I've been trying to get my hands on the blues for a while now. On the 22nd I saw that they were available to order on BestBuy (backorder). My card was authorized that day but then the charge fell off. I've just been charged again so hoping something might be happening soon. Seems though that consistently checking target is the way to go at the moment though.

I had the same thing happen to by best buy order

So i managed to get an order in for the sky blue with Target, and then literally five minutes later got shipping confirmation for my order (also in sky blue) from Verizon. Is it against forum rules to sell one of them for face value? i know these have been hard to come by, and i don't want to make any money off of them on ebay. Rather get them to someone who actually wants them, although i can always just send them back for a refund.
I'll take one of them off your hands if you are interested

edit: nvm I think I was able to snag a pair from Verizon

Yup, that’s how I got mine. I kept checking Target. They have a few every couple of hours.

AT&T has started to ship. I had cancelled an order for 2 Saturday - they never processed the cancellation. In ordered them back when AT&T made them available and they said they would ship in 2-3 days. Well, that turned into late January. I since got a pair from Target thanks to someone here.

I had no need for another pair plus the Xmas gift I was planning, so I cancelled the AT&T order.

Well, they shipped FedEx overnight yesterday and will arrive today. Go figure.

Ordering one and actually getting it seems to be two horses of different colors. Time will tell if retailers are just stockpiling orders without actually having stock. I guess there is nothing stopping them from doing it but not hearing from t-mobile after getting a “processing your order“ email means nothing it seems.

Can any one here from the U.K check the Apple retail stores for stocks of anything. Every search I’ve done from AirPods Max to iPads to MacBooks to iPhone cases is reporting as unavailable at 12 Apple stores nearest to me. Unless it’s my imagination, the UK retail stores suddenly seem to have no stocks of anything

Supplies are constrained. I checked where I live and a lot of stores did not have any.

Did you check the store hours? I think most are temporarily closed based on the Store hours. Especially in the London area, they are temporarily closed. Who knows when it will re-open.

Just an example of one: https://www.apple.com/uk/retail/regentstreet/

No, the hours for the stores in the Southwest such as Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Reading etc are still showing opening hours
