Users continue to experience difficulty pre-ordering the iPhone 4 through the AT&T and Apple websites, as Web servers appear to be crushed by demand for the new device.
However, users are experiencing almost instantaneous success in reserving the iPhone 4 for in-store pickup using the newly released Apple Store iPhone app.
The app allows you to quickly select the iPhone 4 from its main screen, then uses your location to find nearby Apple retail stores for pickup.
You can then check that your reservation is confirmed by tapping the “Stores” icon at the bottom of the screen, then tapping “Reservations.”
