InStock Tracker Research Team

Last updated November 9, 2026

The InStock Tracker Research Team writes every page on this site. We are the people who run InStock Tracker, an independent US iPhone stock tracker operated by DK825, LLC. We are not affiliated with Apple.

Where our numbers come from

Our own checks of Apple's public in-store pickup availability, at every US Apple Store, around the clock. We log each change. A restock is one color and storage size coming back for pickup at one store. Apple publishes no stock counts or restock schedules, so our forecasts are predictions, not promises.

How each kind of page is made

Live stock, city, store and forecast pages are built automatically from our checks. The numbers update as new checks come in. The date on each page shows when it was last built.
Guides follow our written style guide. Every number in a guide comes from our own data or from a source listed at the end of the guide. Every guide is reviewed by the InStock Tracker team before it's published.
Comparisons use each rival's own website, read on the date shown. We run InStock Tracker, so we're not neutral.
