Got mine too. iPhone 12 Pro Silver 128gb - arriving on launch day on 23rd! That was very easy using Apple Store - 3 quick taps, double tap to pay, Face ID, and DONE!!!! Super excited to play with my new phone!! 🥳
 
UK Phone app payments errored out for over 6 mins for me. Had to complete on desktop which has delayed shipping by a week. Still, not too bad! Pro 512 Blue delivering Oct26, but the Pro 512 Silver coming Nov2. Who'd have thought? Either way I'm gonna have to wait as I promised I wouldn't open mine (blue) until the GF's silver comes 🤪
 
vice versa...why apple close the store before an event IF after that event nothing goes on sales/preorders ?!
Now , since iphones and ipads go for pre-orders we can some how understand
After the event, the Store was updated with technical info about the new products and pre-order dates.
 
Managed to purchase one of the two iPhone 12 Pro's I wanted to order already.

Everything went great until the final confirm step, went the server went nope. But luckily the order got through after 10 minutes or so, received the email.

Now wanting to order the second one, but that seems to be impossible right now as nothing is loading.

(Belgium btw)

Apple's online store is down ahead of iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro pre-orders, which are set to begin at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time in the United States.

"You're... early," reads the Apple Store message when attempting to visit the U.S. website. "Pre-order begins at 5:00 a.m. PDT. Enjoy the extra sleep." Apple used to do new device pre-orders at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, but since last year, has been holding iPhone pre-orders at 5:00 a.m.

The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are launching in more than 30 countries and regions around the world, and a full list of launch times can be found in our time zone guide.

Apple's iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models feature a full redesign with a flat-edged look that similar to the design of the iPad Pro. All of the models feature edge-to-edge OLED displays, 5G connectivity, and upgraded camera technology.

Following pre-orders, the first iPhone 12 and 12 Pro shipments will arrive to customers on Friday, October 23. Note that pre-orders will only be available for the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 and 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro, with pre-orders for the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max launching on November 6.

If you're hoping to get an iPhone 12 or 12 Pro on launch day, it's a good idea to purchase early because there's no word on how much supply Apple will have. Preliminary reports suggest demand is high and supply is low, with pre-orders from telecoms in Taiwan selling out within 45 minutes.

Pricing on the iPhone 12 starts at $829, though some U.S. carriers are offering a $30 discount that drops the price to Apple's advertised $799 price point. Pricing on the iPhone 12 Pro starts at $999.
