It says you have to reserve after 9pm for pick-up the next day but so far there hasn't been any stock to reserve.”
I have been checking this "UK reserve and pick up page" daily and if it is correct then no store in the UK has had any stock of any model of iPhone 4S available since they launched the reserve and pickup page.
I have checked before 21.00 and after right through to midnight and sometimes after, I have cycled through the list of stores and nothing!
I don't believe that every store in the UK has not had any stock available for three days, I think that the website checker is probably just for a specific ring-fenced allocation.
I know from ringing my nearest store that stock was available, but was "for contract customers only"; I don't want a contract I just want to pay outright!
I am going to try the direct approach and walk in store.
I am an Apple shareholder and it is particularly galling to see the stock price drop because sales of iPhone missed targets last quarter, only to hear Tim Cook in the earnings conference call say that although sales of the iPhone 4S were breaking records and they have “no supply issues”.
