liarI got in right at 8:01 on both my iPad and my iPhone via Safari but when I check the App Store right now it still says it’s down. Obviously they’re rolling out access to the store, so it doesn’t bring it all down at once.
Keep trying. I had the same error. And it finally let me through via the app.
No, it doesn't. It'd be better hating that we didn't get in on time together. More camaraderie when we are together and not just online. lol. Then we could go get tacos.totally beats camping overnight and not even being guaranteed a phone of your choosing once you made it indoors
Same thing happened to me but it errored out on my when I tried to do it again. Now it doesn’t recognize that I’m part of the upgrade program. Perhaps this is Apple’s way of saying you don’t really need to upgrade. And maybe I won’t if it’s this much hassle.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.
The roll-out takes a bit of time. In past years, it’s been later for me than for others. Try closing and re-opening the app.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.
