FWIW, Apple appears to have released additional iPhone 15 Pro units (but not 15 Pro Max) for 9/22/23 in-store pickup this morning.

Can’t remember the last time the apple store crashed like this. Wonder if that means interest in the new phones or will be greater than most analysts predicted

Also. If i wanted to order something on a website that would crash i would get Taylor Swift tickets

I think Apple will take the favorable comparison. Saying the new iPhone is as popular as Taylor Swift tickets and actually crashed Apple's website is a pretty good brag.

I used a little “glitch” on ATT website to get my order in at 7:30am EST on Friday, so I’m scheduled for a Day 1 delivery on the White Titanium Max.

Yep. You are at the mercy of UPS and the delivery requires a signature, at least it used to. Last year I got home from work late and found a Sorry We Missed You sticker on my door. It was a nightmare from there. It said they "might" try tomorrow but for best results go to the UPS delivery center to pick up delivery. So I went there and there were over 50 folks waiting for phones that had missed deliveries. They had two people working to check you in and then you had to wait for the driver who had your phone to get to the the delivery center from his normal route, check in and get the packages off his truck. Needless to say 90 minutes waiting AFTER the driver got back to the center. Never again.
I usually have mine held at the hub, and pick it up first thing in the morning when they open up.
 
It took me 17 minutes to get in, my pre-preorder kept disappearing, and then the trade I’m option was giving me issues. At 8:21am, I finally received my confirmation email with a delivery date of 9/22. Almost 2 hours later, I get a text from my credit union verifying if the charge was fraud or not. A quick call to them, and 10 minutes later, I was able to have the card ran again, with my delivery date unchanged. This evening my iPhone showed up in my UPS MyChoice account.

Mine is on the way too. If you have UPS My Choice you should be able to pre-sign for it, I was able to do this. There again I live in a house in a low crime area. If I lived in an apartment or a higher crime area I wouldn't do this. Your mileage may very...

How were you able to pre-sign? On my UPS My Choice, the option to pre-sign is there, but when I click "Submit" it does not work. Tried it on phone and desktop. :(

Same here. I ordered two phones and suspected that the two charges in a row would trigger a fraud alert. I actually called Bank of America the day before to ask if they could notate my account or something to prevent that; they told me not to worry, it would go through. Same thing - text 2 hours later asking me if I made the charge - that text should be immediate after they decline something! But I also kept the same delivery date after clearing the charge, so all good...

I did the same thing you did. I called my credit union the day before to notate my account of the exact amount to be charged, and they told me as long as I have shopped with the merchant in the past, I would be fine. It was all a lie. If I would’ve used my credit card, I would’ve got the fraud alert sooner. Anywho, at least we still have a 9/22 delivery date.
 
I'm hoping that's the case (I've always been able to get launch-day delivery). I tried right at 8am EST with the app and couldn't get through until about 8:05. And then, it kept throwing up an error saying that my saved config for preorder couldn't be retrieved. Then I tried going through and ordering it like normal, and it wouldn't add to cart. Tried through Safari and Edge during the same time with similar errors.

Eventually, my order went through at about 8:25, but by then, I got the 10/4 - 10/9 shipping notice. Hopefully, I can get it sooner, but it won't be the end of the world.

It's not like it's life or death if I have to wait two weeks to get my new $1,300 iPhone 15 Pro Max. We're all spoiled brats -- true first-world problems :cool::p
My 256GB white 15 Pro Max just updated to 9/22! Hope you had the same luck.
 
I guess I was fortunate then. I had to refresh the store page a couple of times but by 07:10 Friday morning I was good to go. Now just waiting until Friday.

UPDATE: Both phones left Anchorage, AK shortly after Midnight.

I pre-ordered through AT&T (somehow my order went through at 6:55 am CT) Friday 15th. I received an email this morning (9/21/23) with FEDEX tracking numbers and estimated delivery of Friday 22nd between 8:30 am -12:30 pm. I ordered the 256 white 15 Pro Max.

My phones showed delivery October 4th - 9th but they switched to delivery September 28th now. Very excited.

Edit: In the UPS app it shows delivery Monday September 25th. My watches are supposed to come tomorrow but haven’t shipped so I’m confused.

Mine switched to September 28th from October 4-9. UPS showed the 25th but now it’s changed to pending delivery date. Hoping for a Monday delivery.
