Been trying since 10:05pm. Greyed out non working " Pick up: Visit an Apple Retail Store. Limited quantities may be available". Plenty of stores within 10 or so miles. Zip 19154 Phila PA.

Talking to a clueless Apple Rep ... He's saying that the reason why it is greyed out is because there are no stores in my area that have it available for pickup. Told him I live in NYC and he says that ... yea it means there are no iPhone 5's available for pickup in all of New York City :eek:

Vctr, according to the Apple Store app, Fifth Avenue and Upper West Side has at least the white 16GB in stock. Not sure what you're looking for, but try the App.

Ahhh, my competition :D

I'm getting the same thing...

Wo thats crazy. Did the Apple app always let you check the stock at the stores or did that just turn live about an hour ago?
 
So, I just did the same thing with the Apple Store app. The in store pick up option is still grayed out, but I am actually seeing it in stock at a "local" location (1 hr drive).

I'm curious if this is the real time stock, or if they are just holding out and waiting till right before the reservation system goes live to update it.

Are you sure you do not have other items on your cart (like an accessory)? If i have multiple things, it checks inventory and finds it in stock. If i remove the accessory and try again, it no longer finds it.
 
I just want to buy off contract full price phone? can i do it tonight thru site or app, or store is the best option?

Yep positive ... All I had was the iPhone 5 in my cart and I was able to check if it was in stock at certain stores. Not sure if this is a new thing or not, but I just discovered it.
 
Apple rep I talk to insists that it is indeed 10PM local time and told me I lost the window of opportunity.

Yes. Thanks. For me, all local stores say it is available on October 30th.
 
i give up .. dealing with apple is so frustrating

LOL, too true. Here, take my money, please! No, we don't want it, we have plenty!

Really. I can't believe I'm a 45 year old father of two sitting here irritated I can't order a phone for in store pick up tomorrow, LOL. Ah well, could be worse and I could be out drinking I guess! Wait, that's not a bad idea! :D
