Apple.com 6/17 Online Reserve

[mmonroe]

Anyone going to attempt to reserve online tonight to pick up the device in store!?

 

[blacksunset]

Is it meant to be midnight or 8am? Heard both variations.

I seriously hope they have better stock.

So pissed, ordered my iPhone at 12.03am, nothing here, lined up and was 4th in line at Apple Store and no Apple Watch except in one color and band. Ridic.

 

[vishalc]

Yes only 1 and a half hours left!!

 

[djcingular]

I thought it was 8am, not 12midnight

 

[mmonroe]

It's saying 12:01a !? But not if they mean PST I think it does since the pre-orders started PST time..

US one says 12:01am. https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/US/en_US/reserve/iPhone/availability?channel=1

 

[vishalc]

They changed to 12:01 AM very recently

#preorder Pt. 2

Haha, so the only thing we're unsure about is the timezone, or is it local?

 

[vishalc]

Well the UK page says 6 am and US page says 12AM. So idk

 

[blacksunset]

2.5 hours until 6am in UK? So 12.01CT?

 

[vishalc]

Possibly I'm not sure though. It should be either pacific or eastern time zone. This is weird

 

[nikster0029]

Is it pacific or eastern? I bet pacific since apple is out in california

I'm trying to talk with a rep now

I'm trying to talk with a rep now

As far as I can tell it is local time (usually when Apple leaves a time zone off it is because it is 12:01 for you)

I'm trying to talk with a rep now

Please keep us updated

 

[mmonroe]

According to their reps it starts at 12:01a PST

 

[vishalc]

LOL so I have to stay up till 3am

Really? Thats strange since as others said they usually state PST when it is.

 

[vishalc]

Honestly I think its at either 12 or 1 AM eastern time zone. Reps sometimes don't know what they are talking about (the ones on the chat)

 

[mmonroe]

I'd say keep refreshing... it'll prob pop up before hand..

I just talked to a rep on the phone... she seemed a bit confusded because she thought it was 8a tomorrow so I'll just keep refreshing until something shows

wondering if apple store will allow full payment iPhone 7+ purchase without verizon account if reserved online for pick up in store cause nearest store is at least 145miles away. my 7+ matte black won't arrive until Oct.

 

[nikster0029]

It just wouldn't make sense for it all of a sudden to be eastern when the pre orders have always been pacific

 

[vishalc]

It just wouldn't make sense for it all of a sudden to be eastern when the pre orders have always been pacific

But its showing 6 am in the UK. That leads me to believe that it is either 12 or 1AM eastern

I'm hoping that's the case too!

However, 2 online reps I talked to still says you need to have a Verizon account when you go to the store to pay for it. But who knows?...I'm still banking..

Because those times specifically state they are pacific, where this one does not.
