It seems most of you had a different experience than I did….. I was honestly surprised it took that long. Weird
I haven’t ordered since the iPhone 13, but I was surprised at how easy this was. I did “Get Ready”. I killed and restarted the Apple Store app at exactly 7:00:00am CST and trusted the message on the screen to leave it open. About two minutes later the app advanced to the ordering screen and I was all done in about 20 seconds. Can’t ask for a smoother experience than that. I had two pre-orders to complete so I also had a the website open on my MacBook. The process there was similar, just a little slower. I could have completed both separately on the app faster than I was able to do one on the website.
Got into the store at 8:01 on my phone. Within minutes a had my preorder for my 16 Pro Max. Always do instore pickup.
BTW. Cases appear to be in store already. May not be a bad idea to see what Apple has on hand.
