01 / Local comparison
Start with the differences between stores
3 of the 3 stores have at least one recorded return in this window. Repeated returns at one location increase its event count, not the number of phones or your chance of buying one.
| Store | Returns | Days with returns | Last observed return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Washington Square | 33 | 7 | Nov 5, 11:57 PM |
| Apple Bridgeport Village | 14 | 4 | Nov 5, 9:50 AM |

02 / What returned
Compare configurations without predicting the next return
Color and storage totals combine observations across these stores. The same configuration can appear repeatedly. Use this table to understand the sample, then choose something you would actually buy.

24hWhere the pickup windows opened
Compare the breadth of recorded returns before choosing what to watch.
No confirmed returns in this window. The live stock board remains the place to check current availability.
One return is one store × configuration becoming available again. Frequent returns do not predict your chance of buying; an order is only confirmed by Apple.
03 / Timing
A distribution of hours, not a delivery schedule
The largest observed hour was 9–10 AM in Pacific time, with 9 returns. 29% fell inside the busiest two-hour window, 9–11 PM. Neither figure schedules a future delivery.
| Local hour | Returns | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 8–9 AM | 2 | 4% |
| 9–10 AM | 9 | 16% |
| 10–11 AM | 6 | 11% |
| 11 AM–noon | 6 | 11% |
| noon–1 PM | 7 | 13% |
| 1–2 PM | 3 | 5% |
| 2–3 PM | 5 | 9% |
| 9–10 PM | 9 | 16% |
| 10–11 PM | 7 | 13% |
| 11 PM–midnight | 2 | 4% |
For comparison, the national sample contains 3,607 returns. This local sample represents 1.6% of that total. Read the nationwide study.
04 / The daily ledger
Trace the sample one day at a time
Dates follow each store's local calendar. A zero means no confirmed return was recorded that day; it is not proof that a store received no phones. Today is an incomplete day.
| Date | Returns | Stores | Largest observed hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sat, Nov 7 · so far | 0 | 0 | — |
| Fri, Nov 6 | 0 | 0 | — |
| Thu, Nov 5 | 31 | 3 | noon–1 PM |
| Wed, Nov 4 | 9 | 3 | 2–3 PM |
| Tue, Nov 3 | 1 | 1 | noon–1 PM |
| Mon, Nov 2 | 1 | 1 | 9–10 PM |
| Sun, Nov 1 | 6 | 3 | 9–10 PM |
| Sat, Oct 31 | 4 | 3 | 9–10 AM |
| Fri, Oct 30 | 2 | 2 | 10–11 PM |
| Thu, Oct 29 | 2 | 2 | 10–11 PM |
05 / Listing duration
How long did completed pickup windows remain listed?
The timing sample includes 56 return-to-sellout intervals. Its median is 30 s: half of those measured intervals were no longer than that. Listings still open are excluded. The spacing between observations makes these upper bounds, not exact reservation deadlines.

iPhone Duo restocks in Oregon: FAQ
What does this record cover in Oregon?
The comparison covers 3 Apple Stores. Each availability observation belongs to an exact model, storage and color at a specific store. A total across locations does not mean the nearest store has your choice, and an unavailable data connection is not evidence of a sell-out.
How should I compare pickup options for iPhone Duo in Oregon?
Set a realistic travel boundary first. Compare the exact configurations inside it and keep a second reachable store in your shortlist. Use the live store details for the current observation and the history only to understand what has happened before.
Does a recorded return mean a new shipment arrived in Oregon?
No. A return means one store–configuration pair changed from unavailable to available in the recorded pickup observations. Cancellations or other stock changes can also reopen a listing. The record does not identify shipments or count physical phones.
What will an alert watch in Oregon?
One alert watches one store and one exact configuration. A matching confirmed return can trigger delivery while your plan covers that rule. Source checks, synchronization and notification delivery add delay, so an alert is not a reservation or a promise that stock will remain available.
