Some people were saying you can get a Verizon phone full price and it'll be unlocked for use on T-Mobile or AT&T as well, is that true? I thought a CDMA phone is stuck with CDMA.

Verizon iphones are factory unlocked..Can be used on Verizons CDMA network or GSM...
 
I've yet to see a plus show up online in my general area since launch. I'm pretty much giving up on this concept and just hitting the physical store periodically. My store got ZERO phones in yesterday in their shipment.
 
There's a ton of availability in the metro boston area for the 64gb 6+, at least on VZW.

6 is slim pickings, CambridgeSide seems to not be getting a lot of traffic and I was able to get a 128 at Chestnut Hill, though I'm dreading going to pick it up because the line was packed with foreign folks yesterday who were not good at directions or not bodily shoving people in line.
 
Screen scraping. Oh man, that reminds me back in the day. It'll take you ages for Apple to approve it, by that time everyone will have an iphone 6 lol

I'm not screen scraping. I found Apple has a JSON api for their inventory. It's what they're using to populate that page, but I'm not just scraping that page.

Then it's not call scraping then. It's using their available API. There's nothing to worry about besides the quality of the app.
 
What site(s) is everyone using to check inventory? I have been using the SeaTurtle site but I was refreshing it last night and was not even seeing the stock that some of you were mentioning.
 
Screw it. I can't stay up until 1:00 AM every night and get up at 6:00 for work. Ordered from the Apple Store. 3 - 4 week delivery time. I got worried about the other 20 countries coming online soon. It's going to be even worse then.

What's stupid is I cancelled an ATT Premier Oct 2nd delivery for the possibility of reserving.

Goddamn this is frustrating. Next time I will preorder from the Apple Store and take the delivery date. Eff you, AT&T. /sigh

If you could pm me about what the api is or how I can find it would be great.

Lots of stock just appeared in my local store. I went to the reservation page, inputted everything and chose the pick-up time 5-6pm. I hit submit and was given an error and told to pick a new time. All of the times dropped bar 2-3pm and then it totally failed. I reloaded and the stock disappeared. :confused:

I was so, so close.

Good to know. That said, the quality definitely isn't there right now. It's a very limited tool designed for personal use. I'm pretty sure by the time I polished it up and waited for approval, the fervor for iPhone 6 will be pretty dead. But thanks for the info.

You can either go back a few pages and find the PHP script I posted or you could go to the Apple site, pop open Chrome developer tools, and then watch for AJAX calls as you pop open the store inventory check window.

snag me one full retail and ship it to me :D...none in NC or surrounding areas yet AT ALL
 
It seems like silver was the color of the day for last night's shipments. Lots of silver 6 Plus units and no Space Gray that I could find.

I wonder if they (Southpoint, Crabtree) aren't updating inventory online but do have some? People are in line waiting for something, it can't be just the 6.
 
Question about the mechanics of this:

Can I put the one I want in my cart, go to the "Delivery & Pickup Options" page and keep checking the "Change store" link? See this image:

Or do I need to do that from the product page to see it actually update when they get stock in?

Hope this question makes sense...
 
Where are all the 6+ Tmobile in SoCal area? :(

I have two large Apple stores in my city and both have stated each morning that "We do not have any T-Mobile phones in stock".

I am going to try again tomorrow/ Friday but it is discouraging that each day they have had the 6+ for every carrier except T-Mobile.
 
Tonight 1am order online for in store pickup Saturday

See yall tonight. Trying to get a 6+ any color 16 or 64 in fresno ca. Att

there were 5 or so in line at Friendly Center in Gboro at 745 am yesterday morning when I was heading to play golf, and then when I was heading to another course for a late afternoon 18, there were 20 more people in line...wtf
 
Anybody have any idea when the Dallas-area stores' online stock gets updated?

I saw one last night around 3AM. But got an error while check out. By the time I could do anything else, phone was gone. I have hardly seen any stock coming up in DFW area.
