Feels like Apple and the carriers are getting hit harder than usual, unless they reduced server capacity (unlikely). Could be a very good sales total for Apple.
Got a tip for us?

my email said same as site. 27-30 but I paid for faster shipping which saved 3 days.
I wonder if Apple purposely blocked people from getting access? Yeah, that must have been it!
not for everyone. It didn't start until 8;15 for me and my cousin
Yes. Mine won't arrive til Sept 30th and I ordered at 0711CDT
thanks for confirming you can't read. again, why do you care so much?
Well, I'm excited to come back to iOS on a personal device. It's been a few years, though I've had a work iPhone for a long time. Launch day 14 Pro in Deep Purple. That "Almost there" was giving me fits let me tell you. And even though I had fully setup pre-pre-ordering on Weds evening, it still made me re-enter my shipping address. But, it worked out. Coming from a Pixel 6 Pro, which is probably the worst modern phone I've used. Not sad to put it behind me.
Having troubles? Try another device.
I had three devices - Mac using Safari, iPhone using Apple app, iPad Pro using Apple app.
Only the iPhone using the app worked, and I got my order in successfully. On the Mac, I got thru several steps of the pre-order process, then it froze.
On the iPad, the app showed "still doing a few last minute things" or whatever until 16 minutes past pre-order start time, even when force-quitting and restarting the app a few times.

It probably depends on the configuration, but yeah, this happens every year. The most popular configurations will sell out within minutes.
I got an email that my order was received and is being processed, but I never actually saw the payment get completed and don't have a charge on my Apple Card. Soooooooo I don't know what this means.
Ugh... waited for the website but then I switched to the app on my phone. For whatever reason it would not process my payment on the last step. Switched back to the website which was now working. iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB Space Black... Arrives Sep 28 - Oct 3. SMH 
-well this was a mess
App wouldn't load and then I had to enter my payment info all over again.
I then ordered airpods; I couldn't get apple pay to check out. Excessive loading times and it kept having an error. I had to go to website and use paypal to get my order placed.

UK customer here, pre-order setup for iPhone 14 Pro Max 512GB Space Black.
The last time I bought an iPhone on launch day was the 4s, so it's been a while. The app opened about 13:05 suggesting 16th Sept delivery, but I was already progressing on my Mac having given up waiting for the app. A minute later I completed the order on Mac, but delivery is now 23rd September - 3rd October. 'doh!
Are these dates pretty firm or could it be sooner in people's experience? many thanks

What mess. App Store open for me at 08:11, starting processing order, went thru and totally
dropped of the system. Had to reorder and got a October delivery date.

I was able to place order, save appointment date to a calendar and add it to wallet. But I did not get email confirmation and when I’m trying to see recent orders all I see is something like “error with the request, try again later”.
Site locked on at 7:02CDT. Was ordered by 7:03. Seamless. Used the app and pre-order.
Tried to use Apple Pay and it would spin the "processing" wheel and give an exclamation point about "Payment not Processed"...did this about 5 times. Then tried to use Apple Pay with 2 of the other credit cards in my wallet. Got a different error - a box this time that said payment had been interrupted. So I backed out of Apple Pay Checkout and chose the plain "checkout" button. Then a box popped up asking for the security code for my apple card...put that in and all went through. Have my order number, but no email confirmation yet and it's been at least 10 minutes. But the App says payment info received and they are preparing my order.
I got page not found the first attempt through and then went and did it again - the second order says guest order but in my account? and the original order that I got page not found is also there with a different order number.
