Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

getting the same

The same thing happened to me 6-7 times before finally going through. I wasn’t sure if it was on Apple’s part, or if it was because I tried to place the order in my office, where the WiFi is hideously sketchy. Once I walked back out to the kitchen, it went right through.

The cancel button is NOT showing for me. Is it showing for you?

can you screen shot?

When do you think we'll see PFS this year -- Monday? That's when the REAL excitement (for geeks like me) begins! 🤓

 

[Momof2.1107]

Woo hoo, did you get a launch day delivery date? I was worried about you this morning, seemed you were having issues getting the store to come up. I hadn't seen an update. Happy for you!!

Yes I finally got through at 8:10am, received the confirmation email at 8:11am with a delivery date of 11/13! My card was also charged a little while ago. I’m beyond excited now. Thank you for asking

 

[Momof2.1107]

Me, too. I had to keep pressing “Accept and Continue” in the app at least 50 times to get it to finally go through. I was afraid I was going to have 50 new iPhones ordered, lol. The app didn’t even let me in till about 7:05 Central time. It went well until time to accept the agreement and continue. Finally went through around 7:18 am.

I was so frustrated with the app I was ready to give up. I kept thinking there was no way I would receive a launch day device, but I made the cut.

 

[Momof2.1107]

Did you do full price? I was charged the taxes immediately, but I used my Apple Card.

Yes full price for Sim free.

 

[Momof2.1107]

What’s crazy is I remember the pre order for the XS Max and those dates slipped after about 20 minutes. If that.

I’m surprised Apple either prepped this well or their sales are down on the bigger / smaller models this year. Either way I’m surprised.

I’m thinking it had something to do with the staggered launch dates. Maybe most people didn’t want to wait 3 weeks to preorder the Max or Mini and ordered the 12 or 12 Pro?

 

[Momof2.1107]

Yeah, they always seem to be in anguish over not getting any info from their carriers regarding their orders, the orders arrive willy nilly, etc. I always prefer to buy from Apple over the carriers

To be honest, I may go this route every year. I’ll just trade in my phone to Apple every year and trade up to the next phone.

Phew...Kept getting interruption error on iOS app, desktop site wasn't up until a few minutes ago, and was finally able to place my order on apple.com via laptop.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, Graphite, 256GB, delivers Friday 13th.

This was the headache I was getting also. I was fearing the delivery date would slip a week or more. (Which clearly isn't the case still as of 5:30 ET).

Also feared every time I "Placed Order" , enter security code....the order really did go through and I just bought 25-30 iPhones. 😆

Gave up on the app, the order went though on my desktop when the store finally came up on my end...after stopped showing "Almost There" screen around 8:11am. Order placed 8:14am. Delivers 11/13

Never had issues with the Apple Store app until this morning.

That’s the exact same message I kept getting so after the second time it popped up, I said forget this and used my laptop to complete my order from my favorites and was done within a minute.

 

[AZhappyjack]

Do they use order number as reference? First time ordering through Apple.

Typically, it's the first 8 characters of the order number ... just drop the last two numbers and that should work... as well as the phone number associated with your AppleID.

 

[jcp007]

Yes full price for Sim free.

I was able to pay full price through Best Buy. $475 trade-in allowance for three Samsung Galaxy phones and $600 in Best Buy gift cards. The balance of the $1,200 price will be charged to my Best Buy card.

It was nerve-racking for sure.

I know this was posted earlier this morning. But just getting a chance to go trough them. I ran into the Soup Nazi selling his soup a couple of years ago at local grocery store. I cleaned it out, you can see it on my desk. I freaked out! I didn't know he was going to be there.View attachment 1465996

Go Preds!

My 12 mini and silicone cases orders changed to Preparing to Ship. Things are moving fast.....

 

[rise_of_skylake]

Ordered a 256GB Pacific Blue Max and a 256GB Green Mini at 730am PST. Arrival on 11/13!

 

[naturalstar]

Yes I am happy about that especially since I couldn’t get in to order until 8:10am and the app kept displaying an error message when it came time to process the payment. I was afraid with the time frame I wouldn’t get a launch day device. I screamed with joy when I got that confirmation email with a date of 11/13 and I chose that as my day off for next week.

I didn't get in until that time either, at least not into the military site. Verizon app was fine. The Apple store app on my iPhone seemed fine until I tried to check out and got an error saying that I needed to call in. Not sure what happened there when I have more than enough on that credit card. I prayed that the launch date hadn't slipped when I finally got into the website which also had a weird flow, but it took everything, including the same credit card I had on file.

I'm just happy that it processed and it will be here next Friday. My beautiful blue iPhone that I've always wanted. I'm so thankful... especially after Comcast knocked out my cable/internet service this afternoon, but that's whole 'nother story, smh.

Well I woke up at 5AM for nothing.. demand was not as high this time around it would seem.

Same - my 12 Pro Max leather saddle brown case is Preparing to Ship as well. Still processing on the 12 Pro Max though

 

[joeptp]

Mini order just went to PFS. Ordered within 1 min of opening.

 

[Norre8]

can you screen shot?

It will once the order goes to Processing.

 

[webbuzz]

iPhone Pro Max has changed to preparing to ship.

 

[ryanmcv]

can you screen shot?

Not seeing a cancel button on either the app or website. Maybe it's because I ordered with a military discount?

 

[xxxda1xxx]

there's still a lot of stock on the iphone mini and max and colors cuz maybe of the pandemic.. so we have waited for two weeks for the pre-order of iphone mini and pro max.. now this time we have to wait a week to get our iphone hopefully...

 

[Nanotyrns]

Well I woke up at 5AM for nothing.. demand was not as high this time around it would seem.

I think they just have a handle on manufacturing now and probably time the pre-order well to be covered by inventory. Plus they aren't designing phones with special materials (*cough*jet black iPhone 7*cough*) that take forever to manufacture. I know SJ liked a little bit of scarcity and how that drove sales but I think TC likes happy customers better.
