Something to think about. If Apple somehow doesn't have the phone you want, you will get it tomorrow or the next day with the amount of stock they are getting in. Still faster than the pre order. I cancelled mine in fear of it switching to PFS before I get there! Plus, Apple will do you a solid and give you a gift card for your troubles if anything should happen.

Good point! My main concern is being able to stick with AT&T Next - I don't want IUP.

ETA: Do we still have the same 14 days to send in our old phone?
 
Just reserved two matte black 128gb plus models and a smaller 7 128gb rose gold for pickup today!

Well I'm at the Apple Store and I was able to reserve something. Hopefully I can get a phone but if I'm already at PFS maybe they won't let me? Either way I'm giving it a shot because I really don't want to use my broken phone any longer

You have the option to go through carrier programs. I just called AT&T and my upgrade eligibility went through almost instantly after I cancelled.

Boom!!!! Going to get mine in about an hour! F you pre order!
 
I wanna hear someones experience trying to pick up their RESERVED iphone today while their apple.com order was in FPS on AT&T next program. Hopefully I hear some good news before I head out to my local store at 2pm for my reservation. If not, at least someone else will be a happy owner of that phone.

Please share what happens, thanks!
 
That's how I feel lol I can go get a matte black where I live but for one my order is already PFS and two I don't want matte black I want my JB. If I wanted matte I would've preordered that to begin with lol so waiting is what I'll continue to do lol

I'd reserve and cancel my order if I could get the phone that I ordered (MB, Plus, 256GB), but it's not available. I'd rather wait a few weeks and get exactly what I want.

Yeah! I'm worried that this reservation is only for EXISTING IUP members and I'm not one of those so it might not work out for me because of that. I'm still gonna wait and see
 
How are you guys checking to see if your Apple Store has it? Im trying but it just says that I already have an existing order and can't do anything without first receiving it.

I believe you're fine getting the phone without IUP, the site says so.

Also want to hear.. I just reserved a phone, but on the reserve page, there is only mention of IUP. I am on AT&T Next and will have to process the upgrade through this program.

And so far, I've not heard of any in-store reservations avail for 7+ JBs so we'll still be some of first! :)

Those in PFS, it's only going to be a matter of a day or two in all likelihood. Those with end of Sept received their PFS a few days ago and now tracking. So factoring in weekend, Monday or Tuesday, we should have tracking.

If you are processing, try in store and cancel. If you are in PFS, the hassle could land you two phones.

Personally I'm happy just waiting the few days.
 
So I just reserved a 7 Plus for 1:30 ET at my local Apple store and pretty much right after that my pre-order went to preparing for shipment. We'll see how this works out...

My online order was still processing when I cancelled it. A few minutes later I saw my AT&T upgrade eligibility reset on it's own. I did chat with a rep and they verified it was correct.
 
This is kind of creepy and hilarious, So my order number is the same as this guy who ordered an apple watch minus the last two digits, it's bound for Santa Monica, CA. I live in PA. The reference numbers show his number, when searching facebook with his number, it shows his account and that he lives in LA, haha. So this is DEFINITELY NOT my device.
 
It's not rational that anyone can reserve one and go get it but those who stayed up or got up to reserve didn't get theirs first or even a shipment notification. My local store has reservation as early as 45 min from now for the model I preordered.
