Sunday, there really wouldn't be anything. Planning to check on Monday night, and hoping there should be some stock for Tuesday.
 
The tip that worked for me was to refresh the screen for in stores constantly 5 min before 10p even. My 64 GB showed in stock at The Grove at 9:55 when I was able to reserve it.

Thank you to all those with tips on this thread, it helped a lot!
 
I think it's more likely that they're getting normal quantities and demand is just insanely high in LA. I've been trying all week and haven't seen anything in stock here.

I have seen Verizon 16gb and 32gb in both colors the last two nights in Southern California....

Don't know about tonight.

It's an online purchase. You complete you reservation online by paying it online.
When you return or do exchange it's the same as buying it in store.
Returning the item, the specialist would have to select "online return" on their iPod to complete the return. Otherwise they get an error and can't do the return.
You have 30 days to return or exchange it in store any iPhone you buy online.

Done it.
 
For Sprint, maybe. You haven't seen Verizon phones in stock.

I got a 16GB VZW white reserved last Monday at the Glendale Galleria, and there were plenty available all over the place.. From 10pm to 10:15pm... I even checked on Tuesday and there were more.. It's been fairly easy to be honest.. Monday's seems to be a good day to reserve since they get a bigger stock according to my apple Genius..
 
I've been trying to get one but they seem to always be unavailable in the NYC/NJ area. I gave up and just ordered with the 3-4 week waiting time.

Really? I checked 3 times and found them all in Paramus which is right next to you. It's far from me so I gave it up the second time but found it again Saturday at 10:16 and ordered it. Just keep checking... Paramus is one of the good ones I've seen.

It wouldn't matter either way b.c apple lets you do online returns in-store.

What?! I'll have to check again; I only see it available in Westchester and CT. I can only pick it up Saturday or Sunday because of work so I've only been checking Friday and Saturday nights. If I am able to reserve one in store, do you know if I can cancel my online order?
 
for LA area, i checked with valencia on sunday & pasadena & glendale galleria today and all of them had sprint phones available at the store, rest of them were all being reserved online. not sure how folks are getting these online because i'm not having any luck. yesterday the online reservation was already up at 9:45PM when i checked and i couldn't find anything. didn't expect the "reservations" to be live before 10pm, tonight i'm going to start checking at 9pm.

I wouldn't expect anything to show up last night, as the apple stores don't get shipments on Sundays from FedEx.

How did you know they updated the inventory at 9:45PM last night? Did they show some in stock at that time?
 
The Apple Store here told me they got nothing today when I called. Maybe they got shipments today and aren't selling them till tomorrow? The employee there told me they don't sell shipments the same day they get them, and since they don't get any on Sundays, it makes sense.
