Well that was easy. App refreshed itself and brought up my pre-preorder. Just had to double check and hit the Apple Pay button. Got 10/23 delivery on a 128GB Pacific Blue 12 Pro. Way easier than I was expecting
On my iPad the app shows 'Almost there'. But yesterday on my iPhone I completed Apple's pre-order. When I opened the Apple Store on my iPhone at exactly 5:00 AM, it let me go in and order it. But my iPad (and the website) still show 'Almost there'. I wonder if they are letting people in who started the pre-order process first?
NOTE - the pre-order process was only for paying monthly with your Apple Card.
Mine went live just as the clock ticked over to 5am. I think that’s the first time it’s been that on the nose. I finished my order before 5:01. Pretty impressive, tbh.
my order for iPhone 12 Pro was done and submitted successfully by 8:03am via AT&T's site without issues, yet the estimated delivery time is Oct 26 (Monday after launch) to Nov 2. You mean I may need to wait a whole weekend while the world gets theirs on Friday? Oh, the horror!!!! The Humanity!!!
