So now that the Store Pickup is back, does this mean Apple got a huge new stock in the US and ready to start selling again. Does this mean that orders that are stuck at Processing with expected shipping date of October might see their iPhone 5S in few days, like in less than 4 days for those who paid Express a Shipping?

I was in New York city this weekend, and on the way home stopped at the (relatively) new Apple store right at Grand Central Station (which by the way one of the Apple employees said it was the largest store in NOrth America in square footage, I didn't know it was there! Opened December 2011). Anyway, I asked, and ended up buying a new 64GB space grey AT&T 5S! My sale person said thy have then in stock every day now, pretty much.

Yes it is a good indicator that stock levels will start to return to normal.

I would say no, that it isn't a clear indicator. I used in store pickup tonight to get my gold iPhone 5S 64GB. They didn't have any gold in the other sizes, and only had 16 in silver. I didn't look at space gray because I don't care for it.

Yeh, both the Gold and Silver are selling fast. I ordered my Silver 32 GB few days ago and still processing :/

What I don't understand is this; every year I say I'm NOT getting the latest iPhone. Then a week\two weeks after the release, I'm scrambling to find a device online or in a shop. Honestly, I have issues :(

Haha. I did the same thing. We'll a fee days after it was announced I was unsure. I actually told myself I'm not getting on, until the sudden " apple fan" hit me. Then I worked my **** off and bought a silver 64 gig 5s that I'll be returning for a gold lol. Stupid old me.

It sounds promising but who knows. You would think they would try to prioritize their orders they've Already got from people like yourself. I'm waiting on my local Sprint store to fulfill my reserve order. Hopefully apple starts getting some stock out to other people besides their own retail stores.

Yes. Same. Did not order, did not line up for launch. told myself I did not need it, would not go out of my way to get one.

alas, I could not stop thinking about it. Tried for in-store pickup last Mon (before they disabled it again). And got one. It was even sweeter than I could ever have imagined.

Seems to be working so far. I set up a pick up today for a 32GB unlocked gray. Order was processed at 6:34am and pickup email got to me before 8:00am. Apparently I was the first person to use the feature for the 5S as I was at the door at 9:00am and the employees were asking how long confirmation took. As I was there I heard a guy outside asking one of the employees what they had in stock and it was nothing but space grays in 32 and 64. GSM only.
