Apple's Online Store Down Ahead of iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple TV Pre-Orders

I skipped the 7 and will skip the 8. :(
Waiting for the SE refresh next year and maybe jump on the X when they add touchid back. Would also be nice if they shrunk it a bit, especially now that they don't have much of a bezel.

To be fair, 4K videos eat up memory. I personally would turn that off while recording videos. That said, if someone is going to record 4K videos, even 128 GB is going to be small, and they might as well take 256 GB option.

Especially 4K at 60fps. That's going to devour device storage and iCloud storage.

256 should handle it fine though. 64? Eh, I would stick to 1080p.
 
I wouldn't think the Apple TV or Watch would sell out, buuuuuuut, history proves me wrong.

Agreed. Why not preorder but wait till then. My Guess is that they don’t want to conflict with the 8 and 8+ Preorder

Additionally, this way you can get people double dipping. They buy an 8/8+, then flip it for the X in a month or so.

Yeah that's right, even if they had iPhone X stock levels it makes sense to give the normal folk their incremental 8 upgrade. The people who don't like too much change!

Watch tomorrow Apple says sold out. The iPhone 8 is a great success.

That's BS Apple, after how many years, they should have data on having a very precise stock for the first week or month of launch, and zero reason to have back orders, but they purposely do this to make it sound better.

Apple aren't mind readers, they can't tell if you want an iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X or nothing at all. They can only guess and make supplies accordingly. Not as easy as it sounds.

iPhone 6 Plus was way more in demand than expected, so the next year they made more 6S Plus and they stood on the shelf. So, again the following year they created accordingly, lowered the amount available on launch, and the demand for the 7 Plus was through the roof and almost instantly backordered.
 
Just got in and ordered the new Apple Watch with cellular. First time I have noticed Apple Pay on the Apple site was in and done in under a minute. Showed delivery by 9/22
 
Silver 8 Plus 64GB Sept 22

Sorry, Android. We had a good run and I will always love you. Please know that it's not you, it's me. Well, and your crappy phone manufacturers.
