You guys must not have tried to use your Apple Card to check out LOL.....if you go to the pre-order thread lots of people had issues trying to pay with the Apple Card, including myself. Took 5 tries, until I gave up and tried a different card.
Got a tip for us?

I really don’t understand the point of 512gb or 1tb (for most people) given that iCloud exists.
Why get 1TB local storage?
You use it as the all-around pocket camera for photo and video... You use it to shoot non-pro/pro movies... You download videos from sites like YouTube for offline access, download music from services like Spotify, again for offline access... You use it as alternative to a portable external drive... You download so many high performance demanding games... You use it as a pocket computer to edit videos that you have shot using the same device... And many others...
But for all the possible reasons of getting one, can you afford it? Are you willing to go all in for that one device?

The 2-3 minutes past the time the Apple Store was supposed to be up was a killer. But I've got my ordered for in-store pickup on the 24th, Pro Max Sierra Blue 512 gb.
Glad I woke up on time this morning. Got Silver 1TB Pro Max for pick up on the 24th.
Do you guys really think the slipping dates is due to the overall demand of the product? This is one of the most minor updates in recent history, during a pandemic in which raw material shortages are bountiful. This is purely a supply chain issue.
You don’t actually think it’s free, do you?I get mine (512) on October 9th with T-Mobile, but hey - it's completely free with the MAX plan. I can wait for free
Do you want to download 4GB movies on demand over cellular? (which isn't free)

yes, I have unlimited data so that’s not an issue. If I didn’t have unlimited data my thinking would be different.
The minute I got signed into the store when it came up with my pre-order the delivery date for the 1TB was already showing October 6th . Ended up changing it to the 512 for Friday delivery.
. Ended up changing it to the 512 for Friday delivery.I was thinking of going bigger than 256GB, but doesn't seem worth it to me on a phone (unless you record a lot of video... I only take photos). On an iPad though, I'll take the largest storage offered as I'll fill it with tv shows and movies.
Well not completely free. You may have to make a payment or two until it kicks in. Also you had to trade something in, right?I get mine (512) on October 9th with T-Mobile, but hey - it's completely free with the MAX plan. I can wait for free
Wow, all maxed out

iPhone 12 Pro Max 512 GB in Pacific Blue (Unlocked)Wow, all maxed out
Lol their site crapped out. I abandoned the two phones in my cart. I can survive with a 12 Pro for a little while. I’m not gonna sit there like a sucker refreshing all day.
Well I trash talked the event but I still ended up buying a 256GB Pro Max, 😂 I’m a such 🐑. I update every year and trade in my old IPhone
I remember my first iPhone preorder, the iPhone 4 in 2010. It only came in black (white had been announced, but was delayed), and the only carrier was AT&T. The only choice you had to make was 16 GB or 32 GB for storage.

I travel a lot for work, and like to have lots of offline movies available, especially that with my UK network, I have limited data in EU after a recent little change in our status
I guess others may have reasons, but I suspect that in this situation, there just weren't many 1TB models available.
Don't. Leave the server resources to people who need them. It's probably under peak load.
No way Sir…2M+ Chinese up 33% from iPhone 12 is proof it’s definitely demand
