My “Pre-Pre-Order” wasn’t there so I’ll chalk that up to Apple being marketing geniuses. Everyone who pre-pre-ordered got to stew for 24 hours and question whether they got the right model and memory and then said to themselves, it’s just a little more and changed. ;)

I used Apple account balance to for the purchase and I received the email confirmation for pickup. But when I click the recent orders or the order number its not showing up. My account balance still shows the same.
 
Did not take lone for Apples site to bog down. Took me a full 12 minutes to order two iPhones. Due to having never fixing the Veterans and Military store so I could set everything up first I won't be getting my phones until Oct 6th, at the earliest.
 
Straight in on my old iPhone via the App, only problem the store didn't seem to have remembered my default delivery address so had to quickly fumble the address in again. All sorted and email confirmation received in less than 5 minutes.

What a **** show of an ordering experience.
9 minutes for the website to come online and then I couldn't order. Gave up and downloaded the store app.

$2.5tn company should have launch pre-orders running smoother than this.

iPhone 13 Pro 128GB Graphite, September 24th delivery.

Also got the Belkin MagSafe triple stand, MagSafe Duo Charger, leather case, and an Airtag for the hell of it.

So I went through the order process on the app, made it all the way to check out with ApplePay. The ApplePay logo just kept spinning and eventually said "Payment not accepted" BUT then it brought me to an order receipt page, saying order placed with an order number and everything. Still no payment showing up on my AppleCard log, and still no email confirmation.....not sure what to make of this?

Anyone getting “an error has occurred” when using Apple Pay to checkout?
Yes, many times. But I learned from PS5 and Xbox Series X ordering that if a problem is encountered during checkout, just keep clicking or tapping the continue/next/confirm button after each error, and eventually it will probably work.

Really annoying... one of my three pre-order pre-orders didn't show up... now when trying to put it in again they can't verify with the carrier, probably due to traffic... cool
 
Anyone else have any issues? I had checkout tell me there's a problem with my Apple Card multiple times and then tell me Citizens United denied my loan application even though I already have one and got pre-approved for another upgrade? Now It won't even let me move forward if I try again. Not sure what to do.
