apple's in-store priority list

That would seem to indicate that Apple are not allocating stock to stores based on when reservations were made. According to the White City store (London, UK), they are still only dealing with reservations made on 24th June.

I hope, at the very least, Apple are allocating stock based on the number of reservations made as a whole. For example, sending a set percentage of outstanding stock to all stores rather than a set number of units to all stores. Otherwise, stores like White City could have people waiting for much longer than other stores which either received more stock, took less reservations or stores that are considered higher priority (such as flagship stores like Regent Street).

I want to replace mine, since only 0.55% users report the reception problem. Maybe the new ip4 will be from the 99.45% batch :]

glad to see the list is going down though...i ordered from the apple birmingham bull ring store on the 9th....so if thats anything to go by, i have roughly 2 weeks left to wait for that list......i wish they would just state what kind of quantites they are getting and how big the list is......ive also ordered from the online store which quotes the 3rd of august for dispatch and the 10th for delivery.......

What time of day are people receiving their pickup emails?

I remember when I reserved my iPad, the pickup email came in the morning before the store even opened.

It seems as though most people get their emails before those particular Apple stores open in the morning. But I don't have any real proof of that.

Went on the priority list at Apple's 5th Ave. store in Manhattan on July 6th.

13 days later and still waiting...

hey, so i signed up for the priority list on monday at my local store here in NJ for the iPhone 4 and have yet to hear anything back. has anyone had any luck with said priority list? i can't get a straight answer out of anyone re:if the phones are even coming into stores, haha.

Do you mean you reserved a phone at the store?

I reserved one here in LA. It took about a week and a half until I received an email telling me the phone had arrived.

I got my iPhone today at the local Best Buy. They only had 32GB ones in stock (I had reserved a 16GB), but the lost productivity time from checking emails and pining for my iPhone was worth the extra price. Good luck to everyone else.

I signed up for the priority list here in Vegas for the 16GB on July 3rd...... and still waiting. Granted I did get an email about a week in saying be patient.

I'm just back from picking my iphone4 up in Birmingham uk to find i'd got another email to pick up from leicester too - I've cancelled it.

I received my email from B'ham at 10 20 and from leicester at 2 50pm
so there doesn't seem to be a pattern

Even though I'm on the East Coast, I will assume then that I have no more than 3 more days on this darn list! (16 so far).

What store did you get your phone through? I've been on the list at Culver City since July 5.

The Grove.

I think I made the reservation on the 5th as well.
