  • That is why a page you reload by hand almost always shows “unavailable”: what the status means
  • Restock by restock, every store in San Francisco: the sell-out times page
How this is measured

How does PickupChecker count a restock?

A restock here is apple.com flipping a configuration from “currently unavailable” to available for pickup at one of the 3 stores in San Francisco, seen by two of our checks in a row.

  • Every Apple Store in San Francisco every 15 seconds; the stores alerts point at every 5
  • A first “available” is asked again about a second later before it counts
  • A listing that disappears is confirmed on the next round
  • The first sighting of a store, a failed or timed-out request: never a restock, never “out of stock”
  • Hours and dates in each store's local time (Pacific time throughout San Francisco)
  • Only PickupChecker's own observations enter these numbers; the national page shows other trackers' launch-week reports as separate rows
  • Updated about every five minutes; the restock log itself is live

You are welcome to quote these numbers with a link to this page; PickupChecker is independent and not affiliated with Apple, and reads the same pickup availability anyone can see on apple.com, just far more often.
