Now make Genius Bar reservations up to 2 days in advance
If you've every tried to get a spot at an Apple Store genius bar during a busy time, you know how frustrating it can be. Fortunately, you can set up an appointment using Apple's concierge service (either on a Mac at the store or online at home). But until recently, unless you were a ProCare member ($99/year), you could only make an appointment for later the same day. Fortunately, however, Apple has finally realized that it would make much more sense if you could schedule appointments further in advance. They have opened scheduling up to two days in advance for "guests" and 14 days in advance for ProCare members.
To make a reservation, just go to the Genius Bar page and select your local Apple Store from the drop-down list.
Thanks, Alex!

Finally - that was a much needed change.

How many people get the ProCare package? I don't, I'm curious what the typical demographics are. The extended reservation seemed out of place because the people that generally need an extra level of support need it sooner, not later.

yeah....this has been in place for a few weeks now and it kinda bugs me because I would log on at midnight and get full choice for that day...

I've been trying to get an appointment for the last week at the Fashion Valley store and still not getting through. If they have extended it to 2 days, it's either not working or they're extremely busy.
