That was a rocky launch...

[SpaceGrayAlways]

Got the order in around 5:03AM PT, but that was one of the rockiest launches in a while. Bag was not functioning, items were not showing as available... Anyone else?

 

[Shark5150]

Nope

 

[Feek]

No issues whatsoever.

Yep, took multiple retries because it let me add to the bag but when I went to check out it said not available. Finally got the order done a few minutes ago at 8:11 EDT.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one! It was very unexpected!

I had lots of issue. Couldn’t add it to my bag first. Then I got it added and it gave an error message. Happened about 3 times. Then I couldn’t get the 32GB model in and was able to get the 64GB in. Then it rejected my card twice and on the third go I got through lol

just checked my email. It says 1:09 pm.

What delivery date did you get?

Not sure if 2 minutes of issues counts as a rocky launch...

Lol nothing rocky about it apart from the 60 second glitch.
You could preorder an Apple TV in a weeks time and still get it for launch day.

Airtags were much better last week. It was smoother for me.

That's fair, though I would argue that generally speaking there are few if any issues on most recent launches whereas I have seen a number of people express significant glitches while ordering this morning. The poll above also suggests that a lot of people experienced this.

The Apple Store also did not go dark before the launch today, different than how it was last week.

I see the 32GB is now available. I can’t be bothered to change it. I’m just going to stick with the 64GB. I was thinking about the 64GB yesterday anyway.

I did the same when I ordered the original 4k box. The price difference wasn't very much and it's better to have more storage and not need it than less storage and need more.

I’ve had the 32GB HD model for 5.5 years and I’ve not come close to filling it up. However you never know.

On the iPad Pro side of things it was more like 15 - 20 minutes of issues, while racing to get the earliest ship dates.

 

[Goodeye]

I had issues saying it wasn’t available that was at 5:01AM PDT. However I closed the app, reopened and it worked fine

I would add this article as further evidence

Apple app and website forced $8 express shipping on the remote. Thought it was a glitch but still showing that as of now on my end.

You should be able to edit that after and/or reach out to Apple for support. Give it maybe 24 hours to process before you reach out.

i'm actually trying to figure out why i need this new ATV? do i really NEED to replace our current 4K models?

Same boat. Thought long and hard about this and decided just to get the new remote. Current remote already on eBay! Imagine a fair few will do the same
