iPhone 6 Availability Update: This Website Will Show Where You Can an iPhone 6
Still looking for an iPhone 6 with no luck? Well, your luck is about to change--if you're willing to drive a bit. A website called iStockNow will show you in real-time which stores in the U.S. currently have the iPhone 6 in stock. And that's surely good news for many of your because even two weeks after launch, demand for Apple's latest smartphone is still sky-high. And for you iPhone 6 Plus lovers out there, yes, it will search for those too.
iStockNow lets you search by service provider (Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.), phone color and storage size, so you can find out where to get the exact combination of option that you want in your new iPhone. The site displays a map of the U.S. and as you enter in your search criteria the map will display green icons for stores that have your specified iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 combination in stock, and red icons for stores that don't have it in stock. iStockNow also displays map icons for both Best Buy and Target locations that have the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in stock.
Apple released the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus two weeks ago on Sept. 19 and saw record sales over the first weekend of the phones' launch, with a reported 11 million units sold in that short span of time. The record launch was tainted though as both iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 Plus were marred with scandals related to their performance and durability, respectively. iOS 8 was so bad in its first week that Apple rushed out a software update; however, for some the update eliminated their cell service and caused the Touch ID sensor to no longer function.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 Plus was accused by some of bending merely by being in users' pockets for too long. The story broke wide open when a YouTube user posted a video in which he seemingly was able to bend an iPhone 6 with his bare hands to the point where the phone had a huge kink in it.
So suffice it to say that it has been a rocky few weeks for Apple from PR standpoint, and this all coming on the heels of the iCloud hacking scandal in which several high profile celebrities had their iCloud accounts hacked only to have hackers then post compromising photos of some of the stars online.
But all of that aside, if you still want an iPhone 6, check out iStockNow.com. They'll show you exactly what's available right now in the U.S.
