This is so crazy
At first all the links go fast but then the spinning wheel of death wont go through
 
The funny thing is that my first few tries I got to the "add to cart" screen. Now I can't even get past the "pre-order" button.

It's getting worse as time goes on :mad:
 
Probably around 30

I give up for now. Will try later in the day

Pretty pathetic by Apple but this what we have come to expect on the day of pre-ordering for iPhones
 
I get consistently stuck on "Please wait while we access your AT&T account information."

I blame AT&T completely for this ****.
 
I think it's getting better personally. Now it blows up much more quickly, telling me my request cannot be processed at this time.

Please try again later.

~sigh~
 
Google Chrome is a breeze until i try to add it onto the cart
Firefox is unpredictable
Opera ......it sucks
 
The farthest I've gotten in the last 45 minutes of trying to order on the Apple store was it trying to check my eligibility.

Then I get the "couldn't be processed" error. :(
 
Need an option for less than 10.

This is probably the truly peak period for these servers. If I were you guys I'd come back....these phones aren't going to sell out in one day.
 
I've been up since 3:15. Just completed an order. I would guess I have attempted to order over 50 times.

It's funny because their servers are running so smoothly now compared to a few hours ago.

Anyways, I think the 40+ would account to just trying to get the thing added to my Cart and then another 100+ trying to access said Cart and then confirm my order.
 
Woke up at 8:30 and tried for an hour and a half. I've never done the preorder/launch day thing. I don't get why people look forward to this, this is frustrating! I'll try again later or tomorrow.
 
check your cart, it should already be in there, that worked for me after trying for hours!
 
My wife wants one (my beautiful little pathetic Apple fangirl), so I've been trying to get her one. Apple doesn't appear to want my money. I'd say about 50+ failed attempts now. We're now approaching the threshold of how much pain is too much pain to endure for your loved one.
 
2!

1st attempt reserved a 16gb
2nd attempt reserved a 32gb

Both confirmed.

Yeah... but I went to ATT multiple times and was able to access my account and go through all the steps. I wanted to order directly from Apple but this **** is annoying - went back and ordered through ATT just fine..
