If 4s is sold out, when do stores usually get a new stock of them?

I was wondering when stores usually get a new shipment of iphone 4S. I was thinking about preordering it, but if I do that there's a 60% chance my family members nor myself will be home during the time it's delievered  ; the mail man will probably leave it at my door step which is prone to stealing. I'm also concerned about the condition of the iphone when it's shipped to myhouse, since when iphone are delievered individually, damage to the iphone is plausable.I was thinking of camping out at the apple store the night before, but that's a waste of time since we're not sure how many phone will be in stock. So I was thinking of just waiting until the dealer has a new shipment of iphones but I'm not sure when that will be. I currently do not own a phone; switched from verizon to ATT with my family So my real question is, how long after the intial release of the Iphone 4 did stores get a new shipment of iphones?

Stores get shipments of product almost every day, but it may not be iphones or ipads or whatever. What they've told me is that they don't know what they get, nor do they know the time it comes in, etc.
In general, the busier stores get larger shipments than the less busy.
There is no way for anyone to predict the availablility of iphone 4S in the stores from day to day. I would imagine it would be very high demand/low inventory the first few months. At least that's what it's been for ipad, iphone4, etc.

    I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

    After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update.  I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt. 
    Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far.  Good luck, it is frustrating!  Hattie47

  • Can I bring my broken iPhone 5c to the Apple store to get a new one?

    The screen of my iPhone 5c is seperaring from the back of the phone. Can I bring it back to the Apple Store to get a new one for free

    If it's under warranty and they determine it's a defect and not caused by abuse, yes. If it's out of warranty or was physically damaged, then no. You'll need to pay for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Can i go into an apple store to get a new battery for my ihpone 3gs

    Can i go to an Apple store to get a new battery put into my iphone 3gs? or do i have to ship it somewhere?

    Is she going to want to keep the same number? If not, you can go into somewhere like Carphone warehouse and ask for a new EE sim card sometimes costs £5 but they normally do a deal like top up £10 and get something free. i'm sure EE shop would supply these also, the only trouble you may have is the time that it would take to port the same number over

  • My speaker wont work on my iphone , coud i bring it to the store and get a new one ?

    my speaker wont work on my iphone and ive tried everything could i bring my phone to the store to get a new one ?

    Have you checked the silent switch on the side of the iphone?
    Have you tried turning the volume up?
    Have you tried restart?
    Have you tried reset?
    Have you tried restore?
    Have you tried restore as new?
    If all of these fail, then make an apointment at the genius bar.  If your iphone is defective and is within the warranty period, then they will replace.

  • IPhone Malfunction & Sold Out at Apple Stores?

    My iPhone's touch screen stopped working today completely, so I can't navigate past the unlock screen. When I connect it to my computer, it won't recognize that anything is even there. I just need a new iPhone desperately, but all the Apple stores (or at least the Apple store in Knoxville, TN) is sold out, as well as AT&T.
    So what do I do?! Does Apple have iPhones on hand for exchange or how are they going to help me out since my product is defective?
    Please let me know! I can't go long without a phone!

    Yes, holding the Sleep/Wake button down for like 5 seconds or so will allow you to power down. If that doesn't work, try the force reset:
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button AND the HOME button down for like 6-7 or more seconds.
    That may help.

  • The other day at school i had lost/stolen ipod touch i had signed up with apple but i havent download the app (find my iphone) is there any way i can find out when my ipod touch gets connected to a wifi and track it

    how do u track an ipod touch when its connected to a wifi and how do u find out when its your stolen ipod touch is connected

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing - the app is for tracking an iOS device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • HT4528 I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I wanted to find out - can I bring my old iphone 4 to the apple store and get a new iphone 5 through the apple store instead of verizon?  Will it cost the same to get the phone as through Verizon?

    I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I am trying to find out if I can get my phone through the Apple store?  I have an iphone 4 and am hoping to upgrade to a iphone5.  Just want to make sure if the price is the same as if I went to a Verizon store to upgrad. 

    I don't believe they were looking for a trade in, they are due for a subsidized Verizon upgrade. I think the bringing the iPhone 4 was for setting it up and transferring as Verizon does not require you to swap your previous phone for an upgrade.

  • When will Store be getting more HTC EVO 4g LTEs for pre orders?

    I pre oreder my phone one 5/12/12 at my local store on Thursday they received  4 phone in for pre orders and I was the 5th pre order.

    Don't cancel!  Saturday is your day (if you didn't get today!!)

  • Some of the time the back button is greyed out when i have clicked on a new link. It's not a new window or tab, and the page I came from is not even in my history!

    At first I thought I had unknowingly gone to a new tab or window, but that's not it. I haven't ruled out that I have completely lost my mind, but I'm really hoping that's not the problem, although with win 7 that seems more and more likely all the time. It seems to happen at random. I tired holding down or right clicking the back button but there is nothing. The fact that the page I came from is gone from the history seems really strange.

  • Can I go to apple store and get a newer ipod if I have the original nano?

    I understand I may have to pay $100 or something. But is it possible? When my ipod was purchased I figure I'd never use up 2gigs of memory but I'm already full and as of right now i still have atleast another 200-300 songs to put on. Is it possible to go to a apple store or best buy etc and do a trade if I didn't buy the warranty originally?
    Signed,
    need more space

    there is no trade up program.. my suggestion would be to sell your old one on ebay or a friend etc and take that money and buy a new one.. there are also sites out there that will buy back your ipod for $.

  • Can I sell a French Iphone in an American Apple Store and get a new Iphone 6 that will work in France as well?

    Hi everybody!
    I have an iPhone 5 and I want to take advantage of my next trip to the US to get an iPhone 6 Plus.
    If I go to the Apple Store, will they take my iPhone 5 back (I bought it in France)? If yes, any idea for how much?
    Will the iPhone 6 work without any problem when I'll be back to France?
    Thank you for the answer!!!
