New Mac Mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro Now Available for Same-Day Pickup at Apple Stores

It is launch day for the new Mac mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro in the U.S., and same-day pickup is now available at many Apple Store locations across the country. The same is true for many other countries around the world.

October 2024 Macs
To order a product with Apple Store pickup, add the product to your bag on Apple.com, proceed to checkout, select the "I'll pick it up" option, enter your ZIP code, choose an available Apple Store location, and select a pickup date. Payment is completed online, and a valid government-issued photo ID and the order number may be required upon pickup.

Same-day Apple Store pickup is not available for custom Mac configurations with upgraded specifications ordered through Apple's online store.

As we recently reported, Apple's extended return policy is now in effect for the holiday shopping season. If you purchase a new Mac from Apple between today and December 25, it is eligible for return until January 8 in the U.S. and many other countries.

The Mac or the Crowd?

Everybody enjoy your new Macs. With the "gift" of 16GB RAM (without jacking the price), there's some true added value here now. Hopefully, Apple keeps that kind of thing going.
The crowd. No one in there at all.

Setting it up now ?

I ordered a custom config the day they were announced and was given a delivery date of Nov. 19. Then I got a notification from Apple saying it would arrive Nov. 15, and now UPS is saying it will arrive on Nov. 11. Yay!

Given problems with UPS and issues with porch pirates in general, I find the in-store pick ups to be bit of a blessing
