The don’t have the 5th gen on the site, only the 4th gen. Unless there was some glitch when you were on earlier.

Very very odd, and it made it difficult to sleep. I like the little “you’re early” with the time message.

 

[Macintosh101]

it'll be pretty surprising if apple has finally figured out a way to not put down the store before pre-order. only 11 minutes away from tentative launching time and the store's still up?!

Given Apple’s technical know how, this shouldn’t be that hard for them to have figured out by now.

I’m in a Sydney and I wanna go to bed after ordering it… now I’m not sure if we’d see the preorder button go live at 10pm…

I'm jealous. It's 4:50am here in Arizona. I only got about 4 hours of sleep and I hope I'm able to sleep after.

It’s on the bottom of their home page, there’s a link to preorder. The 512 is already sold out

This isn't right. The time must be later.

But it’s unable to be ordered, just like Apple’s site. You must’ve gotten lucky.

When I called Apple this morning they were adamant preorders would go live at 1pm (I’m in the UK).

When I messaged them yesterday afternoon they were pretty firm that it would be at 12 noon Pacific Time. (8pm BST).

I’m in CA 🙁

Since Arizona doesn't observe DST, California and Arizona are the same time right now.

We all know they do it for the drama!

I meant it was unavailable to buy. I never saw any links actually activate the button. They either sold out fast or it was a glitch.

Whats the strategy here? Configure the one you want and keep hitting refresh?

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

get your refresh buttons ready

That's what I'm going for.

i can checkout 256GB silver 12.9. I just don’t want a cellular iPad.

 

[Lucifer666]

But the ATT site is live so they must have changed the process. Heck of a time to do that 😀

This is very unusual.

 

[mizzoucat]

Buying a cellular iPad in 2021 is just silly.

They sold out really fast. When I checked a couple of the lower storage capacity models were able to be added to the cart.

 

[limesmoothie]

I’ve got many tabs open in Safari, come on UK networks, open the pre-order.

 

[iamMacPerson]

Maybe they were unable to wake Tim this early for the second time in a week lol.

 

[acorntoy]

The last time I stayed up 24hrs was 10 years ago but I’ll become a zombie for this thing

 

[mizzoucat]

1 minute

 

[iamMacPerson]

Someone poke Tim with a stick... it's 5am in California.

 

[impatientashell]
