App worked well. Everything went through without a hitch. What I got probably goes without saying.

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.

Problem was, the app also had the same problems too. If Apple attempted this shutdown-less preorder window, more people would be in an uproar. Just glad to was just for an ATV for me. If I was the dude with the 3 iPad Pros here, I would have been ticked if I kept getting “product not available”, even on the app.

Can confirm: was able to order an iPad through the app. It was suffering a bit from some availability quirks and not always letting me add to cart (or would say it replaced items in cart due to availability) but in the end it worked.

May 27 is then earliest stated arrival date for my confit in Canada. (12.5/256/5G/Silver.)

Quoting myself from other forum thread. Same issues as others report, but got my order through in the end ~5-10 into the hour.

12.9 iPad, ATV4k and iMac 24 512gb 16gb ordered. Expensive day. Not sure if I should order new magic keyboard or see how well last years works. New keyboard shipping quickly and return time may eclipse the shipping of new iPad.

 

[RamGuy]

Oh my.

1x 4-pack AirTags
2x Apple AirTag Keyrings
2x Apple AirTag Loops
2x Apple MageSafe Duo
2x Apple iPad Pro 12,9-inch WiFi+Cellular 1TB
1x Apple Keyboard Folio
1x Apple Magic Keyboard
2x Apple TV 4K

This sure got expensive.

Just bought 4 remotes , can’t wait , sick to death of the inaccuracy of the black Siri remotes touchpad

 

[RavynArcadia]

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

Yeah, that’s what I got too.

 

[johnyslats]

How did you get education pricing on the remote?

Via unidays site. Only applies to remote as it falls under accessories. No discount available on Apple TV models

Apple TV 4K 64GB acquired. Easy decision for me as the old Apple TV 4K will serve the bedroom's TV (I can't stand webOS anymore).

Ordered via a local retailer (Greece, Kotsovolos) and I don't have a delivery date (as usual).

Had the same error thing Apple store app ordering Apple TV 4K 2nd Gen Finally got my order in 👊🏼👊🏼

Really wanted a yellow iMac but after three failed attempts with the not available errors, I ordered a blue one. That went through with shipping date in early June. I went back again and tried to order a yellow one and it went through with shipping May 21! I now have a yellow and a blue on order with a few days to figure out which to cancel.

I'm guessing this situation is why they shut down the store before big launches. I presume they were trying a new process here and it appears to have not gone as planned, judging from these comments. Strange that there was no time given for the start of sales as has been done in the past. I don't think anyone minds the store being shut down for a couple of hour in the early morning US time if it avoids some of the sync hassles that I presume happened here.

I had a Walmart gift card so I preordered a 64GB Apple TV. My delivery status is May 27th.

 

[Shanghaichica]

Same others, add to bag, then got checkout and it's been removed.

Went through all of this. Wanted the 32GB model. Managed to get an order in for the 64GB in the end. I got delivery for 21-27 May.

 

[otternonsense]

I'm torn on the 12.9 M1 iPad Pro since I want to step up from my 10.5" Pro. But I was hoping at least for touchID in addition to FaceID, not to mention all this bonkers power hampered down by iPadOS.

 

[Techwatcher]

Secured the M1 5G iPad Pro 12.9 1 TB (Space Gray)! Threw in a White Magic Keyboard too. Going to give my current 12.9 iPad Pro (3rd Gen) to my sister.

 

[JippaLippa]

Man the store was wild...
spammed the F5 for about 15 minutes and the product just failed to go into the shopping cart.

After 20 minutes of fighting the website, I managed to get myself a nice Apple TV 4K.

I'm preparing for the WWDC 2021, which is going to be even wilder

 

[Apple_Robert]

Tv remote ordered. Now to find a case to make it easier to hold.

By the time I got past all of the errors regarding “item no longer available”, my iPad slipped to June 9th-June 23rd.

What is a potentially better way for Apple to do this pre-order thing?

Brutal solutions include:
Placing a $100 fee for a first-day pre-order would rapidly quiet down the rush, thin out the herd, if you will.
