Is Apple's in-store pickup check working in Germany right now?

What does RestockWire see right now?

16 of 16 stores answered within the last minute; a typical store was read 6 s ago.

• Every Apple Store in Germany is read on a 15-second round; stores with alerts on them every 5 seconds.
• The store waiting longest was last answered 11 s ago.
• Every store has answered at least once.

How did the last 24 hours go?

Smoothly: no hour of the last 24 had 5% or more failed requests (0% overall).

Why does apple.com show every store as unavailable?

Usually because the configuration is sold out. Sometimes because Apple's lookup itself is struggling.

• **Sold out:** the lookup answers normally and simply lists no store. This page stays green.
• **Lookup trouble:** answers fail or come back empty for every store at once. This page turns amber or red within a minute.
• **Your session:** a stale apple.com tab can keep an old answer. Reload the bag page before you trust it.

What should you do when pickup checks stall?

Keep your alert on and wait. A stalled lookup recovers on its own, and restocks that land meanwhile still get confirmed.

• Leave the alert running: RestockWire keeps asking and alerts as soon as a confirmed restock comes through.
• Do not refresh apple.com every few seconds: it does not speed Apple's lookup up.
• Check this page again in five minutes. Rough patches seen so far lasted minutes to about two hours.
• When it turns green, open your store's page: the restock log shows anything that landed during the gap.

How is the status measured?

Freshness: the newest successful check of each store, from RestockWire's own pickup lookups.

• **Failures:** failed requests per hour in the round that covers this country, as logged by our pollers.
• **Verdict:** Working = 90% of stores answered in the last minute and under 5% failures; Not answering = under half.
