The wait till 11 am is going to be agonizing now. 😂

I chose that time because I thought I would have to take an early lunch, and now I'm not as busy at work as I thought. That purple looks delish! So glad I chose it. Thanks for those who are updating.

I unfortunately have to wait until tomorrow to get my phone even though I'm scheduled to pick it up today. This week has been chaotic at work and yesterday my Fios service went out, so I'm a day behind.

At 5am PDT, there were in store stock availability today for most of the 14 colors.
While I was entering my card, the date slipped to tomorrow (Saturday). :(

Happy to report things went quite smoothly at the Rosenstraße store in Munich. Got there around 6:00 AM - there were probably around 50 people waiting.

They divided us into two lines, one for reservations and the other for walk-ins. For walk-ins, they simply took down our details and reserved a spot for us later in the day to come collect the phone (depending on availability). I suspect people that came in late probably got a spot for next week.

I’ll update again once I have the phone later this afternoon. ✌️
Wow what a great idea to not make everyone wait in life forever. Very cool. Hope actually getting the phone goes just as smoothly. :)

I hear you. It’s so earlier that my cat and partner are still sleeping, but I can’t anymore. Everybody else’s excitement is helping me with the wait. Happy for everybody!

So what’s your coping plan? :)
 
Store was dead when I went to pick mine up at 8:30. I was the only one in line.
Compared to last year at same store for the 13 at the same time, there was a 10 min line for in store pick ups outside the mall, then another 10 min right outside the store.
Interesting

So do you feel deflated? Relieved? Did you just pick up and leave the ghost town?

I pre-ordered a 14 Pro for in store pickup and it’s showing as “ready for pickup” however I’m now seeing that my stores have Pro Max available for instore pickup today and I’m having second thoughts.

If I cancel my current order with Apple and then reorder the PM, is the first one canceled immediately? I’m doing a trade in and don’t want it to cause any issues with T-Mobile.

Has your Apple order shipped ?

My introverted self is hoping for the same where I am. I plan to activate in-store, in case there are any issue with conversion from sim card to esim.

I can't activate at the office (wifi not available for phones), and at home we have wifi-calling but no cellular service, so after activating, I usually have to drive down the street for a cell signal to finish up the cell activation. Crazy in this day and age, but we do have an awesome mountain view to compensate for the lack of services. :)

I had instore pickup, not delivery. I'm scheduled to pickup today at 1:30 (even though it says ready for pickup now).
What you can do is buy the Pro Max instore.

Compare both.

Return the one you don't want thru whichever method you purchased: Apple return - they ship you a box; Apple Store - return in person.

So my pickup is scheduled for tomorrow but I had something come up. Anyone know if I go in later today (like 5pm) if they’ll release it early? (It says ready for pickup.
 
It's got a healthy amount of people waiting to pick-up. But definitely

Whatever stock there was in Toronto area, is now gone.

But looks like you have 7 days to pick-up, and also can grab one out of the daily trickle. If unsure, take your time. But also...it's just a tool. You can always change it later, or when iPhone 15 Pro comes out.
 
I had an order for a 256GB purple pro max that was scheduled for Oct 3-10 delivery. Was able to cancel that this morning and place a new order for the same phone for pickup from my Apple Store tomorrow. So excited!!

I’m doing a trade in, looks like the Apple stores don’t take the trade in, they still ship you a trade in kit.

My Apple Store took my trade in today. I was so glad I wouldn't have to ship!
