how the hell can Apple handle all that website/app traffic from millions of people around 55 countries, all at the SAME time/minute?

Apple's Online Store Down Ahead of iPhone X Pre-Orders

Do we have to force quit the App Store app to make it reconnect at the given time, or can you just leave it open and wait for it ?
That's why i said apple has been playing the storage game for years. Anyway this has nothing to do with the topic so i digress.
Buuuuut... the Verizon model is compatible with all of them. They should only sell model A1865, and not model A1901. Model A1901 is just A1865 but without as many bands for same price.

Guys need some help...What does it mean to buy a T- Mobile Unlocked version of iphone X..How is it different from a sim-free version..I have a T- Mobile sim currently.....can I use the existing plan/sim..What details will be asked during the checkout...
We may see if the Apple Store App can DDOS itself from raw numbers tonight. Got the old slow Mac browser on standbye just in case....
You're good. Just buy and drop in your sim prior to power on and it should use your plan just fine (you never had to supply account numbers or anything in prior years so you shouldn't now). The TMobile was considered the "early" unlocked model (since you used to have to wait for true unlocked models - although the X is taking us back to that world). The only downside (at least previously) was that the carrier models didn't come with SIM tools (not a big deal).

If by optimal you mean saving Apple a few bucks by not including the extra hardware then great for Apple! Bad for consumer tho as it doesn’t give them the same benefit.
Happy Halloween weekend, GL with the preorder, and :
Guys need some help...My friend has a Cricket Sim... Can he go ahead and buy a AT&T Unlocked version of iphone X..can he use the existing plan/sim(Cricket)..What details will be asked during the checkout...
Thanks a lot for the response.. What details will be needed while ordering an unlocked T-Mobile by paying the entire amount upfront ....Will my current plan details, mobile number, SSN etc be asked?

Facebook and Google handle way more traffic EVERYDAY, they must handle hundreds of millions of users from pretty much any of the 200+ countries on the planet at the same time.
Yes apple will have to handle several millions but compared to the big Internet guys its really nothing, maxime when it's only once a year. They really should have no problem at all, otherwise it'd be embarrassing.
Exactly I am locked and loaded with my pre approval, some good shows to watch on the iPad and general web surfing for awhile. The fun begins We will be able to order one of these yeah!
Analysts saying approx 3 million units available for sale. Launch is taking place in 55 countries and stores are going to have limited stock on launch day.....................So what are the chances of getting one on the 27th. delivery times will probably start at 4 weeks
Anyway Good

Don’t be so glum. IF the 3m number is correct, if half of them are alotted to carriers and physical stores, there would still be 250.000 per country (on average) for the online pre-orders. Less for smaller countries of course, but that’s still some orders to churn though for a couple of minutes ...
