That’s a poor excuse, they know the surge is coming, it’s been happening for over a decade.
And every year people keep coming back. Yes, it sucks, but I guess it just isn’t a priority for them.
 
Can anyone else book a pickup location in a UK Apple Store?? Mine says its unavailable everywhere...
 
San Francisco. The Store came up for me at ~ 05:17 and my order with trade in finished at 05:19, though my Apple Card doesn’t show the charge yet (expected) and I’ve not received the confirmation e-mail. The ”Farewell, Thanks For Your $1,500” did say to expect home delivery on 9/22.
 
I did the "Get Ready" thing yesterday. I reserved an iPhone 15 Pro Max, 256GB, Black.

It took 18 minutes to finally get into the app today... and another 6 minutes and two tries to get Apple Pay to go through.

I got a confirmation email a few minutes later. So I think I'm good.

But delivery says Oct 4 - Oct 9

🤔
 
sure. but that was a very different me. i want the phone, i’m slightly excited for it, but more excited to go back to bed. 15 year old me was happy to sleep on the sidewalk. Oh how a decade and a half changes your perspective on what’s important.
My dude, same here.

Shopping on the Canadian store. I was able to get in using Safari browser on a MacBook. The iOS / iPadOS store apps weren't working. Home delivery was showing Oct 11+ and in-store Sept 22. I got the model I wanted however I checked again just to see the situation and the Natural Titanium was sold out for in-store pickup.
 
What a joke pre ordering yesterday. Kept crashing had to go through it 3 times again now shipping mid October. Gave up in the end not worth the hassle apple
 
Frustrating process today for sure.

Had a pro max in natural titanium set up for pre order, kept timing out, then pre ordered device not showing.
Eventually popped up again, and got the order through around 30 mins after “opening time”.

Delivery date 2nd-9th of October.

Upgrading from a release day 12 pro!
 
Could not get in on my iPhone 12 Pro Max for my pre order which was supposed to make this process easy. What a joke. It's not like Apple does this every year and has issues for people connecting. Fix this Apple, you have almost a whole year to correct the same problem for years.

I did log on at my work PC and was able to order a iPhone 15 Pro Max Black 512GB. I pick it up next Friday in store.
 
Agreed that this was the worst pre-order experience in years, received errors until around 30 mins after the window opened. My "pre-order" page continued to just error, so finally I just put through a new order, and this is the first time one of the configurations I purchased won't be delivered on launch day.

app killed my preorder and kept erroring even when doing from scratch… errored when purchasing but evidently actually worked - by the time I got up to order via browser on my windows machine and got the email I realized I had two emails - one at 5:10 and one at 5:17… so have two 256gb pro max blues coming 9/22 😂

Apple should really consider if one does a Get Ready through their iPhone Upgrade Program to just push it through automatically at 8:00 am. Either you’ve agreed to pay in full or you’ve done a trade-in and already agreed to the terms of your loan through CitizenPay. Agreeing should be all they need. If they feel they need some sort of CYA, send a reminder that if you do not cancel 12 hours before your order automatically will go through on launch day.
 
Managed to slide my order in with a tentative delivery date of September 22

Let’s hope they actually pull it off this year - last time it got delayed because of some bs about “verifying my company VAT ID” lol

Yay, they processed the order that said “payment failed”. Because now I have another order number. Just great.
Glad I am not the only one that had this happen. Now the question is, how do we fix it or will it age off? My second attempt already charged me but not the payment failed one
 
The app is broken, use Safari if you can.

Can’t. Heading to work.

Here in NYC we don’t have service between stations.

With ship times into October and by November eventually for me.

I’ll keep my money.

Good idea though. Appreciate the assist.
