OP, check apple website and app constantly tomorrow. There’s no way Apple hasn’t stockpiled a decent amount of phones in anticipation for Black Friday. Even with a shortage, it’s possible they’ve been only drip feeding stores a few units so that they can have a decent amount for tomorrow. There’s gonna be a lot of people beginning their shopping and coming into the stores and so they are likely going to have pros tomorrow so as to not disappoint customers.

I’ll report back with results since I’m also looking for a phone for someone who doesn’t live near a store.

Did you try restarting the phone?

Just googled the different options quickly for you:

Easiest option would be to press one of the volume buttons + on/off, and wait for 30 seconds.

If that doesn’t work, there is a forced restart: quickly press and release „volume up“, do the same with „volume down“, then press the on/off switch and keep it pressed until the Apple logo appears.

Good luck!

All you can do is check the store every day multiple times a day. Sometimes they get a few in for pickup. So far I’ve had the best luck around lunch time.

Because it is the better option, given it is an option. Which is why I say “better” and “option”. Not saying you should never use it. But in the majority of circumstances, Wi-Fi is a better option than Ethernet for iPhones.

How can you say it’s a “better option” when you know nothing about the situation? OP must be asking about Ethernet for a reason. I have connected my phone to a network using an Ethernet adapter several times. Obviously for a reason
