I went early for mine today. They allowed me to jump into the line. Then again, this was right at open. If there is a line they may or may not allow you to join it. Most likely varies from store to store.
Got a tip for us?

I decided a few days ago to upgrade my 12 Pro and take the plunge into a Pro Max. Thinking I would have to wait a while after missing the pre-order window for store pickup, I was surprised at the availability for exactly what I wanted this morning, Blue 15 PM for pickup at my nearby Apple store. Sadly, I work today and tomorrow, but looking forward to picking it up Sunday!
Picked up my order this morning! We asked since we wanted to purchase another iPhone 15PM, but they say no walk-in purchase, have to reserve for pick-up.
I am going to have to wait. I went and got scanned in but they said everybody else would go in front ( understandable). They just said I would have to get scanned in again closer to pick up time at 6:30
No. All available time slots for today were already assigned for impacted customers and assisting staff for these customers. They will turn you away.
I did the same for tomorrow but I checked my apple app and it says ready for pickup! so I'm not sure if I can go today or not...
Where I’m at there are hardly any Pro Max’s available for store pickup. If I wanted a Pro there are plenty available though (except natural titanium).
They were quite strict at my Store. I had an 11:00am appt and I was let into the line at 10:57.
I called the store and they said even though my appointment is for tomorrow I could go in today since it’s ready for pickup
Pro Max's were showing as available this morning but gone now with the closest available for pickup from me in Akron, OH. Pro's are available tomorrow, which I'm assuming means they're fulfilling pickups today and don't want people flooding the stores or are getting more shipments in.
Yeah I guess whatever says in the app it also shows up in their system so we can go today!
im sure you can but it may take longer depending on how your store handles but they will put you end of the line and if someone comes at their scheduled time they will be put up front. At least that is how apple store near me is doing
I went this morning there was no line for pre order pick up, only walk ins....
Well have about two and a half hours until my in-store appointment to pick up my phone, I gotta say today has been fun. Even though I am a little tired from being up since 5:50 AM EST and the Apple Store in store inventory taking FOREVER to come online, I am glad it seems most of us got a pre order.
This just reminded me of the actual camping out days and bonding with folks. Next year won’t be as stressful as I will only be upgrading to the Apple Watch ultra 3 then ha.

For those who were able to get an appointment to pick up, how quick was the process? Are there a ton of people or are they able to get you in and out fairly quickly?
Nice to see you were able to secure one. I’m thinking of doing ISPU next year, but if my UPS driver continue to deliver by 10am, I might stick with that. He left Landover at 9:09am and delivered my phone at 9:52am.
I went earlier today and my local Apple Store was PACKED and it was around 11 AM EST. My appointment time isn't until 6:30 pm EST but I tried to do it earlier but couldn't.
But the Apple employees were asking if you were doing trade in and if you want to set it up with them in store or just grab and go.
I was in and out of my Apple Store in ten minutes. Very quick and easy process.
When I want this morning it was very busy. They plucked out those of us with 8AM pick up and put us in a line and it went very quick. I'd imagine if your store operates the same it should be fast
