No you didn’t. Literally impossible.

Does anyone know if you can just leave the app open and it will load the store automatically when it comes online?

Or do I have to close the app out and keep retrying it? There is no refresh button.

You can move the little Apple logo around on the screen but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

I be damn. I’m moving to Germany.

Have some ambien and get a good nights rest
[doublepost=1509068711][/doublepost]You guys should really get off your phones and talk to your wives laying next to you in bed.

I too should follow this advice =P

Only talk?

LOL, you had me for a second until I looked at the price. Way too low for a 256GB.

I also checked with my buddy in Germany and the Apple Store is down as well.

 

[Mkovacs2011]

Not convinced

 

[castorbroome3]

Why do I continuous click on the Apple store like I think its going to say something different than being down? lol

 

[fourthtunz]

That’s my plan too.

Heh, you'll show them

Yeah nice try, but no. Thanks to the magic of VPN's and German IP's, I just cruised over to the Apple.com/de, and this is what I get when you click on the iPhone X

Who said there was only 2 to 3 iPhone X's available at launch day? How does that person know that specific number?

He didn't purchase it from Apple, but rather through Telekom.
Deutsche Telekom (or Telekom DE - which also owns T-Mobile) does let you pre-order it now, with a supposed delivery "from 11/3" and the price is, in fact, exactly 699,95 € with a contract extension.

It's unclear if Telekom will actually deliver that day. The translation literally is "Presale from 11/3 on"... but there you go.

Apple.DE is not taking order just like any other Apple store.

 

[bunnicula]

Who's ordering from AT&T website, anyone ?

Only as a backup. I distrust their ability to deliver on time.

 

[BvizioN]

Why wouldn't it??

I believe that was meant to be sarcastic and I could be wrong.

There was a rumour while back of the X launch being delayed.

 

[bunnicula]

Is the concept of time zones a new phenomenon? Why does Macrumors think people are so stupid that they don’t understand that 12:01 Pacific time translates into different times in other parts of the world?

There are people who are legitimately baffled by the concept of 12:01. As in, they assume it's at 12:01 local time for them, not just for Cupertino.

So, MR usually clarifies. Not because people don't get time zones. More because they need to know we are ALL on Cupertino time to preorder.

Good luck to you all trying to get one!

So what happens when the pre order stock is sold out and there is no more stock that will deliver on launch day? Does the ordering process still continue just with a later delivery date or what?

Correct.

 

[DakotaGuy]

You condone higher price?

If we are talking about Apple’s profit margin then yes a higher price would be a positive development. I’m not sure how much higher they can push it, but I think if the X can sell in record numbers even at $1000+ one can make an argument it’s underpriced.

I guess we’ll see how fast it sells out.

 

[canadianreader]

I’ll buy mine 2 years from now

Good luck to anyone in Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands! Oh, not that your government is doing much to restore power and cell service....

I think they are thinking more about food than phones

 

[shayneox]

So.....I cant order the phone in two hours because I am in Korea....the store will know where I am and not let me order???

In Puerto Rico, they need phones with FM radio.
