iPhone 11 release date

Greetings! I was wondering if it is possible to buy the iphones on release day at the apple retail stores? Or only people who pre ordered get the iPhones on that day? Is there a different stock available for walk-ins?

Apple Stores will have some VERY limited stock on hand on launch day. If you want to try your luck, it would be advisable to get in line outside your Apple store before the sun comes up. You can try, but don't be surprised or disappointed if you're told they have nothing available. You can also see if your carrier will have any or even Best Buy. But launch day without a pre-order is perhaps the single hardest day ever to get your hands on one.


Millions of people have already pre-ordered and the priority is to get the pre-orders filled.


I pre-ordered the iPhone 11 Max 25gb Midnight Green within the first two minutes of pre-orders going live yesterday morning. In that two minute period, my iPhone was no longer available for launch day delivery. Mine will come a week later. That was within the FIRST TWO MINUTES.


Good luck though.........
