I think I could have ordered sooner. It kept saying view pricing rather than buy, so I assumed that meant it wasn’t on sale yet. Turned out it was. Hopefully that didn’t cost me a few weeks.
 
Got another Apple TV for my living room, and my previous 4k ATV will replace the A8 version in my bedroom.

Now to go back to ruminating over whether I want to upgrade my 2018 iPad Pro to the newer iPad or not.
 
5th gen? Are you from the future? ATV 4K is only on Gen 2 I believe.
SHHHH. Don't blow my cover. I'm from the year 2031. The 8th gen apple tv 4k is just out with the A15 chip, I've come back to 2021 to pre-order this remote.....

Just kidding. Whichever Gen it is, the 2017 4k.
 
Terrible experience, tbh. The app wouldn’t load or let me add things to the cart. It kept removing the items or telling me that they were no longer available.
Had to order everything separately since it wouldn’t let me add more than 1 item to the cart at any time 🤬
 
Funny how I had errors popping up when I tried to add the AppleTV without AppleCare and was being told “product no longer available”, but if I added AppleCare, it went through. Just removed AC from my cart and finished my order. Nice try, Apple! 😂
Genius!
 
Adding the desired models to favourites really helped. I tried to add them to cart and after multiple fails I was finally able to check out using Apple Pay. And then… it triggered Citibank’s fraud protection and locked my card…Finally after answering an SMS I was able to continue the transaction. Ridiculous.
 
Apple see what happens when you don't take your store down hours before you open up orders. I hope you learned your lesson
I wouldn’t doubt they used this as a test of what happens if they don’t bring their shop down, and they failed miserably. It should be able to flip a backend flag and make the product available for purchase without shutting down, but alas - looks like they’re just not equipped for it.
 
Tried using the app and safari and couldn't get in to get it until 8:10a. Whenever I would add to the bag and go to checkout the order was missing. June 9-23 for iPad Pro 12.9 1TB cellular.. smdh

Interesting. It worked for me.
 
Not working.

Apple Store on iPhone is not letting me add to bag.
Apple Store in Safari on the Mac, is letting me click through and pick options, add to bag, review bag ... : your bag is empty.

Sigh.
It worked for some of us.

We used the app, the Apple Store app. If that helps.
 
both for 21-27, that checkout was nutty

I'm really not sure if I'm going to get 3 or 4 new iPads and Apple TVs or just one. With as many times as I clicked purchase with Apple Card, then errors then tried again. Hopefully just one of each.

After initially trying to order through Apple, both on their website and app, I went to AT&T and got my pre-order in right at 7am CST. Shows shipping May 21-28 delivering May 24-31 for my 12.9” 256gb cellular iPP in gray. Ordered the Magic Keyboard from Apple and I could have picked it up today at my local store, but figured it was easy enough to have them ship it, delivering next week.
