How does a pick up window work. On West Coast here. Only thing I have today is a haircut at noon. I'm worried that is going to be the window they assign me, or do you get to choose between a few different windows? Thanks all.

So many 256GB available for the XS Max!

I'm not surprised 512 is the most sold-out since it's the largest capacity, but 256 is nothing to sneeze at.

If they don’t have what you want online, go to the store anyway. I’m in line for a watch that showed as unavailable online, but they have it available for walk-in.

Yes, they’re in stock in the Twin cities too.

I’ll be the first to criticize Apple when they’re wrong, but it feels like the supply chain worked well and there was plenty of production for launch day. So in that respect I gotta give the folks credit, that’s quite an operation to get running smoothly.

Well I'm not buying one, but what the OP was saying appears to be true, at least in my part of Canada. It looks like all configurations of the new models, except the Xs Max in 512 GB capacity, are in stock at the 4 Apple stores closest to me.

This is the first iPhone I can remember where it’s hasn’t sold out initially or even had many people queuing to get it from the Apple Store in my local city. Apple even had a barrier set up and security and about 4 or 5 people turned up yesterday morning! Great if you want the phone though.

None in Orange County showing in stock online. My IUP preorder was pushed back to Monday, if I buy one this weekend can I cancel the iup one or just return the one I buy this weekend?

Ended up buying a space gray on the iUP and will be returning my silver that has rough edge issues anyway.

Glad to have all this availability

I think there are a few factors that lead to this. One is that there are generally more models to choose from. This year you have 3 new models. So not everyone just trying to get one single model. Which makes it easier to find the model you want, at Apple or another store. Obviously online sales make it easier to walk-in and get one. But price seems to make ppl shy away. A lot of ppl I talk to say they aren’t paying for a $1000 phone on principal. They don’t seem to find a way to justify the price.

Just got back from the regents street store, guys.

It’s insane. Whoever can claim they are not selling doesn’t know what they are talking about.

I had a defect on one of mine, won’t get a replacement until October 9.

Apple watches too completely sold out till October.

Depends on where you live. In my area, I checked this morning out of curiosity. And I found at the time at least, there was plenty of stock from Apple, Verizon, Best Buy etc. I was shocked. Now they may have sold out since. But that was unusual for me to see.

I think that the tech nerds on forums such as this are more likely to be buying the XS/Max. I believe the XR is going to show a bigger response on release day, with it's lower price point, when 'Joe Average' shows up to buy.

My local store had long lines outside all day yesterday, and again today. And tons of stock. I was really quite impressed. Yet also annoyed that my watch order still said October 5th. So I just bought it in-store and cancelled the pre-order.

Cardiff has no real reaction to it despite expectations. Good for those that want it though.
