IPhone 5 sales - in store pick up crap

     This is the first year that didn't buy that iPhone five on the first day came out. I'm regretting that decision now. A month after it came out I figured it be okay and easy to get one, I'm extremely wrong.
     They have some sort of reserve system set up for the Apple website where right from your shopping cart you can select an option to pick the iPhone up at a local store. It sounds it a great idea however every single night for the last week they've been sold out by 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock is supposed to be the start time for this. Actually I'm not sure if they're sold out or if there is no stock, I'm assuming that there has been stock over the last week and that I am just somehow missing the opportunity to buy a phone every single night.
     Tonight I was ready 10 minutes before 10 PM. Still they all said "pick up unavailable" at the stores.
     Has anyone else actually bought an iPhone five this week using this system successfully?
Pick up:Select an Apple Store

I believe they don't offer the instore pick up at this time. Only delivery to house only. I can confirm this because I was at the apple store yesterday to ask when the line will start next week, and I have asked many questions about the pre-orderings and what not about the iphone 4S. They said the pre-order is for delivery only this time around and that there is no option to pick it up in store directly.

HT6154 For iPhone 6, will in store pick-up for be the same day as home delivery?

If I want to get my phone faster, should I do in store pick up instead of having it shipped to my home?

I'm just curious. I've done in-store pickups in the past for stuff like my iMac, but not on "Pre-Order Day". I've also waited in line for previous iterations of the iPhone, so it's not the end of the world...
Unfortunately this time around, all pre-orders are being delivered directly to your house, there is no option to pick up directly in store as I have just pre-ordered mine like 1 minute ago. I can also confirm this because I went to the apple store yesterday to ask when the line would start, and have asked them if the apple online store can take pre-order and pick up in stores they said they don't do it this time around.

Asked for iPhone to be shipped but received "in-store pick-up"

I clearly selected the option to have my iPhone 4 shipped to me, but the system came back with "Cannot process request" and confirmed an in-store pick-up. Sounds like this happening to others as well. Think there is any chance to get Apple to change the order to have it shipped??

How do you reserve an iPhone 4 for store pick up?

I cant find anyway to reseve the iPhone 4 for store pick up, in the iPhone reserve options it only gives you the option to reserve the 4S. and on the iPhone 4 page their is no button that says reserve.
sorry if its in the wrong section.
Help!

Why would you need to reserve and iPhone4? There are no supply issues with the 4, only the 4S because it is new.

In store pick up and stacking sale with coupon

I want to take advantage of the buy one get one 40% off of ps4 pre owned games as well as use my B2G1 free coupon on preowned games. would this be possible in store? Also, if games are listed as "unavailable" for in-store pick up, does that mean that they are out of stock at that store?

If I remember correctly the B2G1 cupon in the fine print says "no combinable with any other offer," or something along those lines.
To your second question most likely. Only once have a found a game stated as out of stock, in stock in the store.

If I buy a iPhone 5 at the store, will it still be running iOS 6 or 7?

I want to buy the iPhone 5 (not the iPhone 5s or c) because it has iOS 6 on it instead of iOS 7 (which I do not like) and wondering if the people at the store still have the iPhones that run iOS 6 on them. Thanks!

It is unlikely that you will find an iPhone 5 in any store for sale.
The iPhone 5 has not been available for sale since November of 2013 when the 5S and 5C were replaced.
The only way to acquire an iPhone 5 at this point is via the used/refurbished market. Unless you buy a used iPhone that was never upgraded, you will not find one running iOS6.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

Should I buy iphone 6 plus @ Verizon store for $200 promotion by trading in old iphone 4? What if I bought it at Apple Store..

I bought new iphone 6 plus @ Apple store online. Yes I upgraded another 2 years verzion contract service. Here is my question.
Am I still qualified for Iphone Trade In promotion $200 by trading in my old iphone 4? I got confused. One of Verizon guys via phone call said to me that I would be qualified for the promotion even though I bought Apple store (NOT Verizon store) I was also told by one of verizon store sales that I would not be qualified because i didn't buy it at Verizon store.
Please clarify what's condition of iphone 6 plus purcahse. Should it be at Verizon store? or regardless??
In addition, should my purchase on Verizon Edge Plan for this promotion? What about "Upgrade phone without changing existing plan"? Am I still qualified for this promotion?
Thanks.

