Took 10 minutes to get into Apple Store app. Kept getting error with iPhone Upgrade Program. Had my cousin order my iPhone under my account from his computer and no issues on his end. Order finally placed 20 minutes in and getting iPhone 15 Pro on launch day.
 
At 0722 CST Finally got in with military discount store. Placed order in 1 minute with no problems once it was up.

iPhone 15 Pro Mac 512 Black delivers on the 22nd.

Between my iMac on the store website, iPad with split screen between online and the app and iPhone on the app I was able to complete preorder on the phone.

Whoo, 512 Natural 15PM! Good luck everyone else 😆
Same order, but placed mine on my Mac. It wasn't immediately obvious where to click to complete the order until I scrolled to the bottom of the page. Decided at the last minute to pick up at an Apple Store nearby to avoid problems with home delivery.
 
Preorder immediately after announcement. First three attempts keep saying I’m talking too long to respond. 4th attempt lets me go forward with payment and then says it failed. Then kicks me out. Then the next 50 something attempts say the store is down or they can’t find my trade-in device. Then finally at 7:24am my time it brings up my preorder and processes in seconds as if there was never a problem to begin with. And I’m getting it the 22nd.

Fix this store stuff though, Apple.
 
What a cluster. App came up and my saved order for my Apple Card was gone. Had to go to the website to retrieve it. Was able to place an order for 9/22 delivery.

App now is back to “We can’t wait either”.

Just did it again on my phone using trade ins and payments, and still it got through to 9.22 delivery
 
How did people set up pre-orders ahead of time? I did that last year but the Store app never gave me the opportunity. All it ever showed me was price information. Fortunately I got my two orders in quickly before the store went down again, but I am curious how people managed to setup up pre-orders ahead of time.
 
Took until after 5:20am in Seattle for the store to come up on desktop browser or phone app. Still arriving 9.22 for White 512GB Pro.
 
Only way it worked for me was using the website in Safari. Neither the app or Chrome browser let me move forward.
 
Complete mess this time... Finally got in too, but probably not until well into 5:20. And now the site is down again anyway. Good luck everyone. Hang in there (those that can).
 
Finally got in 26 mins after the hour. Multiple errors. But got one ordered Pro Max Blue 1TB, delivers on sep 22nd. Maybe the upgrade program pre order helped idk.
 
For my iPhone 15 Pro Max I switch to the Apple website on my phone, and was able to order for store pick up on Day One. For my wife’s iPhone 15 Pro. I was finally able to get the app to work. I think a lot of this has to do with the trade-in system. She’s not on iPhone upgrade, but I am, both of us had issues up till about 8:25 Eastern time
