unreal ! lined up at 5:15am and I was 6th in line. Apple employees just came out and guess what ? NO T-Mobile 6 plus available. This is getting ridiculous.
What did they have?
Got a tip for us?

What did they have?
I've got two Asian guys that say they are getting them for themselves, another guy (European?), two elderly Asians, and three Middle Eastern guys.
My store got 3 phones. 1 ATT, 1 Verizon, 1 T-mobile. Guy in front of me wanted the Verizon one. I give up.
Security guy just told us that "They aren't doing lines anymore, it's a lottery system. So it doesn't matter where you sit, everyone will be taken care of."
He also said there was a bit of "jostling and scuffling" so they went to a lottery. He made it sound like you could show up at 9:00 AM and have the same chances.
I'm hoping that's a line to keep the natives happy and isn't true. Been here since 5:00 AM... =\

Security guard also told the crowd "The $900 phones are going for $1500 on eBay in China. You could make some money that way!"
Crazy.

I haven't had any luck either tracking down an iPhone 6 plus for t-mobile in NH. The day I walk in to the Apple Store "oh we're getting our shipment in tomorrow come back tomorrow." The next day I come in the employee tells me "oh we sold our stock yesterday sorry."
This is super frustrating to track down one of these argh.

Different security guard asked me why I wanted an iPhone 6 because "they're crap". "They bend and break. Did you see the video?"
Idiot.
Idiot.
Yosemite 10.10. You don't have to be sorry. I really appreciate you helping out people over here.

Thanks. Which location?
How do I use these scripts everyone is talking about? Bear in mind I'm completely computer illiterate. Anyone wanna help? Please PM me or something. Thanks guys!!
No luck. I got to the store at 6:45. I was first in line. Store opens at 10, and Apple employee came out at 9 o'clock to take reservations. I wanted a Verizon 6+ space gray with 64 or 128 GB. They only had 1 6+ Verizon in stock and it was 128 GB gold.
Just so everyone knows, our Apple store had LOTS of iPhone 6+ yesterday around 2 PM. They asked us which color (verizon) how many GB, etc.
We were offered two iPhone 6+ for Verizon @ 64GB.
They also had a lot for AT&T, as well.
Surprisingly, there was no line! ******Also, it showed up online as that particular store having NONE in stock. They can manipulate the system, apparently. So even if your store says they don't have any, it might be worth checking out.******
----------
As far as I know, it's only pre-orders. We actually had to do this yesterday since the apple store doesn't do Verizon Edge (for new accounts), even though they had the phones we wanted. Boo.

That's exactly what most do.

Best Buys are definitely selling to walk ins. They offered me a 6+ on Thursday night but it was gold so I passed.
Crap, so we preordered last night, but they hold some for stock that they get in? And we still have to wait?
128gb Verizon. They had some ATT and Sprint as well but I didn't ask which models.
No idea how their pre-order situation works, but they definitely offered me a pick of whatever they had in stock.
Stocks are moving, cnotes !!!!
----------
LOTS of stock showing up.

Damn it.
I had one in my cart for Woodfield, and got to the very end just for it to be gone when I tried to complete the order.
Damn. It.
Also, iStockNow, my janky iPhone app caught it before the alert from your service. I never even got an alert from your service, in fact. You might want to dig a little deeper into the speed and reliability of those.
EDIT: Correction, I just got the alert. Just about 10 minutes too late to be useful.

We're doing random checks from the alerts, everything seems ok, but some phones seem to go away in a few seconds... especially in SF area.

Can you tell me the alert ID. (first number on the line #XXX)
