That was a PITA. Things kept popping in and out of my cart. In Safari where I was signed in things weren’t showing up to add but in Chrome I could so I loaded it up and then when I’d go to check out the iPad Pro 12.9 would pop out of my cart, or the new Apple TV. The Mallard Green iPad Pro case was the only thing that ever stayed.

I ended up doing two orders to get everything to go through because for some reason it didn’t like processing both new things at the same time. That was a bad experience. Most of the buttons on the store didn’t even say buy on them, just “view pricing” and that’s in a fresh browser session that hit the site five minutes after launch so it wasn’t caching stuff.

I had everything ready before bed with myself logged in with multiple tabs open to each product page so I could quickly refresh and add them and that plan quickly went out the window. Still said a ship date of May 21-28 for both orders.

Get. In.

Interesting. It worked for me.
It took some playing around with configs for it to work (see how I couldn’t add ATV to my cart unless I added AppleCare post). Bunch of people hit some buggy points buying … buuuuuuut it worked for you so we’re all cool. 😜🤣
 
The iMac would be such a tempting insta-buy if only there were a 32 GiB option.
The iMac will be an instant buy if it comes with a 30” screen and a 2021 M2 chip.

Meanwhile, I do believe there is so much demand for the small 24” iMac even without 32GiB RAM, that it will be sold out within 24 hours. Apple knows what it is doing. Apple made a perfectly sellable 24” iMac. You won’t find it sitting in stores gathering dust.
 
I ordered the iPad Pro 12.9 and Apple TV 4K but had to quit the Apple Store app a few times to get rid of the error message when I tried to add my selections to the Bag.

I finally succeeded about 6 minutes after 5am. And I received emails confirming the purchases.

The delivery times were stated as May 21-May 28 for the iPad Pro 12.9 and May 21-27 for the Apple TV 4K.

My job is done and I am going back to sleep.
 
I ordered an Apple TV 4K 64GB within the first couple of minutes of availability. Delivery date estimated as 27 May, so either lots of people have faster fingers than I do, or their inventory for the product isn't huge.

I see one of the M1 iMac specs has already slipped to 9 June in the UK. Looks like some people must like the design then. There's no accounting for taste... 😉
 
I went through the Apple Education Store to order the iMac and besides the actual add to cart button not loading until 10 minutes after the hour everything else was smooth. Upgraded most things, It wouldn't let me pick it up at the Apple Store down the road. I had to have it delivered. Delivery estimated for May 21-27, Phoenix AZ
 
Finally got my order for 1TB 12.9" IPP and new Apple TV 4k 32GB! iPad "Arrives: May 21 - May 28" and Apple TV "Arrives May 21 - May 27 by Express Delivery". New 128GB, 256GB & 1TB iPads deliver from June 9 - June 23 now, while 2TB & 512GB models still show May...

Dude. You have old ideas about how much RAM you need. The SOC of the M1 is a paradigm change and a significant advance. 16GB is more than enough.
You know nothing about my use cases, and if my 7-year-old MBP has 16 GiB, and memory is often the bottleneck, then I want more than that now.

To be clear, yes, this is a low-end Mac. I get that. It's just that the CPU, GPU, and SSD would all be massive upgrades compared to what I have. The RAM wouldn't. So I'm a bit bummed out I have to wait a little longer still.

Meanwhile, I do believe there is so much demand for the small 24” iMac even without 32GiB RAM, that it will be sold out within 24 hours. Apple knows what it is doing. Apple made a perfectly sellable 24” iMac. You won’t find it sitting in stores gathering dust.

Yup. I think this is a pretty good product. I'm also not complaining, just a bit impatient to get a higher-end ARM Mac. :)

Was able to order a 256Gb Space Grey with Cell/WiFi. May 21-28 Delivery. Took them about 10 minutes to get the site working right.

LOL... that plan quickly went out the window!

Some of us intentionally avoided the browser and relied on the app instead. Learned that from the old iPhone days. The app loads faster and cleaner.
 
Went in from regular web browser, chose my ipad pro, added to cart, and paid. May 21-28. No muss, no fuss. I didn't try at the stroke of the hour, however- about 10 after.

Wife will be very happy to replace her ipad 4.
 
Both 4K Apple TV’s were sold out on AU Apple website.
got one from Harvey Norman. Then they were back in stock on Apple 🤷
Hopefully I don’t have to wait to lobby for it.
 
That sucked. I tried to order with a trade in and it just would not do it so had to go with two separate orders for Ipad Pro and Apple TV. Ugh!

Maybe waiting ten minutes makes sense. To avoid the initial crush? Let the clicking subside... then swoop in, even if you’re using a web browser and not the Apple Store app?

Huzzah to you! No muss, no fuss, for the win!
