Same, I'm trying to figure out if apple is reserving any stock for in store pick up. There doesn't seem to be any around me, which is weird because I thought Apple was supposed to get new stock everyday. I wonder if they're allocating 99% of the stock to the line waiters.
Just called local store number and asked them why I can't see any stock online. Rep said that they are getting new shipments every day but they are being sold FCFS. That might be the reason why nothing is seen online. I have some work this morning but I will try to go to store before they open today and see if I can get lucky.
NooOOOOOOoOO. This ruins it for everybody that works 9-5. Not sure what to do. I really really do not want to wait inline to get it. I guess that explains why people are waiting in long lines in front of the stores.
I'm not really sure why people are saying this?? I am under contract with Verizon and do not have an upgrade. When they run my eligibility it shows it's not available and gives me the option to buy for full price. I have the phone I want in my cart on the apple store app ready to check out when one becomes available. I was also able to do this on Apples site. It checks for an upgrade and then lets me check out at full retail price.
I know. It sucks. Today is the only day I can probably go to store before it opens. Could you guys your local Apple store and confirm this theory. As much as Apple cust. service is good, I can't rely on one rep.
Got to the Apple Store at 8:00am this morning.. iPhone 6+ in stock in every configuration except 128gb for Verizon ATT and Sprint.
Zero 6+ for T-Mobile and only 1 gold 128gb 6 available.
Side note- All four people in front of me purchased 2 phones each.

I went to the Apple Store the last few days. There are usually 20 or so people in line. About 30 minutes before opening they come out and let you know what they have. Every day the 6 Plus has been scarce and when they do have it, it's in Sprint. One day they had 1 AT&T, but you had to be 1st in line to get it.
I didn't know that, but the issue is Bill i don't have VZ so i cannot purchase it outright as I'm on ATT. I will try your method with ATT and see what comes up, thanks for the heads up
EDIT: There are no ATT available so i can't check :/
EDIT 2: It says its not available for upgrade on my line
Also, every day the 1st 6-8 people in line are really old Asian people. Like 70 year olds just camped out. I didn't think much of it until the 3rd straight day.
iPhones don't support every LTE band on each version. Apple just doesn't have the technology yet to include all LTE bands in one phone.
I was #2 out of 30ish yesterday and they came outside 30 minutes prior to opening and announced only 1 6+ was in the most recent shipment and it was for sprint and the entire line walked away.
Same here. Apple rep at Tacoma, WA said I would have to be one of the first in line to get a plus and that people start lining up at 4am. I don't know if I can line up again and end up empty handed again. I might "settle" for the 6 out of frustration.
What location and how early did you get there before opening to be #2 in line?
Catching up on last nights conversation, is it true that you can't order AT&T Next for in-store pickup? And if so, can you order for 2-year and then convert to Next when you go to the store?
Thanks for everythingwhen will email alerts be active?
Should be today. Keep you posted.
I'm considering opening a new thread when it's ready (chat, faqs, howtos), tell me if you feel that's inappropriate.
Greensboro, NC and I got there just before 8:30 a.m., the girl in front of me got there around 6:30 a.m.
Yeah what everyone is saying is true. I was 4th in line at my apple store this morning. I have been checking their website religiously and haven't seen any pluses for AT&T. They ended up having 2 pluses so I missed out. What the apple rep told me was that they have 2 inventory systems. One for walk ins and one for online reservations. The walk in system gets priority on stock. Whenever they have a large shipment of phones, they then put some on the website for reservations. So that explains alot. He said to be first in line or right up there when you can be. You'll have a better chance then checking online.
