    iPhone X Pre-Order (In Store Pick-Up)

    Have any of you used In Store Pick-Up for a pre-ordered iPhone? If so, how'd it go? Would you say it has the same chance to get a pick-up day on launch day versus receiving it on launch day at home via mail? You may also discuss amongst yourselves. :p Thanks!
