[Zangoose]

Got an order in at 13:02 for a 17 Pro, 256GB in deep blue

It only seems to work for existing loans? Are you sure?

Sorry, turns out my friend was already on iUP! Got my wires crossed chatting to him about this. My bad.

Weird, is there no way to join new at all??

Cosmic is great if you have an Hermes watch 👍

IF you have one. It's like the same price as a Pro Max iphone. absolute silliness. Some people have more money than brains.

I used to reserve through this page for years (including last year). It normally worked from the preorder day? It feels like they've shunted everything into the app this year.

There was a script someone wrote that would allow you to pick what you were after and then would check store inventory and tell you when your required device was in stock. You could then use that link for reservation.

InventoryWatch was a mac app that did the same but appears to be dead now.

Simplest and most efficient Apple Store pre-order I’ve ever had.
Was in by 13:01 and confirmation email 13:04.
Collecting 17 Pro Max 512 Cosmic Orange from Apple Stratford on Friday.

Pre ordered the Air 🤩

Has anyone in the country managed to place an order with O2? Can't see any evidence of anyone on X or here.

I keep getting booted out and having to restart the process, with long queues and loading times - garbled header code in some cases.

Seems they've had more than just high demand but the whole system has crashed out.

If anyone is desperate...

Sky Mobile have every colour and storage showing as launch day delivery for all models apart from the 2TB 17PM in orange (which shows "from the 19th" rather than delivery "on the 19th").

On Apple Store App go to the iPhones and click the thing at the top and when it checks your serial and says you're not a member it should let you join

Once you choose ‘select’ it takes you to the main product purchase page - given that the prices have ‘XX.XX’ under them, it’s like they forgot about the page dev! 🤣

I know a lot of people are in long-term commits to the phone networks but I never trust them with launch day stuff at all.

£1 below the free delivery cost and not available for collection. Annoying.

I mangaed to pick one up with free delivery?

Literally had a year to sort it out was the same last year they are useless.

Yeah if you want the most certainty then Apple is the way to go with keeping dates. Sky messed it up last year, people placing orders within a couple of minutes of pre-orders opening and being told delivery on launch day ended up waiting until mid-October! I've been assured they've resolved that issue for this launch though.

Gone a silver PM 2TB myself. Collection Friday.

Thats all my order panicking over for the day. Did an early order of the new Black Pearl Lego set at yikes o'clock this morning. It's already on back order!

This seems a whole new level of bad though - like catastrophic failure preventing any and all orders which they're still not able to fix.

 

[NvidiaIntelPC]

Do you have the cancel option on the app or web? I don’t see it, and somehow I’ve placed multiple orders! Only one shows in the app, but I’ve got 3 more with order references and emails and no way to cancel them.

 

[GigabitEthernet]

Will just have to keep re-trying the reserve link I guess, hopefully I can reserve one for launch day at some point and get on the Upgrade Programme!

Is no one buying the Air? They're still available on the 19th

 

[JulianL]

I got my 256GB Blue PM at 13:02 for a 19th Sep pickup (or delivery). Out of interest I did a dummy run to select the same purchase again without going through to the checkout. I did that a few minutes ago - at 13:59 - and it was quoting the delivery date (window) as 6th to 13th of Oct and no availability at my nearest Apple Stores.

I just did the same on a 256GB black iPhone Air (at 14:03) and that is still showing a 19th September delivery date or in-store pick-up. Interesting.

Pre-Ordered Orange iPhone pro with very but it hasn’t added the BNPL option does it add it when it arrives anyone know?

Tried to get it with Apple via Barclays but I think my income is low to them 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️

Add a cheap gift bag to the order

Ordered my 17 PM Orange, had email confirmation at 13.01 - 19th Sept delivery

I find this year pre order was so easy. No network congestion or crashes whatsoever!

I have pre order nearly every single iPhone from 3GS to 17 pro (except 13 and 14 on launch day)

This year the trade in price seems a little bit better then last year (£480 vs £500 for pro 128gb eg)

Not say I’m not liking Apple but I’m an android and iOS person, the gap on AI is huge! Especially on pixel phone.

See what updates on apple intelligence we will get this year.

 

[Eagle2]

O2 are a disgrace they changed all the prices about 15 min ago increasing the total price by approx £100 in line with all the other networks! The 17PM 512gb was at £1408 (total) to £1518!
