Only a few stores are available for reservation...

Aw crap you're right, so that means none of the stores near me have stock for the model I want.

I guess we'll check again tomorrow night, and every night, until we get our phones. I'm seeing a lot of 6 Plus available in various stores though which is good news!

I'm going to try again in midnight before sleeping.

Wait a couple of hours, they took the site down again, i think it went live by accident, since all of the phones said you had to pick them up on friday the 19th by 8pm, which already passed!
 
so that was just for Canada? and the US obviously doesn't have a site that looks like that and makes so much sense? bc I haven't seen anything for the US, just that sweet site for Canadians
 
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.

I did the same thing and it looks like it is AT&T's doing...shouldn't have cancelled my AT&T pre-order. But oh well. I'll go get in line sometime in the next few hours I guess.

Don't give up, man. I noticed that it said "Choose a pickup time for today
You must pick up today, Friday, September 19, at..", which means it's not for Sat!! And occasionally, it's down and back to live again. They're probably setting the list up.

Wow I hate getting 2 different answers. Guess we will find out in a couple of hours :(

Yeah for real. I chatted with a rep just now and she said that AT&T NEXT users can reserve for in store pick-up.

Who knows what's true...
 
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)

I missed this on first glance, so my guess is that this webpage will show a link for us similar to the canadian one and we will see where and if we can get any tomorrow

I'm in NC

:)nice...which store are you hoping will have them? did you try anywhere today?
 
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.

It looks like it's the same for Verizon Edge, there is no option to select Edge online or the $60 individual line plan. Also, no way for an existing customer to select full price Verizon phone. I wonder if you could select a contract phone online and change it to Edge or Next in store when you pick it up?

Where do you see its live in for Canada? My link says check back at midnight
 
Also people preordered for pick up in store today with Next which is kinda the same thing. Confused?

Someone in this thread claimed to have done this? It was very clear on the Apple web page when I wanted to this, that they did not allow it. The phone has to be shipped to you if you wanted Next.

I didn't notice that. Thanks guys! :D
Yeah the site is back to it's "Please come back later" message.

I'm gonna try again right before midnight and continue refreshing.
 
How are you all canceling your preorders?

I just tried on ATT and there's no place to do so.

save your cart? so should i pretend like Im buying online but keep refreshing that page around midnight until a new link shows up? Sorry but the more specific directions the better!

Im wondering the same since I need to buy full price VZW phone. Never done a reservation so I am unsure as to whether or not you have to go through all the same steps as when you order one online (payment etc), or if you just simply reserve a phone then go and sort that all out at the store.

I have one tab with the link the apple lady sent me. The other tab I have is my secure check out page. I'm just refreshing both just in case
