I thought it was 10pm ET? I guess it's changed, but I'll check then too...Good luck everyone, I guess this is the reserve at night time thread this year, woohoo!
I"ll have to check but it was my understanding that its 10pm local time. Well maybe not today since the stores might be open a little later so today might be one hour after closing time. Basically when the stores systems are officially closed and offline so all the reservations auto cancel and the system can see what's left to make available for online

i believe you actually have to hit a 'check availability' to see the stores that have it in but yes there is a clear link
Unlike last year they are using a real time inventory system that updates the moment a reservation or sale is made. if a new shipment comes in, those numbers are updated within ten minutes after the stock crew "Posts" the shipment (having scanned the boxes for their shipping codes etc). So that time could be after closing or 3pm or 10am or who knows. All depending on the source of the stock
Great thread, I was just gonna ask about this option.
I haven't ordered my iPhone 6 Plus yet, i'm hoping i'll be able to pick it up from a local Apple Store before 3-4 weeks.
I don't see the option of picking it up in store when checking out, are you guys talking about the Reserve and Pick-Up? it says:
"Please come back tomorrow to reserve your iPhone.
iPhone reservations are available between midnight and 8:00 p.m. Please come back then to make a reservation for same-day pickup"
When do you think is the best time to check?

I was just looking at to do the same thing and received this message during checkout
ersonal Pickup is not available for an iPhone purchased with AT&T NextDon't know if that will change tonight. I hope it will

Ugh...hopefully it will change. If not, then I'll just go wait in line at 1am or whenever i find out if I can do it or not. I wonder why they would make that restriction?
Yeah I don't know why they would do that either. And I don't even know if lining up will do anything since everyone will be reserving their stock online just to pick them up

I checked stock first instead of reserving.
Most models available tomorrow at my 2 local apple stores.
By the time I had started my reservation all gone except 16gb.
I'm in the UK.
Where did you check the store's stock?
I cancelled my pre-order from AT&T and was upgrade eligible again within minutes. Don't cancel if you planning on doing Next though.

Nice! It's the same message i'm getting on my Reserve and Pick-Up page:
"Please come back tomorrow to reserve your iPhone.
iPhone reservations are available between midnight and 8:00 p.m. Please come back then to make a reservation for same-day pickup"
When do you guys think is the best time to check for stock? right at 12AM local time?
Unfortunately I don't, i tried but it says "Page not found". Is there anyway you can check the stock when placing an order online?

I'm thinking about exchanging my 64 plus for 128 plus. I'm on the Next plan. I wonder if I could try this.
