Is it possible to pre-order in store?

As above best on the web, but you can do it in person and via phone (but who would want to).
I'm positive you can preorder in the store. I'm not positive, but I think you can put money down towards the phone when you preorder if you'd like, so that would be a "benefit?" of doing it in the store. You can't put any money down if you preorder it online.
So basically he was put on a pre-pre-order list? Since there is no pre-order list yet, he was put on another list of people to be added to the pre-order list when available?
I put my name on my own pre-pre-order list too. I guess I've got connections too.
Here's an idea.
1. Go into the Apple store
2. Sit down at one of the display computers. iMac, MacBook, etc. - doesn't matter.
3. Start a Safari session.
4. Go to the Apple site, or ATT site
5. Pre-order
I'm going to pre-order in an AT&T store and have it shipped to my house. The only reason is that I'm using another line's upgrade eligibility and I want to make sure that will be handled OK and that I don't lose my unlimited data plan on my line.
Plus, Apple had issues last year with Family Shared Messaging plans, and ours is a Premier account, so that's a lot of reasons to just let AT&T handle it.

Go in store now, buy an Apple gift card with cash. Use the gift card online June 15th to pay for your pre-order. Have your pre-order shipped to you.
