You don't. There is no way to make appointments for shopping, nor do you need to make one. Appointments are only for service.


Just go to a store, and tell them you want to buy something.

  1. Can you only register for same-day appointments through the website or app?
  2. When does the registration open for a day (if they only take the same-day appointments)? After midnight? 5 am?


I tried to make an appointment for today, but it is all booked, and I can't make one for tomorrow or the next day. It simply will not let me proceed because I cannot select my store. Thank you!

The stores are full all the time, with people buying things. You can buy online and probably have your choice in your home in a day or two. Or call and work with a product specialist to configure your purchase.


In case you haven’t noticed, we are deep into a worldwide pandemic that is killing thousands of people A DAY, including 279,000 Americans at latest count (source: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6). The number of daily new cases is higher over the past month than at any time since the start of the pandemic. This is clearly the most serious world crisis since World War II, and more Americans have died than in the combined World Wars. This has inconvenienced millions of people, from major inconveniences such as being laid off, not able to get enough food, or pay rent, or being evicted, to minor inconveniences such as not being able to get a convenient appointment at an Apple store.

Have you actually tried to visit an Apple store? They do exactly as you suggest. They limit the number of people (by requiring appointments), wear masks, and stay 6 feet apart. And with the restrictions you suggest the stores are FULL, and even have a line outside the store of people with appointments, waiting for shoppers to leave after finishing their appointments.


A few days ago I was in Manhattan and walked by the flagship Fifth Avenue store (the one pictured below). There was a line about a city block long of people with appointments, and the store was absolutely full of people 6 feet apart, wearing masks. However, a few blocks away the Microsoft store had more staff than customers. So maybe you should get a Windows phone.