You will only get the Verizon promotion if you make the purchase from Verizon.

If i make an reservation for one iphone 4 in Retail Store on London?

If i make an reservation for one iphone 4 in Retail Store on London UK?
How much time takes when the iphone arrived on the apple shop and i come to pickup the iphone?

I have been told from the stores its best to order online. They are not sure of deliveries (ie. they do know but they dont tell their customers, just in case the deliveries dont arrive).
Regents Street - said order online as I may be waiting for a month.
Brent Cross - Had no idea when I can pick up - I put my name down anyway.
Whitecity (Westfield) - Said I had to come into store and reserve.
Situation I reserved on 19th July, have recieved no confirmation email, no moving up email, no pick up e-mail.
To be honest I think the stores in London you may be waiting a long time (ie 3-4 weeks +), else where in UK maybe 2-3 weeks.
I know the USA stores are much better with reservations, with confirmation asap and updates to say you are moving up, and pick up much faster, just a shame its not offline!

Order online or check at 10 every night for in store pick up?

I already ordered my iPhone 5. The estimated delivery date is between the 30th and November 5th. I sold my 4S in order to get the 5 so now I'm stuck using my old crappy droid and would really like to get an iPhone as soon as I can.
I spoke to an employee at the Apple Store and he suggested that I cancel my order online and take my chances getting it for in store pick up.
My question is, is it almost a certainty that I will find iPhone available some night at 10 available at my local store for in store pick up sooner than I would receive it in the mail?
Thank you for advice/answers.

In the US, on-line ordering will begin at 0001 on September 20
via Apple website. I have not seen anything for other countries.

Want to Switch from In Store Pick up to Delivery

I already "preordered" an iphone 3G S for in store pick up earlier this week. Now of course, they are offering delivery to my door, and a guaranteed iphone in my pocket by June 19. Would there be an issue or weird overlap if I just pleasantly ignore the in store pickup request and go ahead with ordering the phone online for delivery?
Note, I'll be a new ATT customer, switching from another provider.

You should have received a confirmation email from Apple which includes an order number and an 800 number to call Apple. Call the number and ask if you can have the order switched to delivery. Your answer will be one of two things. Yes, let's do it or No, but we can cancel this order and then you can place a new one for home delivery.

In store pick-up info needed

What information do I need to claim the phone? I reserved it with my apple ID as I assume all have. I am not the account holder of the phone that is being upgraded but the account holder will be present when I go to claim the phone. Thanks

Well if you ordered online, you should get an e-mail that your iphone is ready to be picked up. I would print that e-mail out and take it to the store. Your e-mail should have a reservation number I believe.

In-store Pick-up items not ready???

Hi I ordered six 3DS games on July 16, 2014 for in-store pick up. One Bravely Default, One Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds, Two Pokemon X, and Two Pokemon Y. The estimated time for in-store pick up was July 22, 2014 and now it is July 24, 2014 with only Bravely Default being ready and the rest still under "order in process of being fulfilled". I noticed the current sale for these games being a buy one get one and really think that the stock for the games had not been quickly put aside for my pick-up even though I had ordered the Wednesday of last week. I am surprised to see many others get their games ready for in-store pick up or even shipped when they ordered later than me. Any solutions and help? Thanks!
Solved!

Hi pinoysaboy,
Buy One, Get One offers are a great way to pick up new games, and it sounds like you've got a few great play sessions planned! I'd be anxious too if I found myself in a similar situation, especially if updates didn't appear to be readily available.
I've had the chance to look into this situation and it looks like while our fulfillment center has acknowledged your order, your copies of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Pokémon X & Y have yet to be shipped. It's unclear what might be causing this delay, so I've reached out to our support team for clarification. Although I cannot guarantee an immediate response, rest assured that I will let you know via private message as soon as additional information is available. In the meantime, I'd encourage you to stop by the store when you can to pick up your copy of Bravely Default.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

If I buy an IPhone, do I have to pick a carrier? I have T-Mobile.

If I buy an IPhone, do I have to pick a carrier? I have T-Mobile.

Buy an unlocked iPhone at the Apple store. Be sure it is unlocked and not
just without contract - same price but entirely different matter.
T-mobile cannot unlock an iPhone that is locked to a network other than T-mobile.
