Just Spoke to Apple Store Reagrding iPhone 4 Reservations

I, like alot of people on here, made an in store reservation for my iPhone. (No option to pre pay like alot of people were saying) I just got off the phone with the Apple store that my reservation is at. I confirmed that I indeed did have a reservation for an iPhone at their store. I also confirmed that my reservation did indeed guarantee me an iPhone at said store. So for all of you who are worried about your in store reservations, I encourage you to call you local store and speak to someone directly.
Have a great day!

Ok, so with all the chatter I decided to do the same thing. Just got off the phone with the Apple store where I reserved my phone.
The guy I spoke to was very nice and helpful. He said they didn't have access to the actual "reserve list" but that if I received a confirmation email about my reserve(which I did) that I will definitely have a phone reserved for me on launch day at that store. I also asked about limited reserves and if I show up at 5:00pm and the line had 600 people in it, would my reserved phone be given to someone else? He said if the email states that it will be held until the close of business, then that is what it means. The phone will be held in your name until the store closes. He said it was the same way for the iPad reservations. The device was held until 3:00pm if you had a reservation. If you didn't pick it up, then it was released to be sold to anyone.
I feel a lot more confident now about getting my phone on the 24th!!!
If you're in doubt, just call your store. They seem more than willing to answer questions and offer clarifications.

  • To the people who haven't received your iphone 6 Pluses yet, just hit the Apple Store. You'll get it much quicker.

    I got shafted during the pre-order even though I ordered on time. I even got bamboozled at the Verizon store after waiting for four hours, and being third in line. At 8am we were all told that Apple sent them absolutely no iPhone 6 Pluses. Wonderful news right. After all this **, I was lucky enough to snag a white/silver 64GB Plus at the Apple store today. They got a late shipment, and received five more Plus models tonight. Needless to say I canceled my order with Verizon today. I would just monitor the Apple store closely for availability at local stores. That's what I did, and scored epically. In the end I got my iPhone 6+ on launch weekend...no thanks to Verizon.

    I tried to buy an iPhone 6 Plus in both Verizon and Apple stores and was told that they didn't have any and did not know when they would receive more.  I tried to order online at both the Apple and Verizon online stores but could not because my current Loyalty plan is not available for online orders.  Next, I called Verizon to place the order with a live rep.  After being sent to two different reps and waiting over an hour I finally got to someone that was able to take my order for exactly the color and storage size that I wanted. I received an email receipt confirming my order and keeping my current loyalty plan with the $200 trade in promotion for my old iPhone 5.  While I have to wait a month to receive my new phone, I am happy that I will receive the phone that want and get the trade in promotion. I am a patient man

  • Do apple stores have iPhone 5 in stock?

    I was wondering if apple stores have iPhone 5s in stock

    I have called my local store in Santa Rosa Ca every day since the 22nd of september. They always say out of stock. I have saved the phone in my cart @ the online apple store and log in everynight just at the moment the on store pickup option has been turned on. Every night I get the same message unavailable and it's unavalable in all stores within a large radius. So today I go into the store because I know the at&t store in the same shopping mall expected to get delivery of more iphones at 4:00. So I stop by the apple store only to be told they sold out. I asked the manager if they have replenished stock since the first sell out on the 22nd and he said yes they have been getting new stock regularly however they sell out shortly after they open @ 10:00 am. So I'm thinking hmmmm. This means the  online inventory doesn't work, the store holds all incoming inventory until the next day and won't tell you when the next order is due in. So if you need a phone like I do, since my screen is cracked, your basically screwed until Apple decides they are going to give their stores enough stock to last until the next delivery, the online inventory starts working, or the stores tell you when they expect another order to arrive so you can show up then. I don't see any of those things happening any time soon or at all.

    I just left the apple store after they checked the MAC and wiped it clean. I have plugged the external drive in and see the device; however, they was no prompt to migrate the files, as I was told. How do I get the files to migrate. I can see yesterdays back-up. I thought it was to automatically prompt for the migration process?

    You would have to move to the U.S. and find a place to live.  Then you would have to get a credit card billed to that U.S address.  Then, as long as you were inside the borders of the U.S., you could buy from the U.S store.

