Despite being sold out online, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will be available for walk-in purchase on September 25th, except for customers in five unlucky states.
Apple revealed in a press press release that customers in Hong Kong, China, Japan and five U.S.states won’t be able to walk-in to a local Apple Store at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, September 25th to buy the best iPhone Apple’ ever created.
Here are the five states that won’t sell you an iPhone on launch day:
- Alaska
- Delaware
- Montana
- New Hampshire
- Oregon
Why isn’t Apple letting people in these states walk-in to stores on September 25th to buy the iPhone 6s? It’s all thanks to the so-called ‘sharks’ that take advantage of the tax-free iPhone sales and resale the devices overseas at a huge markup.
Apple is no longer taking reservations for the iPhone 6s, so if you didn’t already get a spot or pre-order online, there’s no way to get a new from Apple on launch day.
Online orders for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are already sold out, with shipping times on most versions pushed back 3 – 4 weeks or longer. Thanks to the unprecedented demand, Apple says it’s on track to beat last year’s sales record, so if you want to walk-in to your store and buy one on the 25th, you better get there early.

This is false, Montana and Oregon apple specialist swill have limited quantities of phones available on launch day.
Actually as I understand it this is correct. They will only have the phones for the pre-orders to pickup on Friday. Other stores held back about 1/4 of their slots for same day but not those states. The issue is that apparently while online restricts you to 2 reservations per Apple ID at the stores its two at a time with no upper limit so long as there is stock and slots. So resellers etc would have a field day at such stores.
Yeah I hope it’s false; otherwise it’s probably really because neighboring states like Washington and California are pissed because they want everybody paying their sales tax. I got my pre-order in so it doesn’t affect me.
GCI, a local cell carrier in Alaska, is launching the iPhone this Friday along with AT&T, Verizon.
This is very false.

The fact there isn’t even an Apple store in Montana (according to Apple’s website) might have something to do with the fact you can’t walk into an Apple store there and buy an iPhone on Friday.
