Ontario, Canada. Website still not up, the Store app is up but having problems getting past the trade in option, and loading saves won't work. It's getting close though 
I suspect they may stagger when it goes live to help with the load being put on the data centres handling all of us chomping at the bit to get the devices.

After 13 minutes the site crashes in the Apple Store app. I'm now in and it's erroring out while trying to pull up my pre-order info. Message: Please Try Again Later.
Update: Finally went to the website and walked through all the steps without an issue in about 3 minutes.

My pre-order session I setup a few days ago "timed out" when I went to order so I had to go through the whole process again. Luckily no issues beyond that. I've seen worse in years past for pre-orders but still kind of annoying when you're expecting one thing and get another. I think I refreshed at 8:03 or 8:04 and got the store to work. Had to close out the app and go back in.
It’s always better to order on iOS or iPadOS Store app. Those always come up quite a bit earlier than the web store. I’ve seen where the Store apps are up shortly after 5:00am while the web took until 5:20-5:30 to open up. Always use the Store app if you’re buying straight from Apple.
Told myself I wasn't going to upgrade but now I'm curious and this app is crashing and throwing errors worse than I've ever seen
What’s the point of setting up a pre-order in advance when it then makes you start from scratch?
Where are you that the store was open so quickly? It's 2:15 am here in Hawaii (15 mins after it should have opened) at the Apple Store is still showing "Almost There" on both my iPhone app and Mac browser.
5.16 AM and still down.
Apple is now accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max through its online storefront and the Apple Store app. The Apple Store app is typically the quickest way to get a pre-order in as it is often accessible before the website comes up.
Pre-orders are being accepted in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and those who used Apple's "Get Ready" feature should be able to hit a button to get their orders in without hassle.
Pricing on the iPhone 15 starts at $799 or $33.29 per month in the United States, while pricing on the iPhone 15 Plus starts at $899 or $37.45 per month. The iPhone 15 Pro is available starting at $999 or $41.62 per month, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is available starting at $1,199 or $49.95 per month. Pricing will vary depending on country.
The lowest-priced iPhone 15, 15 Plus, and 15 Pro Max models have 128GB of storage, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max starts with 256GB of storage. Storage upgrades are available for an increased price, with up to 1TB of storage available. Apple is encouraging customers to use trade-in credits to lower the price of the new iPhone models, and it is also promoting carrier deals from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile in the U.S.
All of the iPhone 15 models are equipped with USB-C ports, the Dynamic Island, a new Ultra Wideband chip, Qualcomm 5G modems, and a range of camera updates. The more affordable iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have an A16 chip, an aluminum frame, and a frosted glass back, as well as a new 48-megapixel Main camera. There have been updates to Portrait mode, Night mode, and general improvements to image quality thanks to Smart HDR updates.
The iPhone 15 Pro models feature a new titanium frame that makes them much lighter than prior-generation models, with titanium also offering increased strength and durability. Apple replaced the mute switch with an Action button that can be customized with a number of functions, and display bezels have been slimmed down.
Pro models are also equipped with a faster A17 Pro chip with major GPU improvements that enable them to play console-level games, and they feature all of the camera improvements from the iPhone 15 models, plus more.
Both models have improved Ultra Wide cameras, and while the iPhone 15 Pro still has a 3x Telephoto lens, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a new tetraprism mechanism for its Telephoto lens, enabling 5x optical zoom.
It's not yet clear on whether there will be shortages of the new iPhone models, but it is a good idea to pre-order right away just in case. There were rumors of production difficulties with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, so it is possible it will sell out. The 5x zoom lens, the new titanium material, and the A17 Pro chip make it especially enticing.
U.S. carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are accepting preorders for the new devices, as are other carriers worldwide. Big box retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have pre-orders available too.
Customers who pre-order one of the iPhone 15 models can expect to begin receiving their deliveries on Friday, September 22, the official launch date for the new devices.
