No it isn't US only at this time.
It has been on the UK Apple site since last Tuesday. Come on... a little basic research before posting. All it takes in this case is logging into the various national online Apple stores.

Thanks so much! I was actually just about to head over there this morning to get mine because my old (non-iPhone) just died over the weekend, providing a convenient excuse. Even better? The first store in the screenshot is where I'm headed! Of course, I'll be sure to check the current info too.

It's a bummer this only covers Apple retail stores. If you want to open up an AT&T account with a discount applied you can't buy it from Apple :(.

This is no longer the case this year!

After driving an hour one way, I learned the hard way that the web page is inaccurate and apparently is NOT "updated hourly" as Apple claims on their site. I checked the page yesterday before I left home and 3 times on my way there. In fact, I checked it a couple minutes before walking in the store and it said they had it available. They did not. In fact, 3 hours later the page still said they had it in stock. 6 hours later it still said they had it. I called the store again after I left to see what was up and they were still out. So the web page is not a reliable indicator. In fact, I found it to be worse than useless. CALL BEFORE GOING!

I bet they are holding iPhone's for Friends/Family/VIP's. I see it happen all too often in the retail world.

I'm glad to see they adopted the circle/square aspect in addition to the colors. Colorblind Americans such as myself were unable to distinguish the difference before.

What am I waiting for? I'm waiting for my Verizon Wireless contract to come to an end in a few months!
What's the best way to buy an iPhone? At the Apple Store? AT&T store? Online? I'll need to port my current number over, too.

Anyone else notice the checker is written in PHP? Not often that apple exposes the underlying technology (in this case, in the URL).
