Was looking for a space gray originally, got tired of waiting and got 32gb Gold (Sprint)in South Florida!
I checked on the site at 2pm, it definitely updates like mentioned before between 2 and 2:15p. I confirmed with one of the Apple workers that most systems update at that time.
Took in all 10 minutes to do a pickup
Good luck to everyone!

At least they restock each day with a lot of 16GB and occasionally some 32GB but almost never the allusive 64GB phones
does the in-store pickup option only show when stock is available during the hours the stores are actually opened?
Not that interesting. It was likely an online purchase which they have two weeks to pickup before it is auto returned
Christiana Mall in Delaware apparently has 16GB AT&T iPhones available for pickup in all colors, which is a surprise given its high demand in the tax-free state. Hopefully 32GB is next in stock for the weekend.
Why would you call the store?If it is available online from Apple or via the Apple app,order it for pick up.
I feel your pain!! Have been experiencing the same issue in purchasing a 64GB Gold AT&T in NJ...online apple store even let me purchase phone last Friday only for store to call me and inform me that glitch in the system misrepresented their availability
This was for AT&T stores, not apple...there's no way to find out online if AT&T stores have stock other than calling them....
You can check in-store availability by going to AT&T online and clicking 'check in-store availability' for up to the date inventory.
AT&T Wireless
Is this only in the iOS Apple Store app? On the Apple store webpage, I do not see a "more" tab that gives me these options.
The instructions mentioned earlier apply to the iOS Apple Store app. Sorry for the mix up.

That is even more frustrating.
to get the phone on order, just to be called back, and cancelled. Wish u all the best for today battle. lots of 16GB and 32GB AT&T Gold in northeast today but still no 64GB in my area...the battle continues...lol
Yet there aren't any space gray iPhones in any size, so frustrating. Maybe I could try reserving a 32GB gold and ask for a 32GB space gray in the Christiana Mall Apple store?
Or you could take the gold and exchange it for a grey when available.No grey in South Florida for 8 days.
Apple has become very strict with the returning of in store pick up items. If you cite your reason for return being wanting a different color, they may make you ship it to them, regardless of the fact that you picked it up in store.
Call ahead to be sure that is possible...my understanding is that their stock for in store purchase is separate from online purchase for in store pickup...once online purchase is made, store cannot make adjustments to it, only 1-800-MY-APPLE...at least that has been my experience
This was my experience as well. I had to ship my first 5S back even though it was an in store pick-up. But, I have heard of others here that were successful in returning to the store. So, YMMV.
