It's funny how they have little to no stock for the U.S. but have it for other countries.

I hope your ready Canada for a nightmare lol

Little to no? They sold out for preorder reservations. Let's not act like it's Mad Max around here and they have the water. As an aside if you had joined the upgrade program last year you might have had a better shot as this week's make-good from them seems to have eaten up a lot of the stock.
 
Just did a reserve & pickup for 256GB 7P in Black from Burnaby Metrotown, so something has changed (your list shows this store as not having any). They also had the 7P in other colors as well, except Jet Black.

Will see what happens when I get there.

Blaming the consumer just never ends with the Cult of Apple.

Funny how last week everyone in the IUP was outraged and just wanted the "same opportunity" as everyone else. Now they're touting we should've joined the IUP. Pot meet kettle.

Me too! I actually went on last night to check at 12:01am by trying a regular checkout process but no in store pickup. I didn't realize there was separate reserve and pickup in store option. Gonna try in 5 minutes hopefully the 8am story was true.

Looks like the 8 AM thing was false.

I'm too upset with apple. First I woke up sept 9th 2 am for nothing then sep 16th made lines for nothing, then since last night I'm trying reservation ...12am nothing, 8 am nothing. I also tried 10am since Apple Storea opens at 10 and still nothing. Since they hired this new girl as Apple Store president(forgot her name) everything is a mess! I just want the iPhone plus they advertised!!

I am more upset at the fact that I was ready to do reservation at Midnight but the Apple Store associate said 8am, so I went to sleep early. Planned my Saturday morning chores and errands around the 8am reservation.

Oh well...
 
So they said the system for in store pickup would go live at 8 AM today and it looks like what actually happened inthe West Coast was it went live at 6 AM so I got sold out of my Apple Watch again. Ughhhh. I don't even want the damn phone, it should be easier!

Yeah, nothing beats bad customer experience as a marketing tool. :rolleyes:

Ask anyone who has owned a BMW and had VANOS issues. Eventually all large companies either stop caring or have enough loyal demand that customer experience doesn't matter quite as much.

For the people that were able to reserve in Canada...did it end up being 12 your local time? I've heard it's local and I've heard it's pacific. And this is from apple customer service so they didn't even really know.
 
I woke up at 5:30am Eastern and happened to see a notification from Macrumors about this article. So I went to the website, clicked the banner at the top after you click "Buy" that said "Reserve iPhone 7 with a carrier plan. Reserve today". This is 100% separate from the add to shopping bag process. It's also confusing because I was able to use it to get a completely unlocked phone, with no carrier plan.

I wanted a Silver 128GB 7 Plus. There's two stores close to me, Mississauga Square One and Burlington Mapleview. Square One had sold out of Silver, but Burlington had it available. Set up a reservation at 10am with my Apple ID, they emailed me a notification with QR barcode that I could add to my Apple Wallet.

I get to the Apple Store in Burlington at 10am. There's a few other people who had made reservations for around that time, and they simply had us wait until someone was ready to come and get us. Apple Store employee scanned the QR barcode, another employee brought an unlocked device from the back and completed the sale. 10 minutes in and out.

While I was there a few people were complaining that yesterday the store had been telling people to check the reservation system at 8am, and by that time many stores were out of stock. The website itself has the words "If you can’t find the model you want below, choose another store to find the model you’re looking for. Or you can check back beginning at 8:00 a.m." I suspect that the very first day they just started early, but it's likely at 8:00 am every day that they will refresh the stock levels in the website.

I am curious however if that means they are rationing supply so that there's always a number of iPhones available every single day to maintain traffic to their stores?

No iPhone 7 plus to sell on launch day but it magically shows up next day? Smell fishy.

They sold plenty of the 7 Plus on launch day, but they were all reserved at 3am last Friday the 9th. And now day to day shipments will be available for reservation as well. It's a nice system, really removes the need to have to line up in person.

I had see the 8am time mentioned several times, but knowing how crazy the demand is I started checking early when I was up. Managed to grab a few to reserve at 6am. I was at Mapleview too - around 11am though.

In the GTA, Mapleview seemed to be the one that's stock depleted the slowest.

I believe it. When I checked around 6ish there was plenty of the Plus available in every colour but Jet Black and Silver.

And when I was there at 11, some people showed up just to ask if there was plus available and the Apple employee said no, but there's every colour of the 7 (minus the Jet Black). Amazing how many more are buying the Plus.
 
So I get to Metrotown Burnaby, show my reservation e-mail, and they don't have it in stock. Not sure why they'd allow you to reserve and not have the device.

Back to waiting for my online order.:mad:
 
Reserved an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB (would have preferred 128GB) in Markham at 1:40 pm, and picked it up just now at 3:30 pm. Had to drive from Mississauga we apple folk are kinda nuts

Which model does Apple sell in Canada as "SIM-free?" CDMA/GSM or GSM?
Click to expand...

There no longer are any CDMA networks in Canada, only the GSM model is sold here.

The reservation was online at 2:30-3AM-ish eastern time. I'm not exactly sure what time it was.
