Southern California update:

1 hour in and delivery dates are slipping - now 2 weeks - while in store appointment pickups are 2-3 days after launch day...

256GB with Zeiss lens. I got the monogramming on the lens since the system said it wouldn’t impact the delivery date. Had the glitches with appointment times closing but got lucky the 3rd time. 2/2 pickup at the local Apple Store at 5 pm. Will shop for accessories between now and pickup.

Most expensive tech purchase I’ve made in decades but I’m an old geezer and don’t want to wait for the next version. I was going to get a new iPad Pro this year (if they so go OLED) but will keep my M1 iPad Pro around until after the Vision Pro is paid off.

Delivery to Texas now pushed to Mar 2-8. Had to cancel one of my orders because it didn't take my gift card.

Now trying to re-order and Apple Card payment is rejected :mad:

Man… bold of you to cancel. I would have just said screw it and kept the gift card for a future pirchase.

Figured out why the light seals are different. It depends on your Zeiss inserts. For one option, I chose “For seeing things far away” and got 25W.

The other option I chose “Both: seeing things far and close” and got 33W.

Noticed the same - deliveries are getting pushed back weeks now - means the Apple warehouses and UPS overnight flights are running out.

In store appointments are still available within the first few days of launch.

Can you use a different card to get your order in and then contact Apple to change media ?
Gift cards have been an issue on this pre-order.

Order thru by 5:15 PT, but still 2/6 shipping (512/med/med/21w) 😭

I also have a giant head so surprised on sizing. But I’ve scanned 4x now…
Just did the process over again, and got 2/2 shipping for 512/med/med/22w.

I wonder how different 21w and 22w are… and which one is right!

Got mine in! Was originally going to do Apple Card 12-month payments but it kept failing, so ended up just paying in full. Anyone else run into something similar?

Ordered.
Readers lens will be here 2-2 . I can play with those until my AVP arrives 2-6.
Reminds me of the original iPhone. I had that thing for 2-3 weeks before I could change my carrier and activate it. It sat on my nightstand and all I could do was the slide to unlock but nothing else.

You can always contact Apple customer support and they can change payment type and apply it to a 12 month payment plan.

Mine placed within 5 minutes of opening was able to get Apple Card financing.
