iPad Pro Share the results of your retail store Apple Pencil stock check

S197Mike said:
Now that I heard it firsthand from you when we call to order the Apple pencil or keyboard on the automated service it ask you if it's for home or business use. I was a little concerned that they may May tailor towards more business oriented people, to get them their accessories since they are most likely the ones using them. The only thing that disappoints me there is that because this is such a new product not all business people are wanting to go out and buy this immediately and are awaiting for better apps geared towards the iPad Pro. But I am very glad that you you were as persistent as I have been in the past and were able to get one for yourself.

The only way we are going to get a hold of an Apple pencil or keyboard is by calling ahead and checking more than once daily if you are able to do so

It's such a pain in the ass-I've called my stores daily and I"m getting the same spiel over and over. I'm surprised that Apple is becoming ever more exclusive-makes me kind of want to go back to...anyone else.

Stopped by the Cerritos, CA store to pickup a Smart Cover and saw they had 3 Pencils on display.

Can anyone report in on Boston stock? I keep hearing that Boylston and Cambridgeside have them but no luck so far.

Seeing how hard a time people are having here I picked up an extra Pencil that I will sell at cost (incl. tax, shipping, and PayPal fee). DM me if interested.

I don't know how to DM as I don't see that option when clicking on your name but I am interested! I'll buy it off you!

You might be able to make it up to Dayton and get one haha. idk how many they have left but they had a decent amount at 2.

Dayton is the Greene store right? that's a good 45 minutes for me so I'll loose 2 hours. I already lost an 45 minute going to Kenwood and back. I'm at work testing a unit so I really can't leave until later.
 
3:05 EST there's at least 8 - 10 on the shelf at the Philadelphia Walnut Street store. Staff seems to be aware that they are in stock.

Online chat guy told me they were in stock...ran to the store immediately.

Chat support is telling me that there's no inventory at the Bellevue Square Mall store in Seattle area.

Tacoma store apparently DOES have the pencil, no number given, no keyboard case. Really bummed, I'm working in Bellevue, I'm sure Tacoma will be out by the time I could even arrive there.

Went by the King Street Apple Store in Charleston. They had 4 smart keyboard covers but Zero apple pencils. They did say they had a few earlier in the morning but went quickly. They did say they would be getting more and more each week but tried to get me to order one online.

Yea thats the one. I bet they will randomly sell out. I don't think there are a lot of pro users up here with iPad pros so i think i demand is much smaller than Cincy

Skokie had zero as of 12:26 (unless they lied to me when I went in).

When I called about 12:40 PM there was no mention of Skokie having any inventory only Michigan Avenue so there is a chance it was sold out by the time you got there

I feel like looking for the Apple pencil and keyboard is like playing whack a mole you don't know when they will pop up and they disappear just as quickly

It's still just mind boggling to me that so many people want it store shipments are selling out so quickly. This has to mean that random people in the store are also buying them. I don't think the stylus is such a niche product anymore - Apple might have sparked an interest in people who never cared about them before.

Thanks for confirming Skokie is out, I live in the city but work in Evanston so I was about to waste time heading over there after work - now I can avoid suburban traffic hell.

Think I'm going to work in the downtown office next week since it seems like Michigan Ave is getting them pretty regularly - my office is right down the street like two blocks away.
 
Yea, I'm really surprised that there are that many iPad Pros being bought, and people able to (and lucky enough to) be there so soon after they get the Pencils in...plus wanting to buy them. I wonder if scalpers are scooping them up?

Northbrook had them Tuesday, and Skokie today. I missed both.

If stores are getting a handful, it doesn't take much to sell out. That said, there is probably pent up demand for an official Apple Pencil because traditional stylus accessories for older iPads have been pretty common since day 1.

Some people are picking up more than one. And  is not providing many in stock. I picked up one yesterday... Shoulda picked up two. But I actually sold one today for $200. I've never been the kind of person to sell to make a profit. But the way  has poorly handled this... I figured why not.

Ugh. Been so busy with work lately that I couldn't keep up with all the excitement. Need just the keyboard here in West Burbs. Naperville seems to never get anything in...

I might try and check the store in Dayton to see if they have any today.

Guess you don't mean Dayton, Ohio because they don't have an Apple Store. The closest store would be Beavercreek, Ohio or Cincinnati, Ohio. Just posting so Dayton Ohio folks don't go out looking for a store in Dayton.;)
