When You Can Pre-Order the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max and HomePod Mini in Every Time Zone

I took too long choosing between the black & blue colours for my 12, and I ended up receiving it 4 or so days after launch. Hopefully that doesn’t happen today. I’m getting a white mini.

When you find out that for my home city (Sydney) it’s is midnight instead...

Midnight on a Saturday doesn’t sound all that inconvenient to me. Hawaii‘s 3AM would be far worse.

Having said that, Apple has done a pretty good job timing the launch in a way that makes it happen at a somewhat practical time for the overwhelming majority of the world’s population.

Finally, I have been camping out side of the Apple store for 3 weeks now in the freezing cold for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The police have tried to remove me a couple of times, but now they leave me alone saying I'm a lost cause.
 
First time doing this for me. What’s the experience like? Site crashes constantly i assume?
 
What does it mean when they say 'pre-order'? Surely it's just 'order' i.e. you are placing an order for an iPhone?

„Pre-orders“ are orders for unreleased products. So, „order“ would be correct, too, but „pre-order“ gives a bit of additional information.
 
Woohoo! The day is finally here! I had gone through the pre-preorder process with the Apple Store app, but it didn’t retain any of it. I hope by the time I finish filling out all the information, the mini isn’t sold out.
 
Store just opened in LA. Someone will have a cute lil HomePod for the holidays.
 
Store opened for me on iOS Apple Store app on the iPhone at 8:06 EST. I had the new iPhone bookmarked, paid with Apple Pay, took less than 20 seconds.
 
App is back up and giving me an error messaging advising there has been an interruption but the UK store is still down when viewing in a browser.

I'm pre authorised for paying monthly too.
