So far, I have been checking every hour (or even more often) and have had no luck at all (even at 6AM)
So for someone interested in paying full price for the CDMA/GSM (Verizon) phone to be used on AT&T there is really no way to utilize the reservation system right now?
There is no way around entering carrier information so I am stuck getting the full priced TMO version at the moment. Since Sim Free isn’t currently offered and I’d get the Intel chip.

[doublepost=1510027216][/doublepost]Same same ; wondering if it will be this way for awhile.
FYI I’m in NY and just checked and several stores around me had space grey x 256 for pickup tomorrow. Just locked one down for tomorrow night!
In the past its been 10 pm local time. But this year it seems early in the morning. Maybe returns or they are back to the regular schedule.
I’m hoping to get a 256gb silver T-Mobile, but I’m only seeing AT&T on the east coast right now
For those of you who really want these and are in the USA (and I swear, I am not affiliated with iStockNow)... go to their site, choose the phone(s) you are looking for, log in for email notifications, and when one hits your inbox, go reserve your phone. Some of these are refreshing at night because it's been 24 hours and nobody picked up a reservation, so it went back to stock. Others are new shipments in the morning (usually around 5-6 am local time, per my observations of when I'm getting email notifications).
I snagged a 256GB Space Grey AT&T model for my husband on Sunday when his preorder was at Nov 17-24 and I felt terrible because mine and my son's both got launch day delivery.
I have used iStockNow for years to find iPhones and I swear, I should just give up and become a personal iPhone shopper because I could've already bought at least a half dozen extras locally without much effort.
If you are in the US, near any Apple stores, and you want one of these, you should be able to lay hands on one within the first week of launch if you are getting stock alerts.
Sidebar anecdote: Last year, I ordered a Rose Gold for launch. I'd had a Rose Gold the year before and realized I was bored with the color after I received it. I had managed to source a Jet Black within the first 2 weeks and was able to return my RG one for the JB. I'm not kidding when I say it just takes a few minutes of planning on the front end, but you can find a phone if you want one. Jet Black wasn't exactly easy to find last year, but I found one. And, I wasn't really trying that hard. I just used the tools that are out there to help me locate it.
Since I got my husband's phone reserved on Sunday, I've gotten 5 more emails for the same model of X. I could have bought all five of them and if I knew people locally who wanted one, they could have bought them. Just emails. They even have links in the emails that take you directly to the Apple Store.
TL;DR: Work smart, not hard.

istocknow does not refresh as fast as you would think. it takes intervals of 15 minutes per refresh so many phones are sold out before istocknow even recognizes that shipments arrived. They should still be fruitful for the night
Yep. I set notification last week to notify me if the one I wanted is in stock. Come Saturday morning, I checked Apple Store app and showed that the one I wanted was available for pick up. 10 minutes later I got an email from istocknow that the one I wanted was in stock. So pretty much you can't always rely on istocknow for availability. Especially on launch weekends.
I doubted, I kind of thought this would be the vibe this week. We all know Apple has plenty of stock right now. The only issue is they really screwed up bad with the pre order people, like really bad. So they may be extremely scarce and hard to find the next 7-10 days IMO.
Hype, like Apple needs more hype!
