The iPhone 8 release date is two days away, and you can no longer order an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus for in-store pickup at an Apple Store.
Until yesterday, you can still buy most iPhone 8 models online from the Apple Store, with in-store pickup on Friday, September 22.
You still have the chance to go to an Apple Store and queue up for an iPhone 8 on Friday, it’s not the best way to waste your time.
iPhone 8 in-store pickup options are closed for iPhone 8 launch day.
You can still order most iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 8 models for home delivery between September 27 and October 3. This is probably due to increased interest in the iPhone X, which goes on sale at the end of October and ships on November 3.
If you want a great iPhone 8 deal, you should skip the Apple Store. This is just one of the reasons not to buy the iPhone 8 at an Apple Store.
Shoppers still looking to buy an iPhone 8 this Friday should check with carriers for greater deals and better options trading. You can get up to $300 points for your old phone directly from the carrier and sell your old iPhone for more.
Apple Stores and carriers open early at 8am on Friday, September 22, and you can expect to see some lines, but not as much as we might expect for the iPhone X.
