Apple Store app on my iPad opened right at 5 pst. Ten minutes later app still won’t load on my phone
 
Had to use safari on my iPad to go to the Apple web site to complete my prepared pre-order as the Apple Store App was still showing "We're almost ready", but a space black 256Gb iPhone 14 Pro will soon be mine, replacing my 12 Pro 😁

I had to keep closing and reopening the app for it to work, it didn’t auto update for me.
Same! I had my iPhone 13 Pro, iPad Pro and my Mac Studio all refreshing like crazy. The iPad came first but I didn't have my credit card saved and I tried entering it manually (to which it failed for some reason). Luckily the iPhone booted up and it worked with my saved card. Phew.
 
Picked up a Purple Pro and a Deep Space Pro via the App. Website seems to still be down.
 
Bought two iPhone 14 Pros in gold and three sets of AirPods Pro. No problems checking out, though I noticed AirPods don't deliver until September 23. I thought they were supposed to deliver on September 16, along with the iPhones? Both iPhones will arrive on September 16.
 
If you have the app/website open, don’t refresh. It will auto refresh for you. I think there is somewhat of a hidden queue.

Mine auto refreshed and I was able to place my order.
 
Took nearly 9 mins before the store was available in the app (“almost there”) here in Germany. Got mine now, delivery 16 Sept.

The app finally went live for me at 8:07 and immediately displayed my pre-saved order, so all I had to do was click to pay and then double-click (since Apple Pay was my method)... Worked and got a Friday 9-16 delivery of a Space Black 14 Pro Max 256GB.

Got in after 4 minutes of waiting. Pro-Max black 512gb delayed until 9/27. So annoying. Never not gotten it on launch day
 
Took until 1.05pm (UK) until I could get into store. Pre-order was ready and waiting - iPhone 14 Pro, delivery 16th September. Fairly painless.
