Completed the first order at 8:02 for AT&T iPhone 11 Pro Space Gray 256GB via Apple and got launch day. Completed the 2nd order for my Dad's at 8:06 for the same exact config and it had slipped to Sept 27th-Oct 1st already.

Weird, but after a minute, I disabled WiFi and the store popped open and I got in. Ordered two phones (on iUP).
 
I mean I only ordered one for the 3% cash back with the Apple Card. /s

In reality I did actually use the Apple Card but I ordered because I actually wanted it. Went with the sim-free Space Gray 256gb Pro.

While ordering at 8am EST was an improvement from 3am, I was about ready to tell two coworkers to go away (which I’m sure I was still giving them death glares) when they were trying to ask me what they should be working on today when they walked in the office right at 8 when I was getting the “almost there” image in the Apple Store.
 
Midnight Green was the worst colour - in fact the worst coloured iPhone ever.
iPhone 6 Space Gray would like a word with you.

Seriously, that version of the space gray was the most dull and boring color Apple ever created for an iPhone. It was way too light to be considered a “space gray”- only slightly darker than the silver. Just so gloomy.

Looked like someone took a colored iPhone and ran it through a Black & White filter.

Anyway... getting off topic. Looks like the Midnight Green was super popular :D

I got in at 1 minute after and the Pro Max green 256 had already slipped to October 3. I pre-ordered Space Gray for pick up on 9/20 and kinda hoping I can switch to green when I get there.
 
The page did not open for minutes and then I got 27 the to 1st delivery . Never happened to me not getting it on release day , apple said the store was not ready but they must have took turn or something
The app or the site?

I’ve pretty much stopped trying with the site; every year, people have better luck with the Apple store app.

t-mobile's site is absolute crap. On the upside, I've memorized my new CC number. On the downside, I've bought this bloody phone more than 20 times only to get to "Oops, we've hit a snag. You're still on track!" only to have to start over. Again.
 
Aside from the fact that I'm taking my first upgrade year off since 2010, it's also Friday the 13th? Perhaps I'm superstitious but......

Apple store is broke with new Apple card can not complete my order for a new iphone getting "
: Please enter fewer characters." Apple call center is backed up!!!!!!!"

Been trying for the last half hour to complete the order.
Might have better luck with the app if you aren't using it already. In Safari store was not up, but the app let me in.
 
I don’t know, I have to see this green color in store first, then I’ll make my decision. I’m not partial to any one color, but I want to see it first. I have had Gold/space gray/silver all in the past, the green looks interesting. (And no, I don’t use cases if I don’t have to.)

Every year, the naysayers say that Apple is losing their edge. Can't compete. Can't make a worthwhile product.

Not "innovative" they say. "Not what Jobs would do," they say.

Every year...they are wrong.

I love when people say Samsung is on the same level. Nope I could walk in a launch day and pick up a Samsung note 10 without even trying.
Should be a dead giveaway, when the company is offering pre order gifts (headphones discounts etc) they don’t even trust the product can sell at full retail.
 
I suspect the stock dwindled fast because APPLE did not make many phones anticipating low demand. Unless you need that camera, or are upgrading from an older (much older) phone, there is ZERO point to the 11. Other than ridiculous revenue for APPLE.

Try the app on the phone. It should go right through
 
I have a feeling that white will be a beautiful colour for the 11 Pro. Frosted satin white glass? Potentially yummy. Due to the change in rear surface finish, I personally would not buy a Pro sight unseen.
