256GB Graphite Nov 13 delivery via app. Easiest iPhone pre-order experience ever!
 
256GB Graphite Nov 13 delivery via app. Easiest iPhone pre-order experience ever!
I don't know about you, but the app couldn't process my order at least five times in a row before I was finally able to place an order and get an e-mail confirmation.

No problem for me.. I got the "Getting things ready" screen for a couple of minutes but once I got in it was smooth sailing.
 
After many years, of buying a new iPhone max, I took a break. Working from home and using Wi-F, I don't need the 5G feature for another 10 months. So I chose to give it a break. But if the feedback is strong, I might buy a new one. I look forward to reading the experience of those who will receive their new iPhone 12 Pro max in a week's time. So please do post your detailed experience with your new phone.
 
Blue 256GB for me, was torn between that and the gold but my XS Max is gold so it's time for a change. Ordered the plum silicone case to go with it, any recommendations for screen protectors that are easy to apply?
 
How does the in store pick up work anyways? This is my first year doing it . I have an 8:15 slot. Do I have to show up like an hour early because the lines will be long ? Or do I show up right at 8:15?


Just show up maybe a few mins before, say 8am, so you are first in your group and they’ll organize you by your time slot. For you, they will only be seeing people who have the 8:15-8:30 time slot. And you’ll be in and out of the store.

Usually I get an 8am time slot. Arrive at 7:50 and can be on my way back home by 8:10am
 
Yeah, that was my fear about in-store pickup. With this COVID, The Apple Store is brutally strict with reservations, just going inside is not possible without a reservation.

My thought is, I might not even get inside to trade in XS Max until 14, 15?? I'll get the phone in my hand ASAP, make the reservation for Apple to trade in iphone after. I apparently have "14 days" to do that, so I should be ok.

Sounds like you have it planned out. Definitely need a reservation to get inside but I think it’ll be good.

Pre-ordered my Pro Max 128Gb in classical graphite!! Launch day delivery 😎

The Portugal site only opened for me about 15min after but was working on my phone and tried ordering there but it ended up with an error and then I tried on the Mac and it worked!

Had the macbook and ipad at the ready, the website fired up first where i was able to place my order. The iPad was still on the 'Getting things ready' page for a fews mins after i'd placed my order! God bless my trusty 2011 Macbook Air!

Mine went the other way. First Verizon was up early as always, then the iPhone app, and then the site on my MBP came up. Not sure what was up with the iPad this time around, but my MBP came through!

Just trying to get inside Apple store to look at the Pac Blue and Graphite in person was an effort last week.
I would love to have my hands on the phone at 11am (The Apple Store in the mall near me have shortened hours since PA lockdown was lifted months ago), but I'll wait for UPS.

I HOPE they deliver early, but in all my times pre-ordering, they usually show up around 4, 5, 7pm! Oh well.

I did a last min. switch to 256gb, went with Graphite also.
I've had low end GB sizes for years, $100 for the extra space, not worry about super large 4K video shooting (like my 64gb XS Max)..why not. It's time to go big!

I got this too. Was worried it was an issue with my credit card :oops: . Ended up using a different CC and purchasing on their desktop website instead.
