I’m buying a 13 Pro but I’m going to wait for a couple of weeks after people start getting them. Doing so allows me to avoid potential delays and to make sure everything works as expected.
 
Apple’s pre-orders suck, usually there the second they open and the app lags and when it lets me through like 5 minutes later, delivery date is a month out. Then on launch day, Apple stores near me have stock all day. So ive pretty much decided to never preorder anymore.
 
First time pre ordering from Apple. Just got my reminder email to log in at 0500. Hope this is smooth and easy
 
Apple expects record sales of the new phones. They know how many millions of us still with 6s. Here, the mini or pro, depending on the satisfaction level of owners.
 
One thing I've learned is to not rush getting a new iPhone the moment it's released. Wait 2-3 months because there's always, always some sort of manufacturing issue that gets sorted out later. Happened already with every iPhone I own, bought on release day and there's always some QC issue happening.
Counterpoint: that has not happened to a single phone I've owned that was bought on release day.

Can’t wait! I hope this is going to be a smooth process for everyone. Make sure you have all your information, address, phone number, payment info updated before Apple store shuts down for updates.

Once it's down. Can't do much until it's back up. Good luck 🍀

Damn, I thought it was going to be another 12:01 am PST......3:00am EST. I guess I will be doing it from work.
 
I completed my pre-order a few hours ago for the 13 Pro.
I'm in the UK and I will be working at 1:00 pm tomorrow.
I'm still working from home due to covid, but I will have my iPad close by to complete the order.
 
This is the most underwhelming iPhone release in recent memory. I wonder how well it's going to sell... I see no reason to upgrade from an iPhone 11 Pro Max yet.
It's going to sell like crazy despite your adverse feelings about it. Just because you don't care for this version doesn't mean the rest of the world feels the same way.

Not easy choosing a colour for the Pro models, I’m after darker colours, not a fan of the grey, or light blue. Could have done with a navy or matte black.
 
Apparently everyone forgot already about CSAM
No - just most EVERYONE don't have a need to worry about CSAM. Is it a privacy issue? Yes! But it is also a social justice issue - maybe the end is justified...

But then again, people can vote with their dollars and go to Android or some other phone.

You can pre-preorder....so I went on the apple site completed everything and it's now in my cart....kind of. All I have to do tomorrow is log on to the apple page, go to my cart and click order.
 
I love the naysayers who say this phone is underwhelming and it won't sell. 😂. That's what they hope will happen but the truth is the iPhone 13 is gonna rock in sales! There are tons of members in this very discussion preordering. Very sad people who want Apple's iPhone 13 to fail. Makes no sense. 🙄
 
upgrading from my Xs Max, will get the Pro (not max) because I think Max is too big. the biggest attraction is the macro photography and wide angle (big upgrade from Xs).

How do you get it in your cart on the website? I can’t do that on mine. I tried a few times, but I have to go through the selection steps each time. Weird.

What was the manufacturing defect for the last few iPhones?
 
I laugh every time I see Apple pre-order times. The only better time not to be a US-based Apple user is when it’s pre-order time!
