Chicagoland area here too. I’m seeing the same thing. None available until the end of November or early December? So much for having them in stock....
 
You should still be able to purchase and reserve before the walk in. They actually prefer that too.

If a single model was available anywhere. I’m in PA and checked all PA stores, NJ, NY and a few other areas. I find it very hard to believe not a single Apple Store is going to have even a 64GB WiFi model available in store. We couldn’t do in-store pickup day one for xs and Xs Max but stores had plenty.

I’m guessing Apple Stores will have stock available for walk-ins but they aren’t allowing in-store pickup due to tighter supplies.

Just placed my “pickup in store today” order for an 11” 256gb w/LTE, an Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio for pickup today. South Jersey, BTW.

Normally I would say yes to this. If the message simply stated not available today.

But it’s literally giving a date for in store pick up which concerns me lol
 
In Arizona just placed separate orders for 1TB 12.9” and 512GB 11”, both available today. Going to walk in at opening and decide then :)

Everyone in New England check again I am seeing them available today
 
In store pickup for today placed for 1TB SG 12.9 LTE in DC (well, Arlington, VA). Cancelled my Verizon Wireless order which was supposed to be delivered today per my order confirmation email yet it still hadn’t processed or shipped by this morning
 
In store pick up went live.. originally was saying end of December but then when you refreshed it, available today. Picking up a 256gb space gray wifi + cell 12.9... excited. Tampa Bay Area
 
I was just able to order. In just a couple of minutes availability changed from end of November to pick up today.
 
New York Here! Just opened up picked up everything IPad Pro 12.9 LTE 256gb and Apple Pencil :) get them while it’s hot boys!
 
Cool. Have an 11" with keyboard case and pencil arriving today. Really undecided about which size to go with so I reserved a 12.9" and keyboard case for store pickup today.

Chicagoland area. Just placed an order for my wife 12.9 256gb WiFi space gray for pickup today. She’s gonna get hers before the ones we ordered get delivered most likely.
