I was able to cancel my previous order and redo so I can change the shipping address still gave me the same time of Oct 10-17 and all stores near me were full when it came to do pick up
That looks navy blue to me....almost like the old midnight blue leather from back when.
Yep, I tried to pick 8am right after the store opened and then my Apple Pay wouldn't process for a few tries. When it finally went through, it auto-switched to delivery.
This was theeeee absolute most difficult pre-ordering experience I’ve had…and I upgrade every year. The TL;DR is that I still managed to get what I wanted, a Dark Purple 128gb 14 Pro with release day pickup. The too long version is that it took forever, and I currently have 2 orders for it. I did the pre-pre order through the app so I could speed through my worst-case scenario order if needed, and it turns out I did. I had 1) military discount, which you can’t get through the app (nor can you use it with Apple Card financing, but I’ll come back to that), and 2) a $354 Apple Account balance that I wanted to use. Well, my first attempts were through the website, which I couldn’t even access until ~8:15EST. While waiting for that, I tried several times to complete the “Get Ready” I’d done through the app. Kept getting to payment and it failed authorization…for all 3 methods I attempted. One I could understand (my Discover tends to err on the side of caution and send a text asking if I attempted a transaction), but the other 2 should have had no problems. One was my Apple Card that has a zero balance (but is still active)! Apple Pay wouldn’t work. Credit cards wouldn’t work. When I finally got in through the app…same thing. Finally about 8:50 I was able to get it through in the app; not ideal as it was the monthly financing which I didn’t want to do because I couldn’t get the $100 mil disc nor use my Apple Account balance. But I’d rather do that than nothing. Even after placing that order, I tried several more times to place an order through the military storefront and that FINALLY went through about 10:50. And still for Sept 16 pickup. That was my ideal situation as I was able to get the $899 price and use my $354 balance. The other piece is that we will be traveling; we check out of our hotel in Orlando that day to head to TN. The earliest I was able to get for pickup by that point was 2:45pm but I did order a watch yesterday with an 11:00 time slot so hopefully they’ll take pity on me and give me both then or my husband is gonna be PISSED that we’re not at least 3 hours down the road by then 😂
This is one of those times where I don’t mind being color blind 👩🦯👩🦯👩🦯
I love Apple throwing supply chain issues in every companies face with the quick turn around and one week delivery from order date (for many of us....) for all but one of the iPhone 14 models.
I ordered both ink and midnight and put them side by side in sunlight. Ink is definitely a very dark purple (blue?), compared to midnight, which looks black (though technically, it's blue-black, but I don't really see the blue too much).
But without the side-by-side, you would think ink was black. It's only next to each other can you see how the shades are definitely different, with midnight being very black. Ink looks like a deep purple/off-black, depending on your eyes.
512GB Pro Max in Deep Purple. Hopefully I like them better this go around.
iPhone preparing to ship but no change on Watch
Like Sharpie ink-purple undertones
I think I am more confused from how you just described it!! 🤣
I’m on Verizon and so far so good.
All of us with the same story, and Postal Service 9/23 sure hope that is the truth....
That’s the best way to go. Those bands can be tricky with the sizing.
I posted earlier but I had the same thing happen and contacted Apple Support. The model I wanted was (and is) still in tock for the 16th so they told me I should just cancel and re-order. I did, and for the second time it showed me 9/16 at checkout and then 9/23 afterwards so something weird is going on with the orders. I'm getting the 1TB so there's plenty of availability even in-store but it keeps pushing the shipping date back when I order for delivery
With what case are you going to cover that gorgeous purple?
Some say Ink lookish blue-ish, while some (like me) say its closer to purple.
I wish Apple would just name the colors straight away. Ink? Succulent? Just call it &^%$ing light green. Stop making us guess.
