RESERVE online PICKUP IN Apple STORE currently live and working

agustinmsosa said:
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!

Depends on color you are looking for and store's shipment for that day. Unlocked phones seem some of the hardest to get from what others have posted.

But they don't post in store purchase supply online, so if your brother goes to the store he must get there early or call them...at least he'll have a few days to try :) Good luck!!

He doesn't need the "unlocked version". He can grab att, verizon, or tmobile at full price from the apple store and it will be unlocked. Verizon is the best case scenario since it also has a CDMA antenna which can potentially help resell value and doesn't require you to plug it into iTunes to unlock...just pop in the sim
 
I got two. 4 me n wifey. Went home n saw that they r back in stock (Bridgeport n Pioneer). Called few buddy of mine who r looking for 16 Gold. They got 1 @ Bridgeport n 1 @ Pioneer around 6:30pm. Looks like blink blink r everywhere tonight.

Loved the Goldie treats today. ;)

Welcome to my world. It happened for 4 days straight for me. So just order online, gold ones seem to be in more supply anyway and t mobile/unlocked phones are in the lowest supplies it seems

Just keep trying, around 1am EST is when they seem to start updating stock info and it would be wise to have your Apple account already setup with your billing info. I took me about 3 nights of checking before I was able to snag one.

I secured mine at a 6pm on a Friday, there were a ton. Looked like way more than the 2pm restock

That's what I'm hoping on. I have a buyer on the way to buy my unlocked iPhone 5 so I'm going to be without a cell phone.

I'm hoping there will be a big stock update at 6pm and I can get an order in fast enough to pick up one tonight.
 
After weeks of searching I finally got a gold Verizon through in store pickup. Just got my order is ready for pickup email. :D
 
I reserved a 32GB AT&T gold last night for today at Christiana Mall, DE thinking all Apple Stores around Philadelphia would lock out all gold AT&T iPhones for pickup on weekends. As I had thought, no gold AT&T iPhones are up for pickup as of right now.

I also need a 32GB space gray AT&T iPhone. Hopefully I can get it walking in. AT&T store, despite the 2 week return policy, would be my alternate since they have lots of space grays.
 
God there is a 64gb gold available for at least the last hour...I don't know whether or not to trust the apple site or not.. I would have to cancel my online order that is due to ship the 24th-28th

looks like the only AT&T iPhone 5S available in NY is the 32GB Slate.. good thing that's the exact one I wanted... picking up as we speak @ Grand Central

It's not really a reservation system, because you're actually paying for it. You just have to pick it up. SO I would assume they have to hold it for you indefinitely (within reason) since it's already paid for. Much better than last years reservation system in my opinion.

Same here... Grabbed myself a Space Gray 32GB at&t 5s on Wed night. Zero issues at all with the Space Gray. I actually was originally getting a 32GB silver and made the rep grab me a Space Gray at the last min... Very happy with it.

BestBuy overcharges for non-upgrade, and I believe Target doesn't even offer non-upgrade purchases. Was going to check Walmart when I had a chance.

BestBuy can price match Apple.com which will remove their 50 dollar premium for device only purchases. The problem with them is that you have to link the purchase with a carrier account. So to buy the Verizon version you have to have an account with Verizon. This was not the case with the iPhone 5.
 
I just got AT&T gold phone with in store pickup. I don't want to use my partial upgrade. Do I just tell the sales to change it to device only? What are the steps? Thanks
 
HOLY CRAP..

Just cancled my odrer i was waiting for since the 25th since i saw a HUGE LOT deliver to pretty much every store in the area..

I cancel my order and try 4 times to order for instore pickup, kept giving me the error saying I still had an order!!!

Got on the chat and was flipping out on the rep, eventually just closed it out lol. Finally my order went through. Waiting on confirmation now to pickup

My order wouldn't go through. First screen shows stock available but when I add to cart the next screen says unavailable for pickup. But when I go back and search the prior screen it still shows stock for pickup.
