Does anyone have an EE 20% or 30% discount code? It’s been removed form my works benefits website ☹️ I’ve given up with my upgrade program reservation.
 
Hmm,

I now have 2 orders for a Gold Pro 256GB, both with 3 gift cards (the same ones) and the balance on my CC coming due to website crashing. I think Apple will screw this up and cancel both once they realise the gift cards are used twice

Oh Gosh, how's this for timing... after spending near enough £2000 40 minutes ago, just got an email from work saying I'm getting an Apple Gift Card as a staff recognition award ... grateful, but could have done with that yesterday! 😆
Fingers crossed it's a nice amount, at least enough for a case (or three)

You might be able to change your payment method and add it in. At the momento mine saying can't change but can in a few hous. Am sure I seen here that others doing that where card issuer has been issue.

Was at checkout point this morning 10 mins after preorder began, but hesitated for a few min on whether to get it shipped or pick up at local Apple store. Well, that hesitation caused me a 3 week delay in getting my phone.
 
Pleasantly surprised that the pro phones weren’t instantly sold out/dates slipped when i checked at 1:30pm. I’m looking to get the pro 14 but from JL. So hopefully it’s not a bum fight when they open their preorders.

confirmed order at 13.03.... god it felt like it was half an hour before I got in!

this was the first time in forever the App Store app opened first time bang on 1pm... just the error on the finally step of checkout when saving address.. moved to apple.com on a browser (the site showed store down, but the menu for my account was working and went into 'account' my pre-order was there) and completed with a few clicks!

Mine took about 2 mins until almost there disappeared

Congrats all! Having a nightmare. My Barclays pre-approval has disappeared from all devices and see the dates have slipped. Time for plan B

I’ve stuck in a backup order with Amazon just in case that does actually arrive on the 16th.

whats best pay in full from currys and get 4.5% through work lump sum or do interest free full amount over 24/36 months with monthly payments?
 
Also suffered the app phone number thing. It also defaulted to an address I haven’t used in years, which is bizarre as I’ve placed more recent orders.

Had to order on my laptop which I wasn’t prepared for…

Got a Pro Max 128GB in Space Black for delivery on 26th Sep - 3rd Oct, which I guess isn’t terrible.

Well for some reason the Barclays pre-authorised finance didn't work for me... it was all in place, but for some reason it kept saying cannot be processed so I just gave up and ordered it outright. Launch day delivery date and the colour/storage I wanted (Space Black 256GB 14 Pro).

Now to await the YouTube reviews...

EDIT - It seems it was an app error with the phone number on my account, no reason why it did this but so be it. Apple should really sort this out as it seems to occur every year, various problems that aren't explained.

You are not alone with this. I had a nightmare trying to order via the app. The phone number on the shipping address had gone missing for some reason and no matter what I tried to enter I kept getting an “error processing your request. Please try later”. In the end I had to use the web which went through cleanly. Lost 10 to 14 days on the delivery date. Not a first world issue but annoying that the app won’t accept my phone number. Just called tech support and they can’t figure out why either. Never had an issue before.

That's the exact same issue I had, except when I tried switching to the website it wouldn't show my pre-pre-order anywhere. Really frustrating!

Time for my annual comment on this thread :)

Managed to get my order through for 256GB iPhone 14 Pro Max in Space Black for collection on Friday - ideally wanted delivery, but after countless errors the date started slipping and didnt want to take any chances. Confirmation email through, so happy days!
