This is the first year I've had issues pre-ordering. What kind of stock does Apple typically have in-store on launch day?

if you have October onward delivery, might as well wait for iPhone 15 at that point

I was able to get the iPhone 14 Pro Max Deep Purple 512Gb next Friday.
Then in a separate order I got the new AirPods Pro with the 23rd delivery date, right before a vacation trip woo! 😁

So I got the scare of my life. After my order was in,I received that it was to the wrong address. My old home. It was not easy but I was able to get it deleted and reorder for the Apple store. It still comes on opening day, but 2 and a half hours after my Apple Watch. I will happily take it!

I kept refreshing but it still took a couple of minutes, or at least it seemed that way, to get the store app to let me in. However, I got the Pro in silver for a 9/16 date.

Interesting, I just got charged for the phone. I thought you only get charged once the phone is scanned in their system stateside? Doesn't matter either way I suppose

Alright... That was the most frustrating I've had a pre-order be in a long time. Got the 'finishing touches' for a while, and when I finally got in (had to REBOOT my phone) it was SLOW. Every step was met with loading circles and delays, then the T-Mobile EIP completely did not work at all (told me my phone # is inactive????). By the time I dealt with all this I had long since lost a launch day window. Finally got an order in and it gave me a Sep 28-30 window, but right after that order went in the site said Oct 3-10, so I have a bad feeling my order will actually be pushed into that window. Made ANOTHER order for pickup on Sunday 9/18 in Honolulu, which is on another island and will require a flight, but it's a cheap and fast flight.

Really horrible experience, partially Apple's fault and partially T-Mobile's fault.
