The page is updated regularly throughout the day and new stock is updated every night at midnight local time so go there @midnight to see if your model is available and schedule a pickup for the next day.
I haven't seen any 6+ yet in Calgary but the usually have most of the 6's show up at midnight. The Space Grey models are usually available. |
Thanks for this.
Reserved a Space Gray 64GB last night at 1:00 am, and picked it up at 11 am today.
I was kinda sickened by the dirty scalpers. There was 2 white guys in line, me and some other guy, and a sea of Chinese people (easliy over 50) buying as many unlocked phones as they could carry. Whole families were there. Many had reserved on 4 and 5 emails addresses, and they were limiting people to 2 per person. One was shouting in Chinese at the employees because Apple wouldn't let them game the system. And I did see hand offs happening in the hallway next to the Apple store. I asked one of the scalpers what the deal was, and why this is so important to them and they are getting a $3-500 premium shipping them back to China.
This is why Apple needs to have a unilateral global release dates. For the average schmucks like us on this board that just want the new phone for personal use, it isn't fair to make a reservation, and still stand in line for 1 hour waiting for a bunch of scalpers to argue with the staff.
That or have a 1 phone per customer limit, and a dirty scalper line where they can have as many leftovers as they want once the real customers have been served.
