So confused so it's midnight local where ever a person is at or is it midnight pacific and anywhere else accordingly ?

Midnight local, makes sense because local stores would be in your time zone so they'd know what they have for tomorrow.

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?

with the 5 and iPad 3 I started few minutes early.. just incase.
 
I canceled my AT&T pre-order for the iPhone 6+ that was dated delivery in Oct.

I was using AT&T Next, the online agent said I should be fine to use AT&T Next again once I get an e-mail confirmation.

So does apple not do AT&T Next installment setup in the store?

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?

Great! Eventually I found a thread talking about this! I am living in Ottawa, ON and I am going to stay until midnight. You'd better set up an autopage refresher to get notification if the iReserve page changes.

Now I am keep refreshing these two webpages for hours!

I believe they do ATT Next activations in the store...I just don't think they let Next folks do in-store pickups...meaning you gotta wait in line with the other walk-ins.

If you go through the ordering process right now, it's available. Whether it will also be an option for store pick-up is still unknown.
 
I just also did a chat (USA) with the apple lady and she said the same thing as above.

She told me to use this link first:
http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/

She also told me to save my cart just in case but to use that first link (she said it currently doesn't show anything but will change at midnight local time)

They do, I was at the Apple store today, got my 6+ 128 GB Gold and used AT&T Next.

Good thinking! thanks!

I didn't even think about that, i'll set it up now. Thanks! :)
Whats the difference between the two links? I'm on the the second one, not the first.

What do you guys think is the likelihood of getting a Space Gray 64GB iPhone 6 Plus this way? Or would i be better off ordering and waiting 3-4 weeks?

I just checked entering my wife's phone since she's eligible and apparently there is no option to do the in-store pick for those who are AT&T Next. Who knows.

Luckily tho, I waited in line since 1:40 PM and still walked out with the 6 Plus 128 GB Gold in my hands.

So why would the Apple website let you do an online order using next but not pick it up in the store? That would be kinda strange. I know their store employees had to go through Next training and stuff and they can definitely do it in the store. Also people preordered for pick up in store today with Next which is kinda the same thing. Confused?

That's what I'm trying to figure out too...

I don't think there's any in store option right now, until you reserve one. I don't think it matters how you complete the order.
 
It's live in Canada Apple Store!!
But Rideau and Bayshore in Ottawa is not available for selecting.... SAD!
 
does anyone have any experience here? will you be able to reserve a full retail price phone? how does this generally work? pay now or pay at the store? never done it this way.

I just chatted with an apple rep online, and they said at midnight the option for in store pick up will be there even for those of us using AT&T Next.
