If you live near a store it’s not that hard to get. I’ve gotten a lot of pros for family and friends and just picked up a silver 256 pro yesterday. It just requires you to be diligent and check the website a lot throughout the day. Particularly on weekdays when they get shipments. Keep in mind though that they sometimes only get a dozen units maybe and it can sell fast.

I’m in Poland. Trying to ship the phone to my mom’s place in the US. I’m definitely out of luck.

Hm… if your mom lives near an Apple Store maybe you could change the region on the website to check for store stock in her area. Then purchase it and set her as the pick up person. Although no idea if this would work. I’ve been able to do this for other countries but I’ve never actually bought it. Plus I’m not sure if your credit card would charge you a conversion fee.

Yeah, I checked availability and came up with nothing in the 9 closest stores. I guess I’ll just keep checking.

Idk about other stores in the country but the stores around my usually check in their stock at around the hours between 1pm-3pm

I just have the page with the model I’m looking for open and refresh it every 10-15 minutes while I’m working
