I’m referring to this:

https://reserve-prime.apple.com/US/en_US/reserve/iPhoneX/availability

Essentially in the past you use this link to reserve iPhones for next day pickup at Apple stores. They reserve daily stock strictly for next day pickups from those who reserve using this link.

Any ideas when they usually go live?
I don't think they are opening up that for the US this time... At least not as yet

I just placed an order for pickup in the US today. Cancelled my pre-order from T-Mobile. Seems like there is plenty of stock.

Not in U.S. You can only check via apple.com and see if they have one in stock then you pay and reserve. I believe Apple clearly stated that they aren't doing a Reservation system for the U.S (Meaning Reserve first then pay at store).

You certainly can check istocknow.com or apple.com and if it still shows "Pick Up: Today" you certainly could walk in to the store and get one.
