Have we landed on a time yet for release on apple's website?
The guy I spoke to on Apple support chat said it'd be midnight local. I didn't believe him so I asked him that if I live in the eastern time zone, could I order them online at midnight and not 3am. He said that was correct.

Still don't believe him haha.
yea i dont believe that either, but Im definitely going to be checking around midnight EST anyway lol

Airpods released at 9am eastern time so I don't see why these would warrant a midnight release. Because many on the left coast complained I think they may release 9am west coast time this go round.

I don't think the west coast should complain, iPhones launch at 12AM PST which means us on the east coast have to get up at 3AM!

I hear you believe me! Then after I place the order I can't get back to sleep every iPhone launch! It's time we catch a break
 
As a marathon runner, I'm concerned with sweat resistance. Won't get them if they are not b
 
Well my Sennheisers are neither resistant or proof, but functions fine when running. I think it's more of a warranty thing and that they should be fine.
I can only hope as I am in the midst of marathon training.

You hear about the guy who did seven marathons in seven days on seven different continents? It was broadcasted over a news radio station yesterday, they don't make things up.
 
Good question. I need a break would be fine for an easy to get product :D

FWIW, had a look at notifications count, doesn't compare (at all) with the AirPods demand.
The black wins the colour battle, 2/3 looking for black 1/3 looking for white. (based on notifications worldwide).
It seems to be "classic" product compared to AirPods, so may not encounter any production issues and should be easier to adapt to demand.

I'm really looking forward to getting them, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks for telling us though about the demand!
 
Cool I'm after white and yes compared to the activity on these boards I'm thinking that they will be much easier to get.

When Apple decides to put them in the website.........come on Apple, it is 10.20am!!!!
 
The default mode would be to have both selected so no there's a real intent to pick black only.
yea i clicked the link and saw they have to pick one first. So i edited my post.
What are the notification estimates between airpods and beatsx anyway? (rough estimate?)
 
1:20 at the very least. Don't take that for market analysis, our stats are not that relevant (at all).

Yeah, but we're all grasping for something, anything, right now. I'm looking forward to this more than any other Apple product in recent time..... not sure what that says about me or Apple. lol
 
Well it's 4.00 pm on Friday in Australia and website is still saying unavailable. Don't live near a store so can't tell you if they are there.

And for reference, I did get an email from the Beats Aus website saying they would be available today from Apple.
 
LIVE!

sic..

Seriously note, live chat told me that they operate on PST and to check back at midnight.... (which I know they run on PST)... which she stated moments earlier that they can't say nor have been told what time the release is..
Suss as to why she would note midnight and a time zone.. take as you will, add salt etc

This seems to mean they have a total of three to sell, so no rush! All other orders will ship within 8 weeks and we will all wonder why they waited so long to take orders. Not the end of the world, but strange selling strategy by Apple, err, Beats.
