Hi

I just went on itunes to order the new iphone and it says 3 weeks?

Do I have a better chance of getting one today for example if I just walk into the Apple store?

thanks

Doubt it... if I were you I'd phone you're local apple store and ask them when they're getting a new batch in. But that stock will go quick no doubt, so if you can't be bothered with queuing up and maybe not even getting one when a new batch comes in, I'd just order online.

I don't think so, that was about the time quoted for an iPad when I tried to get one. 2 apple stores including the regent st store did not have any, I was put on a waiting list and about 2 weeks later they emailed me and I went to pick it up.

unreal - who would have thought that the istore could run out!

They sold 1.7 million in 3 days. Apple have already said they underestimated the demand.

If I pre-ordered one now would they take the money now or when its sent out?
thanks

They pre-authorise the money now, so it will show up in your account as an unavailable amount, so Apple can check you have the money, but it doesn't actually leave your account until it is dispatched.

thanks.
ill order one now.

You may even get it earlier than 3 weeks if you're lucky... depends how demand changes.
