That's how I did it, I wanted 5 for our house. Ended up doing two orders of 2 and one order of 1. Unless the extra orders get cancelled it looks like that worked
Nice! I’ve never heard of Apple cancelling orders but then I’ve not followed preorders for any kind of comparable product where someone might feasibly want multiples for their own use. I have a handful of regular HomePods, but figured these would be great as gifts and to have intercom in rooms where I won’t listen to music as much 👍🏼
 
Turned off wifi on one device and could get on straight away to place my order on their website. Wifi connected devices were left hanging for 20 mins before getting onto the order page. Glad I hedged my bets.

UK upgrade programme customer here. Disgusted that a trillion-dollar company couldn't figure out how to make this work during a lockdown.

I'll pay off my current iPhone 11 Pro Max and never touch an iPhone again.
Not sure what you are going on about since in modern history the world has not been in this type of pandemic but whatever!

Ordered two iphone 12 pro max 512gb graphite and blue to replace both my 11 pro max. Can’t wait not sure about my current 12 pro, found it to small.
 
Ordered one for me and one for the friend via the iOS "Apple Store" app. Website store was still down after 15 minutes... My friend always got an error when trying to pay. So now there's two on the way.
 
64GB Blue Mini via the app. Had spec’d and added to Favorites beforehand and once the store came online, one touch with Apple Pay and was done by 8:10 EDT.
Could have sworn Apple used Express or Expedites shipping in Canada for pre-orders; email indicates Standard shipping.
 
Got the midnight blue Pro Max. Took about 30 seconds to order everything and didn’t have to wake up at 3 AM. Yay

Same, I'm in uncharted territory on it, but figured I'd give it a try. If it fails can always order two with my wife's Apple ID and then one from the local Best Buy or something, so I have a back up plan. Hoping I don't have to use it though.

Ordered within a minute via the app! Great not having to wake up at 3am EST this year to get this one haha. Easiest pre-order yet in my scenario at least!

128GB 12 Pro Max Pacific Blue
Agreed... it sucked for like the 5 minutes after 5:00 am PST - saying it was setting up the decks. But than it was an easy process. I may or may not have done it on the road trip to work... I stayed in my lane... I think.

Gold Pro Max - Excited!

Also Double the storage I’m used to.
 
An hour after preorder started I was able to order a silver 128 GB Max for pickup on 11/13, although I chose the 14th. I just realized as I was typing this that next Fri is Friday the 13th :eek:
 
Ordered 7:00 AM via App Store in Mexico, 256 GB 12 Pro Max Graphite, delivery date nov 23 :rolleyes:
 
An hour and 15 minutes after the store opened back up, all Pro Max colors still available for launch day delivery. Wow, That takes the fun out of me snagging mine at 8:00am right when the store came back online. lol

Damn, limit of 2 on the HomePod mini? After the unveiling in the October event showed people filling their houses with them.

I wonder if that item will be a popular but tough to find gift for holidays this year.
I was able to order 4 of them, two separate orders of 2. Got 2 in black and 2 in white.

I ordered a Pac Blue max from AT&T at about 10 minutes till 5 PST. I was planning to do Apple direct again, but AT&T gave me $700 trade for my XS Max - so $330 more than Apple. Yeah, it is in the form of bill credits etc. Whatever. It's real money in the end. Still getting it on 11/13.
 
Any news on the HomePod 2 showing in Target search?

I was about to preorder at 7:01 central time through the app. Had it saved as a favorite and got my confirmation email at 7:02. Got the white 128gb mini.
