iphone 16 Pro Max inquiry

Hello! I live in Niles, IL. And iphone 16 is not available for pickup at any nearest store on my location. I am leaving the states in a week and i can’t even place an order online. Can you please let me know when will it be available at Apple Old Orchard, Apple Northbrook and Apple Lincoln Park?

This is a user to user only forum. We don’t work for Apple nor have access to Apple’s inventory system. Typically it takes weeks after a new phone release before stores have stock for walk-in customers. Since you evidently don’t reside in the US, you should NOT buy your phone in the US. iPhone is sold regionally. No new iPhone sold in the US has a physical SIM slot. Does your carrier in your country support eSIM? iPhone warranty is NOT international. Are you prepared to fly back to the US if your US purchased iPhone needs warranty support? It’s NEVER a good idea to buy your phone in another country.
