It's found my preorder but won't let me actually go through to the final purchase point. Just mashing the 'Review Your Order' button.

Presume it's just the high demand right now.

I’ve tried just redoing my preorder between attempts to load my saved preorder and the trade in service is down.

Finally got both iPhones ordered, one through AT&T, one through the Apple Store in iOS. Both confirmed for launch day deliveries.

Surprisingly, the AT&T experience was much, much better than the iOS one. It's usually the other way around.

Finally got in at 8:18 or so, my preorder was nowhere to be found. Shipping was already pushed back a few weeks (Natural 256 Pro Max) but in store pickup everywhere around me was 9/22 so I went that route. How annoying, had to log in at least 4 times.

I’ve never had any issues with the ATT website in the past 5-6 years.

Ordered a white pro max and a titanium pro max for my wife and myself. Hers is white and gets here Friday. I got a titanium one and it gets here 3 weeks later. Guess I know what the popular color is.

Same. Used safari on my laptop finally.

Natural Titanium 256 ordered!

edit: looks like it went to trading in my iphone 11 Pro at apple. I'll be able to change that to AT&T right?

Does Apple Store open early on launch days? My window is 8am on the 22nd but the mall doesn’t open until 10am.

Worked on my laptop while my App Store app on my iPhone app crapped out. Got it financed on my Apple Card, ordered on the Apple Store. Not sure what to expect for carrier activation since they provided no details on it.

They seem to have integrated the trade in workflow on their store: “we’ll give you this much cash or providers will give you up to $1000 in bill credits,” such that I guess the same service is handling for everyone?

The last time I used the Apple Store to preorder a phone, it was a pretty breezy affair. I spent 25 minutes having things error out before I was able to complete an order this time. It’s still supposedly arriving next Friday despite the time it took processing, so I wonder if Apple’s servers are just poo poo.

It was also down for 15 minutes or so for almost everyone else, so there wasn't a giant rush ahead of you.

My order is timestamped 5:01 PST. :colbert:

Granted I still feel weird about it considering it errored into a successful order, but whatever.

Sounds like official Apple Store was a shitshow this year. T-Mobile's website was a breeze, surprisingly. I sat in a queue for ~2 minutes when I signed on, but after that it was smooth sailing -- responsive and no errors. I'll probably order a couple more phones this afternoon when family in other time zones get up.

Weird because the app has been butter in years passed.

Probably won’t be dealing with it next year. I’ve been on the upgrade plan for a few years but told myself I’d stop whenever I got one that would let me ditch lightning cables.

Gonna pay it off next year and keep it until the wheels fall off.

Yeah me too probably. The yearly upgrades have been fairly boring, the last real exciting release was what, the iPhone X?

It's just how phones are now, we've seemingly hit a ceiling with innovation for the time being. Might as well ride it out

So tell me, goons that left the upgrade program, what’s the deal with the included Apple Care +? Does it end when I decide not to renew the plan next year?

I guess my plan is to go caseless until that expires, pay the phone off and then cover it with something.

Ha. Same. I am more nervous about sending my old phone in after 8 days (of the 14 you get) than it being stollen.

Well now I’m sitting here wondering what the difference is between the cost of the upgrade program and buying the phone with 2 years of coverage outright. It’s like within a dollar of each other.

Is there any other reason other than trade-in value of the phone you bought in full maybe being more than 50% its original value?

Last time I ordered a phone the delivery guy said the delivery address was unreachable despite this being a blatant fabrication and then it sat at their delivery center for pickup for a week thanks to my schedule.

I’m sure it will happen again this time but that’s still less of a pain than picking it up from the Apple Store.

Also when I mailed in my old phone they claimed the box was empty and did a 6 month long investigation where they reviewed fedex tapes or whatever and finally concluded that someone at fedex stole the phone after I dropped it off. Didn’t get my refund for like 8 months.

It's good for the length of the loan, so 24 months. After that I think you can just pay Apple for yearly coverage or w/e

I preordered on Apple, and then also preordered on AT&T Firstnet since I realized the Apple version doesn't come with a Firstnet e-sim. It's not letting me cancel my Apple order for some reason? Presumably I'll be able to cancel later today right?

Had no trouble with the Apple Store app. Got a blue 256 gb Pro for pickup next Friday. (I'd prefer delivery, but we're heading out of town in the evening and I don't want to risk missing it.)

There is plenty of launch day availability at London stores while delivery is backed up well into October.

I’d have liked a Pro Max but the regular 12 just about fits in the external pocket of my favourite jacket, so the Pro it is.
