iPhone 5 Reservation at Apple Store

So before 1am, they had nothing for you when you checked?... then a bit after 1am it changed to "In Stock"? to let you order.

The guy in the store told me today stock only goes down after 10pm. I take it with a grain of salt for sure, looks like more people got it at 1am Eastern time for stores in the East Coast then the alloted 10pm time.

Yeah, I checked at 10pm est, and nothing, but thought maybe they update at 10pm Pacific, so I waited and a little past 1 am EST time the inventory showed in stock for the Boston store.

I'm supposed to wait a MONTH? Screw Apple. I wish I liked other phones.. I wish I liked the S3, but I don't. This is bull.

Yeah, if I have to wait a month, I'm going to start getting awfully tempted by the Nokia 920 or the new HTC Windows phones. Those look pretty nice, and I bet I can really buy one!

And the fastest way to order is just place the items in your cart, pick up, and keep clicking locate?

I had it in my cart with "pick up" selected and kept hitting checkout. It won't let you checkout if there isn't availability. You can check other stores from there, thats what I did and saw that a store about 20 mins from work had one, so I picked that one up.
 
This is ridiculous. I don't understand how the supply for these phones is so low...Maybe they just haven't updated the inventory online yet?

That's what I am thinking. I have three phones in my cart and am just refreshing the location.
 
Is there a way to check on different models when applying for new service? I either want a 32 or 64 black VZW but am not a current subscriber. So when I check local 32 stock, for example, nothing. But to check 64, it seems like I have to go through the same app process all over again? Would be much simpler if we could just check stock or am I Missing something?????

We definitely saw some stores have availability at 10pm est. So the ones that showed up as unavailable earlier might have some stocks at 1am est, right?

Last night I saw something at mall at millenia in orlando at 10est but nothing tonight at 10 est. Hmmm... LOL.

Anybody having any luck in the Chicago area? I'm looking for a black AT&T 64.

They had every model available last night in the michigan ave and lincoln park stores. It looks like the system hasn't update yet because i just checked for every model and they're all "unavailable for pickup". I even checked in other cities just to see if it was actually out of stock in chcago and they all show the same. So fingers crossed for the system to update its stock soon
 
Are you getting what you really want, exact model, color, carrier and closest store? Or you buying whatever and wherever? :D
