iPhone 5 Reservation at Apple Store

[VandyChem2009]

I got a 32 and a 16 on Friday on at the Galleria and one at Baybrook. You have to have it saved and add it to your cart a minute or 2 before 10.

Is that 10 central time or 10 eastern time?

Couldn't find anything in Virginia or Massachusetts. Sheesh

I have seen the in stock in NYC a few times, but nothing in philly. I refuse to drive 2 hrs to pick up a phone, silly.

The answer is no for most people. But some have said that Apple has sold them some full price iPhones obtained through the reservation system. Most have failed. At least I did.

I had no problems with an unsubsidized purchase online. Entered my phone number and other details in the upgrade eligibility process, system said, "sorry, you're not eligible for an upgrade, you can buy at full retail" added phone to my cart, located one in a store at 10pm, got the email at 7am, showed up at 11am, out the door at 11:15. Not a single hitch.

As stated not a damn thing in atl. I'm more pissed then my wife and the phone us for her.

Another bust in the DC/MD/VA area. I located one, clicked check out with express checkout, and the Apple site went wild, making me log in again. Arrrrghhhhh!

Which store had them in stock for half a second?

Looks like there's no more since yesterday until the next big shipments?

 

[pinkoos]

I haven't seen crap in the Houston area since the reservation system started.

Yup. Me too.

And when the F is that supposed to be?

 

[Millionin20s]

Just like that, my decision to cancel the order I placed last week backfires. Heh.

I got one last night in Towson, MD but it didn't show up as "In Stock" until about 10 or 15 minutes late, dont't give up!

Central- I had 4 upgrade available so I would save 1 of each phone, took 2 nights but finally got 2 white.

 

[jealousguy86]

i randomly looked at the EC and saw there were some 32 black verizons available at the 5th ave. store in NYC. checked a half minute later or so, gone.

Smart. I only have 1 so it might take me 8 nights. Oh well.

 

[apierrec]

There were White ATT 16GB in 3 locations in NYC and NJ. THey were gone within 2 minutes. Still nothing NOTHING EVER in the Lehigh Valley store that has no other store near it within an hour drive. WTF???????????

Wait ... Very few and way too many people trying to get these.

Fair Oaks for about 20 sec. Guess I'll just wait out the month for my Best Buy pre-order, which is a bigger joke than this reservation system IMHO.

 

[VandyChem2009]

Every time I walk into an apple store and I see about 16 iphone 5's just sitting there on display I shed a tear. If only they would just box one of those up I'd take it.

No stock anywhere near Rochester, NY...not Buffalo, NJ or Connecticut. Love Apple's ability to anticipate demand.

anybody else just thinking about ordering it through apple and waiting the 3-4 weeks? This reservation system is getting annoying.

I'm not patient enough to wait the 3-4 weeks. I'm pretty sure that by the time the 3-4 weeks rolls around the stock in the store would have gotten good enough to supply the demand.

No. I'll just buy a 4 instead LOL

 

[SpyderBite]

Why not just wait a couple weeks and then just buy at your convenience?

Guess I just don't understand all the frustration. I suppose the impatient folks who sold their only phones weeks ago might be in a bind. But that's a calculated risk they chose to take and have no reason to complain.

My thoughts exactly...but with our luck it'll get worse there still won't be any available and the shipping time will go to 5-6 weeks

Waiting is no fun :-(. But really, I wonder if anytime this week they will get them? I would love to give myself this as a birthday gift. Its actaully getting depressing.
