Other Easy peasy

[Jumpie]

That was the easiest ordering process ever.

 

[protobiont]

Agreed.

 

[adam1080]

100% ^

2 phones ordered in less than 30 seconds.

 

[nyermen]

Bah, still staring at almost there

 

[soloer]

Yep, very easy. Not happy seeing a Verizon upgrade service charge though.

 

[iggypod]

Agreed. I think it took less than 2 seconds. Like the pre-pre order process.

 

[Blueline29]

Totally! I was refreshing on my phone and iPad and once the store went live, it took about 15 seconds to process. Color me impressed!

 

[sniffies]

Gee, why haven’t they done pre-pre-orders before!

It makes everyone’s lives so much easier.

Store is still down for me. Great!

 

[mb91]

Yeah this was fast and easy although I ordered from somewhere other than Apple as their pre-orders were up before Apples

 

[jimmy_uk]

Got in on the app no issues - Chrome and Safari browser on my iMac still say "almost there"?

Pre-pre-ordered yesterday - got my two orders.

 

[jenjen80]

6+ minutes in and still at “almost there.”

 

[nyermen]

For UK (at least), the iphone app is now open. The website still shows as almost there.

 

[ilex27]

I had to close the app and reopen. Boom!

 

[lwilliams]

For 9 minutes, all I get is "We'll be right back." Can't get in.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

Ordered an item yesterday and still had to fill in my credit card number. Still, I got delivery for next Friday for a 256GB iPhone 13 Max Pro Graphite.

 

[judyg951]

So fast. I ordered 2 phones by 5:07! Easiest and fastest order ever!

 

[Rafterman]

Yes, I have had the "ten minutes past" and no emtry happen to me in the past. This time, though, only 30 seconds delay. The web browser is the worst culprit. The app seems better at that.

 

[kp98077]

super easy! took like 15 seconds!

 

[seinman]

Agreed. I had my preorder set up on the Apple Store app, opened it at 8:01 local time, have the confirmation email in my inbox at 8:02 local time.

Weirdly, it opened first for me on the iPad and didn’t go live on my phone until after my order had gone through. I was killing / relaunching the apps furiously the whole time; impressed that the store went live close to on time this year! Might have been the earliest I’ve ever seen.

 

[Domino8282]

Took until around 5:05 for the app to let me in, but once it did I preordered a iPhone 13 Mini 512GB Starlight carrier free and an iPhone 13 Pro 512GB Graphite carrier free in under 2 minutes with launch day delivery for both. Very pleased. Sorry for those who couldn’t get into app sooner and hope you still got launch day delivery!

 

[NoellaBklvr26]

This was my first time preordering using the app. I had my alarm set and app up. Smooth process. Received my order confirmations.

 

[hellojohnny]

Got my ordered in through Apple store app and received confirmation email at 5:04 a.m. Another easy pre-order year!

I had all options available to me, but the web browser actually got in first, which was unusual.
