I'm thinking of trying the same thing. I have a large corporate ATT store right near me. Every year they get a very good supply of stock in and I'm hoping this year will be similar. There is no one outside yet and I may head back out for good soon... Gotta say if I score a JB+ I don't think I can resist selling it. Too in demand for me to not. Can't wait to see your pics!

Yea, I'd definitely go for it. Before I went out I was thinking about just pre ordering off of apple and take the Nov date like a champ but I figured it doesn't hurt to trust your gut. I'll just be here chilling for the next couple hours

I'll bet it's either a 7 or a matte black. Let us know if it isn't. Would be odd that Apple would send them out to att and not do any preorders at all online for launch day.
Apple has contracts with carriers. They can't take back some of the shipments regardless if they have stock issues.

No. the demo units ship totally separately and have completely different skus. I used to do the merchandising for them for two years. If they say it is stock... its sellable stock.

Look at the negative people trying to bust the Op's balls. Jealous? Or just naturally dbags?

No it goes against everything we've heard for the last week and it's hard to believe some random att employee vs the mountains of evidence to the contrary. I'm excited to see if it's real, I'm sorry you have to go through life with such a negative outlook of others tho.

Demo unit. My local AT&T corporate store told me the same - they got one of each for demo, and the only ones they got extras of were 7s. An "authorized reseller" said they got "everything but Jet Black +" for sale.

Lmao you're sorry that I have to go through a negative outlook of others? Lol good luck with that sticking. All I have to do is read the pathetic attacks on the OP of how "his phone will scratch", "it's probably a 7", "it's probably a matte black", "it's a demo unit". Poor guy is excited and all the negative nay sayers crawl out of the woodwork. My outlook is just fine pal. I'm not the one pissing on parades...

Well I made it out to my corporate ATT store and am #1 out of one in line.

I really like my chances. Anyone know how many units per customer ATT will sell?
