You do realize that Apple never said a time (as the carriers did), and that the vast, vast, overwhelming majority of people who will ever buy an iPhone 6 even know anything about ridiculous things like streaming issues or whether the Apple Store opens at 12:01AM PT?
Get a grip given the tone of your comment and the feeling that Apple needs to "sack" their web team because the store wasn't available at midnight like you wanted, I can say with relative certainty that I have probably been using Apple products for longer than you have been alive, and I'm not worried.
Umm Apple did say a time. And it's bad PR when they can't get their website or streams working by their own deadline. Should I expect Apple Pay to fail on Black Friday?
