Apple aren't the only one with issues
Yeah the issues with Apple being down and the App showing some stock as unavailable as annoying, fact is so many retailers get this issue on big launches, not least ticket vendors. I'm not saying that makes it okay. But sadly it happens.
However, if macrumors want to start harping on about how bad it is, they shouldn't throw stones in glass houses.
Ive been trying to log into my account here to post for well over an hour. Kept telling me it didn't exist. So then i chose to retrieve my password. Kept telling me no account associated with my email. Then i thought sod it i'll set up a new account. Wouldn't let me because it then told me the very email i'd just tried in the sentence before was already used!!. So i used a different email address and set up a new account. I did that and activated the confirmation link. Then it wouldn't log me in!! So they're having problems too, and yes thats annoying as well. unfortunately it happens.
Luckily i got into Apple via safari on my macbook and got My phone in the UK, 32 minutes after sales were supposed to go live. Even after I placed that order I still couldn't get in on the App, nor on some other web browsers.
