(though some models are still nowhere to be seen...)For the record, iDeviceChecker.com was never accurate for me. It just opened my eyes to Target having stock move through and being an option for the wait list. Whenever I called they never had any stock in, and the website didn't either.
I am looking for a iphone 6 for my wife and when adding alerts I did one for an iphone 6 plus by accident. This morning, I got 5 alerts for that one being in stock. Is there a way to delete that specific alert
Thank you
BB would be awesome for those of us using EDGE! But I've been monitoring BB's website and it just says "Coming Soon!".....no way to check in-store availability.
I finally broke thru on the apple website yesterday and got an 16gb silver AT&T iPhone 6 plus for personal pickup without the store erroring out like it did for me the past 200 times I tried to reserve one. I used iStockNow and immediately tried to buy it as soon as my phone alerted me that the email came in.
I happily went to the store that was out of the way as the 3 closer stores had no stock. I brought it home and unboxed it and set it up as a new iPhone instead of restoring from backup. Then I immediately checked on the remaining storage to see what I had to work with and was shocked to only see 9.7 GB available. That is without even installing any apps or downloading anything.
I bought the phone as a secondary phone to compliment my iPhone 6 and to replace my iPad air. I wanted to use it for my trip this week to NY so I could watch movies. With only 9.7 GB i can't even fit 2 HD movies purchased through iTunes.
I am now waiting in line at another Apple Store that says it has stock in hopes to return the 6 plus for a 64gb or 128gb option instead.

If iStockNow can get BB on their site, that would be great! I couldn't go to the Apple Store for the same reason as you - wanted EDGE. I used idevicetracker, but also made calls just to verify the stores showing actually had stock. I also used idevicetracker again to help DH get his 6 and a co-worker find a 6+. It's not real time, but it's the only one I know of mentioned that looks at BB availability.
Last week their stock replenished Tuesday and Wednesday in my area. Not sure if that will repeat, but I am helping a friend look, so I am still monitoring. BB is no longer taking pre-orders in store for the 6+, FYI. It could mean that they are about to get enough stock in where it is no longer necessary (wishful thinking) OR they have too many pre-orders to fill at this point.
Still wishing everyone best of luck in getting their phones and congrats to those who have been able to get theirs regardless of the method used. Love how everyone is helping everyone here.
Well I finally got it! Thank you istocknow!!!
Was able to reserve the gold 128gb 6+ AT&T at Manhattan beach. Had to drive almost 2 hrs for it # gold was actually not my preference at all. But I was just tired of checking and waiting!
I actually wanted to do a shared upgrade but apple refused to do it while picking up. So as soon as I got the phone I went to an att store and they switched SIM cards.
The 6+ is massive!!! Especially since I'm upgrading from a 4s # but so far I think I like the feel of the phone.
Once again thanks istocknow and thanks to this forum. Hope all of u get ur phones soon. May the force be with you! #

Yes, If you have seen it for pickup the night before most likely they will have it for FCFS.
from what I can tell, they only put certain numbers of phones for pick up and then the rest are for walk-in customers.
Correct, it's a nightmare trying to do that, at least it was for me yesterday. I get there and the guys says...'sure we can switch you to next', so he proceeds to go through with the transaction of activating the 6+ that I had reserved with the 2yr discount. He then says let me take you over to someone that knows how to convert this to Next. The new Apple guy is frustrated because the first Apple guy had activated the phone, if he had not activated it we could have done the conversion with that phone. So the new guy has to go check to see if they have another 6+ 128GB/silver, which they miraculously do. So we return the first 6+ and that is done, we then proceed to purchase the 2nd 6+ on ATT next. Well ATT flags my account as they have to do a credit approval. They essentially did this so they can ensure that's it's actually me. So the Apple guy has to call ATT and go through a series of questions and then I have to go through a series of questions. The questions are so ridiculous...the first one was I had to know what my mortgage payment was, he gives me 4 multiple choice options, all right around what I "think" my mortgage payment is. For example, they asked if it fell into a range of $2200-$2250, or $2250-$2300, I wasn't sure, I knew it was right around $2250, so I had to guess. So there are 2 more questions like that...well after all that ATT finally says I am approved, so we proceed with the purchase on Next and the Apple guy finally gets to the screen where we can select the plans available and guess what the Next plan isn't there. So we both start laughing, I felt bad and told him not to worry about it, that I would just do it another day.
Went to my two local stores this morning. First one had zero 6+ and second one had a good amount but still not 64 for Verizon. They had 16 in Silver then 128 in Gray and Gold. I need a 64 and it looks like Apple made the fewest of them for some reason, shouldn't they know that people usually for the middle configuration? Getting a little impatient now.
6+ ATT in gold and silver at Apple stores in STL.
No Space Greys (64/128) in sight anywhere. It's like Apple said to heck with the standard color this time around.

Haha, of course! If it is a 128GB + they seem to have been popping up a lot since yesterday afternoon.
