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
Wow, thanks for all the replies. Sorry I didn't get the chance to edit my post.

I was meaning to say maybe I could reserve and purchase the 32GB gold for my sister while asking for a 32GB space gray in store for myself?
 
Yeah. Lots of 5s golds in NYC area. Im still debating inside my head if i would cancel may sept29 order online or cancel it and reserve online. But i dont know how long will it take to be eligible to upgrade again.. Some say it takes only 2 minutes. Some says hours or days. Its hard to decide! Hahaha :D:D:D

I did it yesterday. Cancelled my online order. At&T gave me my upgrade in 3 mins, tops. I didn't even call them!
 
When do they typically update the stock? If I remember it was like midnight the night before - or was it 10pm?

Damn - I don't remember.
 
i am in california and one early morning (1am) i checked apple.com for an iphone 5S availability. luckily there was one by my area. ordered it and just got myself a silver iphone 5S. at that time this is all the color that they have. i already got a gold one for my daughter so i wanted a different color.
 
Finally got it. Looks like Bridgeport got some boat load of Gold 16GB and 32GB AT&T. They are all green.

Anybody from here picking up at Bridgeport (Oregon)?
 
Ordered for pickup 32GB Gold 5s, but cancelled

My wife's 4S stopped working temporarily today, so to make sure she had a phone, I looked at Apple's website and found a gold 5s nearby for pick-up (Woodbridge, VA), and ordered it. Turns out, her 4S is still covered by Apple Care+, and they were able to resurrect it, so I ended up cancelling the order. Amazing that it was available at 5pm Eastern, so there's hope.
 
During the day?

I thought it was some time in the evening

Updated Twice for today. About 1-3pm and 5-7pm.
Probably stores updated as soon as they received the shipment from UPS???
Finally I ordered 16GB gold iPhones (att).
 
that would be awesome i placed my order earlier and planned on picking it up saturday i hope you're right :)

They will only hold it for 7 days. After that they will call you to ask if you're still Interested.

----------

A lot of gold att available in DC , md , va area again....

None here in San Francisco. Even nearby cities are out of stock since launch day.
 
Yeah, there's a ton in Northern VA at both Apple stores and AT&T stores. Ughhh, wish I had waited and saved $50...
 
Lots of gold, but still on the lookout for a 64GB AT&T...32GB have been in northeast stores all day and still sitting there

Hi,

First of all, I apologize in advance for my bad English, its not my primary lenaguage :eek:

I have a doubt: my brother will go to miami from today Friday (18) until Tuesday 29. I would be interested in purchasing an unlocked iPhone 5s 16gb (T-mobile), but apple page says no stock. The question is: I can buy it directly at the Apple retail store? I mean, there is no stock to buy online, or no stock in general?

Thanks!
