I'm currently working on a discord bot that can check for Studio Display Stock in Apple Stores. Does anyone know of an Apple Store that has any of the models in stock so I can test if it works? As of now I can't find any that have any of the models (I'm manually adding stores as I don't know how to get info from every single one of them.). It works if I switch it to run on MacBook Pros but I'd like to just make sure.

Edit: Found a Nano Texture Tilt in Philadelphia. It works.
Awesome. Please let us know how we can utilize this. Thanks much!
 
FWIW, for folks going the Best Buy route, their Totaltech program gives you free AppleCare+ and 60 day returns

I'm definitely missing several Apple Stores (such as basically the entire west coast right now) so anyone who joins please tell me where I'm missing so I can add them. There is a channel within that lists every store the bot currently checks. It does it on a 15 minute interval.

Tried a BB today in Des Moines and the dude looked in the terminal and said they were out of stock. Sounds like Monday we will know.
 
Nano Texture Tilt/Height Stand (most expensive model) are popping up in the Washington, DC/Philadelphia/NYC area in apple stores.
Waiting for a NY Long Island store to get stock..
I have an order With Apple from Day One but ETA was pushed back once and now ETA is this week but not thinking I will get it from them this week and will get pushed back again.
 
I went to BB this weekend and asked Customer Service if they could order a standard + tilt&height adjustment option, he was at a 'console' but then walked over to a PC, so I'm not 100% sure if he was just looking at the website.
Basically, he said they didn't stock it at all and weren't able to order it . . .

I got a simular response. I actually called a Best Buy that is in Gaithersburg for the VESA mount last Wednesday and they said that they don’t have it in stock since it’s listed as coming soon in their inventory. Was worth a try, but I guess I have to wait a bit longer.
 
Also, further supporting the "nano texture and tilt/height are the next style showing up in Apple stores" theory, there is now one popping up in Roseville, CA (only 600 miles away!) so I expect some will trickle up in Seattle too.
Fingers crossed that the Standard/tilt/height wave comes next before my Apple delivery date.
 
My bot has been scanning nation wide inventory of Apple Stores every 30 minutes for about 16 hours now, and exactly one time* has Standard Glass -- Tilt Stand has been in stock, the rest have been Nano Texture Glass -- Tilt & Height Stand. No other models have been in stock during that period. Of course, inventory won't change much over night so this information isn't conclusive yet.

*I cannot get exact stocking numbers, just if the store has some or has none. It's possible that store got 2 at the same time or whatever.
 
I have both the VESA and the Tilt Height adjustable on order for mid May, trying to figure which to keep and to sell to return the extra display?

Would having a display in portrait mode ever be a benefit to you? I'd probably make my choice based on that. A VESA arm will probably be a bit of a worse experience for just height adjustment (as people say the mechanism on the apple stand is very well balanced), but if rotation would be useful VESA is a no brainer.

Does stock that can be shipped instead of picked up at a store ever pop up? Or are we stuck to the listed delivery dates on those?

If that occurs I am unaware of it. It seemed like every store gave the same shipping quote (so, early July for most models) if they didn't have any in stock, but if I am incorrect someone please correct me.
 
48 hours of nationwide scanning.

Sparse Normal/Tilt
Sparse Nano/Tilt
Occasional Nano/Tilt+Height, with a handful of select major stores holding stock consistently the entire time.

Zero of any other model.

Zach, you the man for coming up with the discord ability to notify us all. We should have the upper hand when stock arises!
