My point is that if you pre-order as soon as it goes online you're probably even more likely to get the model that you want on launch day, and it will take several minutes instead of several hours!
Do u mean i can pre order online and pick up on launch day?

I wouldn't be surprised if there's 0 stock in stores on launch day. Day 1 stock could be reserved for preorders only, given the supply constraint rumors. Of course, all speculation.

I highly doubt Apple did not stock pile new iPhone a head of time of the release date in every Apple store. Millions of boxes will be air shipped over night to Apple stores across the globe on the day of the announcement.
Cell phone carriers will be a week behind the release date, but Apple stores will be ready to go first thing in the morning.

Which Apple store had the Jet Black iPhone 7 series in stock during release day?

They haven’t been ready with every model in every store since... ever maybe.

Didn't that happen last year? Was anyone able to walk into an Apple Store on launch day and buy a new phone? (Except for those who preordered and chose in store pickup or AUP)

No idea, I didn't pay much attention to apple products in the past.

They were very hard to get hold of in stores for a while. And if there are shortages of the OLED model as expected, no way all the stores will be fully stocked.

Would you be happy with a total redesign, but even thicker bezels than we currently have and Touch ID at the very top of the back?
