iPhone 5 Reservation at Apple Store

techiegirl said:
Is the only way to buy through the iPhone app and not online? I tried to check out online and it won't let me pick up from store. The app will only let me upgrade the current phone I'm on and not add a line.

No, you can now do both. I bought mine on my computer.
 
Is it just me or is the site still not working? I am a new customer so I can't make a reservation through the app

FWIW, it seems like some places have ample availability and others don't. I checked a few just out of curiosity. Nearly every store in Dallas, for instance, has nearly every model available, and the two biggest NYC stores (Fifth Ave. and SoHo) do as well, but there's practically nothing in the suburban tri-state area (NJ, CT, NY), nor is there much of anything in Texas outside of Dallas. Only the one most out-of-the-way store in Houston -- adjacent to a semi-sketchy area -- had anything, either. No idea why there wouldn't be any AT ALL in an area as large as the greater L.A. region.

None in the Bay Area or Sacramento either.
 
Sigh.. ended up having to spend $100 more to get the 64GB white Verizon model instead of the 32GB (not even the 16GB was available), but it's a lot better than driving to Dallas for the model I really wanted. Oh well.

And the sad thing is the most space I've ever really used on an iPhone is 16-20GB. What do people with 64GB phones use all that space for?

I know this sounds stupid, but can you tell me how to do it? I go to the retail store page but once I click the buy botton, it goes back to the regular online store page with 3-4 weeks shipping time
 
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW??

Since I got to the "We'll let you know when it's ready" email, does that mean I for sure got it? Also, do I have to get it tomorrow or can I get it on Wednesday? I'm just unsure of my work schedule....
 
Ppl in DMV area, check out Georgetown Apple Store... it has some available... except 16gb white at&t, which i picked up
 
My guess is shipments will rotate somewhat through the regions. Dallas today. Bay Area and LA tomorrow. Or so I can hope.
 
I got one!!!!!! Wanted to get the 16 but they had 32 so bit the bullet waiting for the confirmation email. Picking up at King of Prussia in PA. Now I get sleep. Hope everyone has luck too!!! Took a couple of times once I hit the pick up button, the secondary screen with the locations would disappear and when I hit KOP it kept bringing a different location.
 
I think it's working now, but it seems as though there aren't any AT&T models available in Southern California. Which is strange because I'm holding one of those white cards for a black AT&T phone from standing in line this morning. They said it would be good until 10pm tonight. I figured that since I hadn't picked it up it would at least show some sort of availability.

Also, you guys pay only $25 sales tax on a 64GB iPhone!!:confused:
In CA I'm looking at $70 at least in sales tax. (taxed on pre-subsidy price, I though all states did that)

You have a specific phone reserved. Simply go to the store at any point during their normal business hours and pick it up. Yes, it's that simple! (I did it once before with a previous iPhone) You must do it TOMORROW, however.

Just got two in NYC 64gb black at Grand Central and 32gb black at 5th Ave.

not really sure how you got it when I went on at 1:05am and only 32GB was available in the broadway store. REALLY limited quantity! Black model def seems to be more popular this time around.
 
Hey guys,

I'm new to this whole reservation thing. I was able to reserve a 16GB White AT&T iPhone 5. I have the black iPhone 4. Does anyone know if I will be able to trade it in when I go pick up my phone later on?

Looks like specific models are being distributed by region, no store within approx. 500 miles had a black AT&T 64GB. Surely it will alternate, meaning we should have luck tomorrow night!

I think this might be for tonight only.
