Okay Im preordering the Pro in the next 90 min or so. I went through the app made sure my payment option is set up. I went through the steps of selecting which phone I want. Of course I can't add to the bag but do I have to select the features again once its available? It says to come back when pre order begins which Im assuming means start over?

EDIT: I reopened app and now it says its not till 5 AM PDT. Oh well.....

How do you prep it? Opening the app now just gives me the time they're allowing pre orders
It is too late but it sounds like you kind of did it.
The last step is to add it to Siri shortcut so that all you have to say is, "hey siri,.... Preorder my iPhone"
I prepped three preorders by mistake. So Siri will order three phones and I will have to cancel two of them afterwards.

Have you used Siri before? I’m not trusting her with something this important!!

“Hey Siri, pre-order my iPhone.”
“The Astros beat the Rays yesterday in game 5 of the ALCS.”
🤦‍♂️

I always order via the Apple Store app. Year after year, it’s the smoothest way.

App but I do have the browser open as well in case of any hiccups.

App seems quickest given that you're already logged in etc

I woke up 3 minutes before 5AM and I couldn't pre order via the app, it kept erroring out when attempting to pay with apple pay or even my AMEX card. I tried for almost 10 min. I then did it via the browser and it gave me the error again a few times but eventually it went through via the browser. The app kept crashing. Luckily for me I have the privacy extension on my chrome so it prefills my CC info and got it with a blue case too!
