iPad WTF Apple?

Maybe you need to think about moving.

Indeed, that’s human right

Japan is 7-10 weeks wait on most and 10-13 weeks on a few

So it was just you that was sleeping then?
A fair few were obviously awake to push pre orders out. Why aren’t they whining like little girls?

I am a dual-citizen so I keep tabs on my non-US side's community reactions (same time zone as Japan), and everyone is happy and more than willing to either stay up all night or wake up early JUST to watch the keynotes. They also wait until the newest ios betas drop which is usually past midnight in that time zone and they announce it for everyone so we can all get the betas. Some even fly over to Japan or HK because we're never the first launch country, just to get their hands on the newest Apple devices on launch day. I don't see people complaining.

Also, for the US, I live on the east coast so the usual preorder time for iPhones has always been 3 AM. I stay up just to order that on time so I don't get it late. I'm not complaining either. You are given weeks' notice of the keynote.

The OP is on an island all alone it appears.

Nearly every launch, I have to wake up at 3am if I want a product on launch day. Why didn't you plan ahead? It takes about 10 minutes to order, then you go right back to sleep. I can only think of one or maybe two other launches where the preorders started right after the keynote.

Welcome to my world.

IIRC it happened more often in the "old days" (1998-2006ish). I would agree, in recent memory it seems like the majority of launches are a few days/weeks after the keynote.

What time was the start of iphone ordering in Japan

 

[firewire9000]

lol OP is really pissed off, that’s hilarious. First world problems.

 

[Newtons Apple]

Might be mistaking but it is always dark somewhere on earth with people sleeping. Apple can not make everyone happy.

 

[Jimpilot]

Yes I think iphone pre-orders were mid day in Japan. Seems like they're trying to balance ordering open times a bit.

I’d rather bitch and complain. That’s the freedom of being American, we have that God give right

With your attitude I knew you weren’t Japanese.
