Just came back from Apple in Hillsdale Mall, San Mateo NorCal. All 5S sold out. Probably 10 waiting in line.
 
Got the GOLD!!!

Replaced 32GB Space Gray with 64GB Gold(AT&T) at Stonebriar Mall, Frisco TX. I was checking since last night and it was showing unavailable for pickup. One of my friend dropped in around lunch time and he got 64 GB Gold. He called me and I rushed to the store. Luckily, they had another 64GB Gold in stock (They had 16GB as well). Replaced my phone paid the difference.

So conclusion is that, I don't know if we can really trust online stock info. Once in a while, it may be worth to visit the store.

Yeah if you can get one of the online ones ordered for pickup then it is a definite but what they show online is not a definitive guide to their available stock for whatever reason.
 
Polite Request: when you post regarding a phone you ordered online/picked up/bought in store/returned, please include:
Carrier
Color
Capacity

Thank you - it helps the rest of us get a better feel for what is out there...
 
OK, here's the deal:

The online 'availability' pick up system is definitely working and working well. Just because you don't see it when YOU look doesn't mean that availability wasn't updated.

I'm seeing A LOT more iPhone 5S's available today in my area than I did last night.
 
Plenty of stock in NJ/NYC! Go get em!

Well for 16GB Space Gray and Silver for AT&T.

Just to clarify; I think you can certainly trust the online stock info, just don't assume that it represents ALL the stock in the store. From what we're seeing, it's apparent that some stock is probably allocated to those waiting on line and some allocated to online pickup orders.
 
Wow, lots and lots more stock!

I'm amazed. For the first time ever, I'm actually seeing more green fields than gray ones!

And they're updating it every minute. Just a few minutes ago there were literally twice as less available. I do the same identical zip code search each and every time for the same phone.
 
Gold AT&T available in:

Augusta, GA (64 GB)
NYC Fifth Avenue (64 GB)
Wayne, NJ (64 GB)
Murray, UT (64 GB)
Deer Park, IL (64 GB)
Greenville, SC
Charlotte, SC

I was able to snag a 16gb gold just now in roseville, CA. I have been checking every 30 mins here at work. Keep trying they do pop up.
 
that moment when you go to cancel the order and it has to be done over the phone and in the time it took you to almost get it done they sell out in stores so that now you can't pick it up down the street....