    I am now using Maps a lot and I need to be able to hear voice commands.
    You're not talking to Apple.
    So here are my questions:
    1Can I install iOS 6.0 from an iOS 6.0 install file using iTunes?
    I I install iOS 6.0, will Apple offer me the OTA update to 6.1.3? (I understand that there were some security issues with 6.0). If not, how can I obtain the update?
    3. Where can I find step-by-step instructions for all this?
    1. No.
    2. You can't do that.
    3. No where legitimate. Any instructions you could find to do this would involve an unauthorized modification to the phone, which forfeits all rights to support.

  • It always ask me to fill my credit card number when I want to purchase just with my apple store gift card

    It always ask me to fill my credit card number when I want to purchase just with my apple store gift card. I chose 'none' for my billing address, and it always ask for my credit card Number, and ive actually redeemed $110 itunes gift card.

    Apple verifies your payment method with nearly every purchase now for your security.
    On an iOS device make sure to tap Done after selecting None.
    Same thing on a computer. Make sure to click Done if you select None for Payment Method.

  • How can I use a foreign SIM in a Japanese Apple store bought iPhone 4s?

    Recently I bought an iPhone 4S from the Apple Store in Ginza (I have just moved to Japan) and took it with me on holiday to Australia. Not wanting to pay extortionate roaming charges I bought myself an Australian Alstra SIM and put it in my phone. My phone kept saying that the SIM was invalid. We checked that it was fine in other phones and came to the conclusion that for some reason my phone would not take it. The Apple store in Sydney then told me that my phone was locked, I told them that this should not be possible as l had bought the phone from the Apple Store. They said there was nothing they could do.
    I am very angry because it looks like I have been sold something that I do not now own. Is it possible to get iPhones in Japan that will support other networks (ie have I been sold a dud) or, if not, can they be unlocked (I'm going to be going to the uk soon and will again want to put a local SIM in)?
    Thank you for you time and the support that Apple seems unwilling to provide (I have already asked these questions at the Genius bar and received shrugged shoulders)

    Thank you Chris that is very helpful. I paid full price for an Apple Store phone (there was no indication about locking at the time and I didn't ask as I bought it without contract and from the store so just assumed. Although I did wonder why it was that you couldn't buy them online), must be about 3 months ago now. I then later signed up to a data contract with SoftBank.
    It would seem (from other sources too) that all Japanese phones in Japan are locked to Japanese networks and that this is currently a requirement to do with managing phone usage. So I can (again apparently) use any Japanese SIM in my phone but no other! I will have to see what I can do about getting the phone unlocked...
    Thank you again, I have leaned a valuable lesson about asking more questions at the time of purchase

  • I try to open apple store on iphone and the language is in chinese how do you change back to english

    I bought an iphone 3 and when I tried to log in into apple store the language is in chinese how can I change the language into english

    You haven't mentioned if the iPhone is in Chinese or just the Region Format.
    I'll try to help the as if  the navigation is being done in Chinese.  Usually you need access to another device so you can navigate in a language that you understand.
    Go to Settings>General.  If the iPhone is still in Chinese, you can still navigate to two just by following the settings icon.
    Scroll all the way to the bottom.  The bar standing alone at the bottom is "Reset," avoid that.  Look at the group of topics just above the reset bar.  The second from the bottom is "Intrernational." tap that.
    There are two groups of topics, three above and two below.  Focus on the two below and select the top one of those two. 
    Again, if the iPhone is in a laguage you cannot read, you may need to do some experimentation. You're looking for the words "United States," but you may need to settle for anything that uses a character set that you understand.  Select ity and you you be able to navigate the rest.

  • Apple store verizon iphone new or refurbished

    I took my VZW iphone 4 to the apple store for a bad battery. They replaced the entire phone. The replacement phone was out of a plain black box. How do i tell if this was a new phone or a refurbished iphone. They said some are new and some are Like new. Please help.

    You can't tell, and it really doesn't matter.  You turned in a phone with a bad battery and got a like new phone with a new battery.  It has the same warranty period as your original phone or 90 days from the date of replacement, whichever is longer.
    If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received within the WarrantyPeriod, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, Apple will either (1) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new parts or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or refurbished that is equivalent to new in performance and reliability and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product.

  • HT2978 my earphones just broke, will apple store replace them for free if i have apple car and has been less than a year since i bought the phone ?

    please help

    There's only one way to find out what Apple might do in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
    I will say though that I've had two iPads and an iPhone and my wife also has an iPhone. Total use time is 6-7 years and we've never had a cable tear or fail.
