Apple Rep just said 12:01am is a rumor...

[indychris]

I know that it's been 12:01 the last few rounds as I've made purchases then, but even now she won't confirm that the sales site will go live shortly after midnight PDT.

I wouldn't put much into that. I think they're just avoiding using any hard dates in case of any difficulties. I believe they'll go live right around that time as they always have before.

What a moron. It's been this way for years.

They're probably told to say that to cover their butts.

That was my first reaction as well. A short time will tell...

I preordered a past release (forget which) at just after 9pm pacific time...

Dumb. Considering Verizon & AT&T are using the same iPhone 6 picture advertising 12:01am PST.

The rep didn't say it was a rumor, you did. Then she agreed with you.

It will start at 12 am. Count in it.

Her precise answer to my statement about it being a rumor was "YES IT IS..."

I'm sorry that clarity was lost on you.

they are basically told to say these things because like she said, apple hasnt given a specific time

 

[taran420]

You want an apple employee to confirm something that Apple themselves have not confirmed?

lol at people calling the rep a moron and stupid.

 

[jsmith189]

Well, reps aren't allowed to confirm anything unless the company as a whole have specifically confirmed it in writing. So no matter what you said, they'd deny, deny, deny.

the rep answered your answer correctly. Did apple confirm the timing anywhere? All i see from them is sept 12. So in fact it is a rumour, regardless of what history might suggest.
