    Can you buy an iPhone in-store to be shipped when it becomes available?

    Essentially, I've been told I can only sign up for the iUP program in-store, but the iPhone Plus 128GB Black is currently listed as shipping in 3-4 weeks. So, I'm wondering if I can go in store and still buy it, despite there not being any in-stock.
