easier to keep track @ istocknow.com or calling your local stores.
 
I was expecting one in December. But I checked the Apple Store app and they told me my local store had one. So I'd say check that too if you have an Apple store local to you.
 
I just picked one up about30 minutes ago at a local Walmart, they had both colors and capacity’s in stock.
 
There's certainly no stock of any color or config in the Atlanta, GA area. None in the AT&T stores around here either.
 
I managed to scoop one up on Friday - Bought the last one target had. Silver 256gb with ATT. No other stores within 100 miles had them, called just about every one that day lol
 
Funny how just because launch weekend had so much stock, people on here were convinced they would be readily available at all times, after noon on Saturday and Sunday stock has been very light everywhere
 
FYI I was a bit surprised by this but there seem to be many X's on Craigslist still in the box, for as little as $50 markup over what you pay in the store if you buy cash. I think many have bought to resell but did not consider that most people can't fork out $1100 cash for the phone as most are sold on installments now. So prices have been going down for cash purchases.

YMMV.
 
I'm looking at Walmart in Minneapolis and we have quite a few, I'm wondering if you had any defects with it? because you know, its Walmart... I bought a bike and it broke.
Nothing wrong with the one I got, worked great. I actually gave it to my son for his 8 Plus. The screen felt too narrow compared to the plus. Face ID worked great, the thing I didn’t like the most was how you close apps. I didn’t think he screen was all that great, didn’t give me the wow factor I was expecting.
