LA - century City - 1301 hours pst

just called again (sorry thats all il can do at the moment) and got a different cat. he said they were sold out. i asked him to look and he checks the freaking apple store app. shows they are out. i say someone just stated there were 9 there. he says they were all sold then as he does not see any.

this is my first ever apple product and this process trying to get an accessory is the cats pants...

Just got back from Century City! There were 4 left! They were so surprised when I walked up to them ready to purchase! If you head there now I think you can still snatch one! I was tempted to buy 2 but decided to do the nice thing and leave it for others :)
 
Called my nearest store yesterday & got an immediate no. Called again a little while later and got a different person who said "they had some earlier" but weren't sure how many.

Tempted to call into the Madison store just to see, but it's almost 2 hours from me. I'd be afraid I'd get there & they'd sell out. Or I'd have been misinformed. Perhaps I'd better just wait.
 
Picked up two from Pentagon city in Alexandria, VA just now.

@Joell27 Any chance you have any intel for a fellow DMV area resident? I've tried G-town, Clarendon, Pentagon City. I'm a UX designer and really my primary use case is sketching and notes. The iPP has not-much-joy w/o the Pencil, for me.

Thanks in advance. In the unlikely event you'd want to sell one, I'd buy, ha! But in the meantime, simply looking for any info on stocking you may have heard. TIA!
 
Just picked up a pencil at NYC Grand Central. Only had 32gb iPad Pro so I'll pop in tomorrow and see if I can get a 128gb LTE model. Also no keyboard covers in stock.
 
my question is simply this:

why are these cats lying/unwilling to say over the phone they have these in stock? if they are indeed on the shelf what is the harm in saying so? good grief ive never experienced this kind of drama over a bloody piece of kit.

I was told twice by my store that none were in stock. Went in anyways and walked away with one. Its worth a shot!

Check the app and do in store pickup... they usually update about an 30 minutes to an hour after opening.

I know its ridiculous. The people on the line don't know anything they are just following the script
