My experience with in store pick ups is this: when I checked out I could designate an agent. By doing that either my agent (with their valid ID) or I (with my valid ID or my credit card I used on the transaction) could pick up the item at the Apple store.
I could be wrong on the iPhone. Please call Apple first to get the real info.
See condition 3 below.

I placed an order for a MacBook Pro in NYC and selected in store pickup in Texas. There is an option on the pick up page to designate another person for pickup. The person picking up has to show ID that matches the info entered.

If you are upgrading your line then either you or someone you authorize to make changes to your line must pick it up. You need to set up the authorized person with your carrier first. This is what I was told by the Apple specialist at the store when I picked up last week. The website also warns you about this when you check out, and in your Ready for Pickup email.

It WAS 10pm ET.Pay online and pick up.So maybe it will be 10pm local time for you also.I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow to be sure if it is the same as 5 release was.
Just to clarify, is this starting MONDAY night for a Tuesday pick up? Or TONIGHT for a Monday start date?
Has anyone ever bought an iPhone through in-store pick-up using there upgrade but asking the worker to buy as "device only" when picking it up?
Just out of curiosity, I asked (my upgrade was with AT&T) and they said it would be no problem albeit $450 more.
Yes, this x1000 ?
and then does the upgrade come back when you buy it full price?
I don't think anyone knows for sure, but last week I discovered it around 3AM Eastern Time last week, early Monday morning. According to the article on 9to5mac.com, personal pickup went live one week early due to a glitch.
I'm glad it did, as that's how I got my 16gb Space Gray... Glitches usually go against me.
Similar to my question,
I bought a Space Grey 5s from an Apple store and want to exchange it when they get golds in. But I want to reserve it online so I know I can walk in and they'll have it. Since I don't want a pending $750 charge on my bank account, should I just buy it online as if I'm adding a new line and when I go in there tell them to cancel that and just exchange the phone I have? Is that the easiest, cheapest way to guarantee it?
I don't think you can buy it online for full price, can you? Which option do you select?
You can buy it online for full price by selecting T-Mobile ($649, 749, 849). These are factory unlocked and can be used with any GSM provider.
When you hit checkout it'll check your upgrade, but since I don't have an upgrade available it just says:
"You qualify for the following iPhone pricing:
32GB : Gold
$749.00
No extension to your current contract commitment is required."
then you're able to checkout, I assume it works the same for in-store pickup.
Yes that's the only way, unless you walk into an Apple Store and tell them you want "device only"
I want to exchange silver for space grey. Can I reserve a space grey model online for in store pickup by paying full price on the recently upgraded line or use my other line that is eligible for an early upgrade and have Apple do exchange so everything is straight and back to the recently upgraded line?
Wait, so Apple.com won't let me pay for a full price phone for ATT online?
It gives me the option to "Replace a phone on my account with a new iPhone." and then shows me the full $749 price and allows me to continue through the checkout process.
