Hey guys,

I'm upgrading from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 8 Plus. I decided not to pre order and walk into the AT&T store hoping to pick up a space gray IPhone 8 Plus 64gb.

We have 7 different AT&T stores in town. Does anyone know if I'd have better luck at a corporate carrier store? Do corporate typically have more stock vs the regular stores?

Thanks!
 
You'll probably have excellent luck at all of them, because it's still in stock as it is. Dud release from the company that's become a dud itself.

Depends. I personally feel it's better to buy at from a corporate opposed to a third party retail. There's no Apple store in your area?

Unfortunately no. Closest one is an hour or so away. We have a Simply Mac store. Thanks for the response

Usually the "authorized retailers" get fewer phones. That said, I think most are waiting for the X so you should be ok at either. If you're looking for a sure thing, I'd head to a corporate store
