PSA: Apple's iPhone 13 Pre-Order Setup Process Is Sending 'Expired Pre-Order' Messages to Some Users, But It's Likely Just a Glitch [Update: Fixed]

This is what I'm getting too. Did they already run out of the blue max?

Don’t think that matters. I’m trying to get the pink one for my mom and getting this error at the accessories part.

Maybe Apple should go to pre-pre-pre orders next time so the pre-pre-orders go more smoothly.

was thinking the same 😂 I just love the fact that you can now preorder your preorder. Can’t wait to pre order the pre order for my iPhone 14 preorder

My preorder has expired too and can’t place another preorder. It states the selected model is Not available. Wow pre pre order sold out!

Holy carp. Samsung has acquired Apple!

(Don’t judge but I’m also a Samsung fan and this happens).

Reminds me of the old George Carlin routine about pre-boarding an airplane.

Ty for sharing!

I’m chatting with tech and they “say” they are fixing the error but no ETA.

Go to the Apple Store App, select your profile picture, look under pre-orders. It should still be there even if you get the ‘expired’ message.

I’m having a different issue… can’t even move forward…

Here's the reply I got from Apple Support through chat

That routine is so good.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

When will this be fixed!!!

As long as it is fixed by tomorrow morning, no harm no foul. Imagine the chaos if this was happening AFTER sales went live.

I remember iPhone 4s they sent me two phones and told me to keep it, I paid for both, 200 each (subsidized pricing att) sold it for a grand day 1.

lol won’t happen again I’m sure

 

[makingmusic]

Since the error occurs when I click “Browse iPhone accessories” I wonder if we have to start over when this is fixed or can just continue clicking on this option and at some point it will go through??

 

[randomthoughts]

So are we all pre-pre-ordering? Why not just let everyone pre-order now? Seems silly to do all this to go back and click a button on Friday (but yeah I completed it anyway).

Affecting me as well (UK)

I mean I can’t preorder now.

 

[Cryates]

It’s already working just fine for me again

Stupid errors. I’d fire the dev team in charge of this. So many ways to easily test.

I received an "Expired Pre-Order" message - is it likely it's just a glitch?

If the Siri team hasn't been fired how could you think that the team responsible for this would even be so much as talked to about this

 

[Delorean2006]

I had this, but all fixed for me now, my preorder is now showing.

How could it be sold out if they aren’t for sale? You are not reserving anything when you get pre-approved.

Definitely a glitch. Mine is restored already.

You mean pre pre pre Approval, right?

Update- it’s working now.
