Hey guys,
I got tired of going to the apple website, or messing with the apple store app every time I wanted to check stock availability. So I made an app that makes it super easy. Just pick the specs you're looking for, type in your zip code and hit search. This is hitting the exact same URL and getting the same response as if you went to store.apple.com and checked in-store availability there - it's just way easier and faster (and saves the specs/zip you last searched for).

One big caveat... You need a developer license and a mac to run it on your device (or you could just use it in the simulator, I supposed...).

And one little caveat... It's very bare-bones UI-wise - I was going for function over form here. :)

I don't have a way to distribute it outside the app store without adding everyone's device to my account, which obviously I don't want to do. ;)

Anyway, I had just made this for my own use but figured I'd share for any iOS devs out there also looking for an in-stock 6/6+. :)
