My 4s finally gave out last night, I've been trying to make it hold on until my order from Rogers of a 32GB gold arrived, but it still hasn't even shipped yet. I walked into Best Buy today and got a 32GB white and silver. As much as I wanted gold, I am happy with the silver and it's going to spend 100% of its life in a case.

There was a post showing a website to check availability. Hope that helps you find one at a local Apple store.

LOL!!!!! That's more if an effort than I'm ready to undertake! Actually I need to go to the store directly because for the first time ever I'm going to turn my previous phone for a new one. I want to use the trade in program.

Hope you get yours soon! I'll just have to wait.

It was actually the easiest way to track down a phone, refreshing a site vs calling around or physically showing up at stores. I'm not waiting on an ordered iPhone anymore. I canceled that order. On Friday I placed my order at 655 and it was available for pick up at 756. I got my iPhone that same night at 850.

Since you wanna do a trade in placing an order for in store pick up won't work for you.

Good luck I hope you get your phone soon.

Had a friend come over last night, he had a 5s 64GB. Said he walked into our local AT&T store, they had gotten in 10 silver/white. He picked up one for him & his wife. So they are starting to show up looking like.
My sister and her MIL were able to walk right in to the ATT store by them on Saturday and get a white/silver and a white/gold without a single issue.

I was able to walk into my local apple store and was lucky they had a couple in stock. Was able to trade my 4s for space gray 16gb. Check the apple store after 1030pm they usually have updated inventory and you should be able to buy and pickup the next day.

I walked into Best Buy last week and got a white/silver 64gb 5s without any problem. Took advantage of the old phone trade in deal with an old Blackberry I had laying around and got a $100 discount.

Now I'll sell my 64gb iPhone 5 and probably break even...or maybe be a few bucks ahead?

Either way, I'm digging the Touch ID.

Lol glad to know I'm not the only one that gets a kick out of still checking and finding phones even though I've since gotten mine.
