iPad Pre-Order 12:01 Tonight...

[boltjames]

I'm saying it will start worldwide at the same time, yes. Which will be October 17 in US and Europe, and October 18 in NZ.

Stop with the New Zealand Theory already.

He doesn't answer that. He has one of his flunkies handling his emails.

Why? It actually makes sense. Assuming that all pre-orders start go live at the same time worldwide, then since the AU and NZ online stores state the 18th then orders won't go live for at least 3 and a half more hours since its 8:30pm on the 17th down there.

So I'm guessing we won't see anything happen until either 8am or 1pm eastern.

Better get that back to Engineering before the roll out next year

Yeah, Stupid beta Apple Watch, I MISSED PUSHING THE PREORDER BUTTON arrrggghhh

I am so excited Air 2 was way more than I was expecting.

I like Apple products like everyone else here and am buying one an Air 2 as well. But let's be serious, there was not a single unexpected thing in this launch. Literally not one. It's a little faster, a little lighter, and has Touch ID. Let's not make it something it isn't.

 

[urda]

I'm probably going to call it a night here shortly

 

[betabeta]

I'm going to sleep now so obviusly preorders will start as soon as do, you guys can thank me later

 

[AdonisSMU]

So far Ive counted 10k down the drain...

 

[stretch80]

Well just woke up... Still nothing. C'mon! Take my money! Lol

 

[NJRonbo]

Apple Store just went down - a good sign

 

[stretch80]

And Apple Store just went down! Yee haw!

 

[Rgladman]

I am predicting 9 AM Eastern, that would be Midnight in Australia and match their webste stating available October 18th.

 

[MentalFloss]

So, it looks like we are getting closer.

A slightly related question: Does anyone know if kidneys grow back after selling them on the Chinese black market to be able afford more Apple products?

 

[mct74]

How long do they usually take to bring the store back up on these types of launch days?

Looks like the New Zealand Theory (NZT) was correct!

 

[iphone6fan]

Hopefully the store will come back at 8:00 am Eastern time.

 

[rollerbones]

Is it that hard to enable the "purchase" button?

 

[Charliebird]

You guys are still up? I told you to go to bed!

 

[normanfox]

this preorder event is boring ever, nothing like the ipad Retina and iphone 6 preorder.

 

[iphone6fan]

Hopefully, the store will reopen in less than 30 minutes!!

 

[mbaturin]

Strange that the store has been down so long, no?
