Will appear if 2 or + filters are enabled (otherwise that makes too much data)

And we couldn't find any Tmobile @BB do you confirm ?

Two or more filters? I have no clue what you're referring to. It only allows me to put in my zip code...and then my email. :/
 
Thanks, did you get some yellow markers ?

Best Buy are only displayed in if stock. Look at the whole map, maybe the is nothing available in the area you're looking at.

Oh, yeah. Okay, I see the BB filter (in yellow) now, but as far as the entire US, I see no yellow markers on the map anywhere.
 
They hardly have any 6 Plus, so if you're looking at them...

Go to the MAP
Click iPhone 6
Click ATT

Don't you see this ?

When I do a search, I don't have ANY restrictions on it. So, it searches the ENTIRE US - looking for both 6 and 6+ - in all states, all carriers, all GB options. On my end, no, I see no yellow at all on the entire map.
 
You need to apply some filters in the black bar at least 2.

BB has too much data to display all models / stores, your compouter would slow down etc... (We tried it)

We have something like 250/300 Apple Stores shown, and BB has come up with a 2k shops list (and that's just shops with something in stock).

We could see and had clusters later or offer "regional" full data.

Was that any help ? Do you sitll think you have a bug ?


Whoops! Yup, that worked. Sorry!
 
That makes no sense at all. So if you walk into the store now and want to do Next for a phone they will say sorry. Can't do it. Or do you just mean if you place an order for in store pick up with a 2 year contract and then try to switch it they will say no?

You cannot reserve online for store pu at 2 year, then arrive and switch to next. They are now cracking down on it.

Here is what happens. You "return" you reservation with the two-year contract. But your "return" doesn't clear the AT&T services immediately, therefore marking you ineligible for the Next upgrade until it does clear. AT&T has caught on and is not resetting eligibility for (some say) 24 hours.
 
Done!!!


Found one at a local store FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sweating that my online order would change to ship at the same time but I got the email that I was ready for pickup in just a few minutes!!!! I cancelled the online order and I am good to go for pickup.

Thank you to the great folks at iStockNow!!! You guys are awesome!

I plan to pick it up tomorrow. I am hoping I can use my NEXT tomorrow (although I see I may likely not be able to). Otherwise I will just purchase it as "device only" and call it a day (I confirmed with this Apple store that they would return it and resell it this way".

Can anyone verify exactly how many days I have for pickup?
 
Does anyone know if I can purchase a ATT/Verizon/Sprint iphone at full price at the retail stores?
Obviously i'd have to get there early and do the lines, but will they sell them unlocked at full price? not just tmobile?
 
If there is anyone still looking for a 6+ unlocked in Michigan I can sell you mine for the price I bought it. Barely used. I guess this is just for desperate people, I figured I'd post here a day ahead of me returning it. So if someone wants it that bad for $900 (unlocked space gray 64gb) pm me I guess. I will be returning in two days if no one wants it.
 
West Towne Mall in Madison has a 64GB silver iphone 6 plus for pickup for Verizon. Not my color but if it helps anyone. Still on the lookout for grey.

EDIT: And a 128GB gold. If only it was 64.. Would of nabbed it.

EDIT2: And a grey 16gb, all plus btw. Lol.

It was the Domain. They said they just don't know and every day is a crapshoot. They also said that you have just as good of a chance hanging around the store all day and periodically coming in to ask what is available. Just as inventory updates online for pre-order, it updates throughout the day for walk-in.

Store opens at 10. I've been getting there about 9 and only 1-2 people are there. BUT there is a group of devout Muslims that is there every morning, and when the line starts, the whole family empties out of the car into the spot in line that's been held by the single family member who was "holding their spot" They all buy two each of whatever is there. Monday I got there at 9 and was just behind them and they snatched up all the remaining gold 128s (6, not 6 plus). Today I got there at 9:10 and they were (just) behind me. When the line forms and they are waiting, they all pull out their 6s and 6plusses to kill the time while they wait. I hope they get stiffed on eBay or wherever they are flipping these things.

If I get blanked tomorrow, I guess I'll see you there Thursday.

Oh man. I don't usually post on these forums, but I am a long-time reader of this thread. I live in Austin too and the muslim people you described sound like the EXACT SAME people I came across with last weekend.

Last Saturday I went to the Barton Creek store because my little sister's birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to get her the 6+. I have been saving for months working and saving up paychecks to make this possible.

I got to the store Saturday around 8:30. That family is front of us. We were second in line. At around 9:30 when the employee started taking reservations the lady who looked oldest took 2 and let another lady who appeared to be her sister take 2 as well. She leader also wanted to have her son be able to purchase some too but the employee didn't let him as he was underage. When the employee got to me they had already purchased all the 6+ models (except sprint) they had in stock, including the tmobile one I wanted. Later I found out they had purchased 5 6+'s (!!!). I got upset and went to speak to the manager to complain. She told me that sometimes people get unlucky and things like that happen but that was getting out of hand. As soon as I finished talking with her the family gets back in line to purchase more phones (!!!).

I really think apple should enforce the 2-phones-per-visit policy. It really makes it unfair for me and the rest of people in line who are there to purchase a phone with a legitimate reason. Now unfortunately my little sister won't have her 6+ for her birthday on time because of scalpers like these.

I do too hope they get scammed on ebay.
 
Hoping I can get a SG 64/128 Vzw 6+ tomorrow, going to head to the U village store for opening and give it a go as I can't order one outright on the web
 
Is anyone 100% sure that the online pick up stock checker does not accurate represent the actual inventory at the store?

I ask because Im planning on visiting two apple stores at around 1045am tomorrow. Both stores via istock had the 64gb sg 6 in stock but three hours later both stores sold out.

Im trying to figure out if its worth making the trip. If it shows sold out on the istock site I would assume the actual inventory is sold out too right? I mean I thought they only put up the personal pick up stock when they have a surplus.

Unfortunately i think if they are sold out, they won't be getting any sg's in tomorrow. It seemed that today, all the stores around me received the 64gb sg 6. All stores showed unavailable by the time I got off work though.
 
Finally picked up a 128 GB space gray 6+ on Verizon today via personal pick up at Apple Store. Wanted a 64 GB but I suppose it is nice to have plenty of extra space. Happy the wait it is finally over. This thing is nice.
 
I wish there was a way to disable display of best buy stores on istocknow... best buy inventory is inaccurate as heck, and it seems to be showing stock at stores I've checked (that didn't have any).
 
Is anyone 100% sure that the online pick up stock checker does not accurate represent the actual inventory at the store?

I bought a 16gb AT&T version in the Apple Store and it was listed as not in stock on the website. It is well known they hold stock separate for walk-ins.
 
I had a long talk on the phone with someone that sounded super knowledgeable and confident.

Was told the Apple store online availability area reflects phones that are coming in. Not necessarily in the store (unless the truck came).

And in my experience today, he was correct. Apple showed available at my store. I called and they didn't have any which was when I was told it meant 'coming today' and said perhaps by the time I get there, they'll be in. I had to wait a bit but sure enough, a plethora of Pluses showed up.

Is this how it works?
 
Thanks to istocknow I was able to snag a Verizon 6+ 128gb silver. Got the email and went online and reserved it.

My local store showed no stock online and they had multiple 6+ in stock. Walk in store stock is different then pickup.
