Apple store is glitchy, especially web which shows no delivery date, and no historical orders at the moment.

Interesting situation - 3 hours after pre-order, apple requested their money (HSBC "notification" letting me know). 3 minutes later, I received a phishing text for HSBC about an unknown payment (definitely fake).
Bearing in mind the only "notification" of the real apple payment was the HSBC app notification (no new email / apple store update / etc in 3 hours), do you think this is coincidence, or something somewhere is able to track me? (worrying)
The logistics on the Apple store is all over the place at the moment. I have had items arrive weeks ago that still show up on the Apple store as "Arriving soon". Something is definitely broken

Just had a similar problem with Barclaycard and fraud checks. Finally got through to Apple after an hour and they said not to worry as the payment itself won’t be taken out until Thursday. Not very reassuring though.

I wouldn’t worry to much. I ordered a Pro on a Barclaycard and wasn’t processed and cleared until the Tues after launch

Just finished speaking to my bank after 1hr 8mins (most of it on hold). He's cleared the payment on the system their end and updated it so I shouldn't have an issue. Now to get through to Apple to get them to take the payment over the phone.

Phew for the bank, apple should be able to take payment soon - hopefully won't affect delivery date.

Had issues with ordering my 12 Pro Max with pre-approved Apple Payments, Order was on hold which then changed to processing and now it's back to on hold. What's going on with Apple Store app? :rolleyes:
 
I have both for the 12 pro. One is very flexible, the other has a hard back and came in a set with 2 screen protectors. The hard back one is a better fit and good value with the screen protectors.

Yet another one stuck in the "pre-approved hold from hell" scenario with no shipping date at all showing. I've not been able to speak to Apple yet either so not filled with confidence.

did you go through iPhone payments? Mine has been on hold since my loan agreement email came at 13:17.

its 2020. I just can’t believe these big companies are still getting things like this wrong.

Indeed I did. Got pre-approved last night and completed my order about 13:03. How can Apple still be getting basics like a good pre-order experience so badly wrong?
