This was very smooth. Set up everything in the Apple store app, got on at 7AM, finished the order. Easy as pie. 128GB iPhone 12 Pro in Pacific Blue. Ordered a Berry silicone magsafe case, magsafe charger, and 20W adapter. Ordering the X three years ago was a lot more involved!

Can't wait for next Friday.
Which is the berry option?

This is my first iPhone launch paying in full on the Apple Store app. I usually have to call T-Mobile to preorder with financing.

I must say, I definitely prefer checking out with Apple. Ordering through T-mobile was always a headache with my order disappearing/having to reorder etc.

HI,

Anyone else see this? I ordered for store pickup next friday and got the email confirmation with my window so everything looks fine but I note that credit card (Chase Visa)has not been authorized yet? Is this typical? Thanks

Congrats everybody who got orders in for the phone they wanted this morning. Checking stock in my area (Dallas), it seems like the Silver and Pacific Blue Pro models were either most popular or least available.

I'm waiting for the Pro Max launch so I can order a Pacific Blue 256 GB. Haven't done a launch-day iPhone event since the 6s+ and am still using that phone as my daily driver, so it's awesome to be part of the fun again.

Same as every year prior, it's not until it ships.

While waiting for Verizon approval my date slipped to Oct 28-30 so I chose express shipping, but not sure that makes any difference. And I thought gold would be the least popular choice and easy to get. :(

My experience is that it doesn't, at least for the first week or two. Everything ships UPS Express.

Ha! It didn’t take long to get this question. The Processing and Preparing to Ship phases cause a lot of consternation. It’ll probably be Sunday or Monday, but you’ll see a bunch of anxiety here as we obsessively check our orders. All part of the fun. 😃

This is the one thing that literally makes me mental about iPhone pre-orders, the deep, deep need to check the status every 2-3 hours. The next 7 days - time from when you place the order to the time when the phone is actually in your hands - doesn't quite feel like 7 days, more like 3 months for some goofy reason. 😆

Curious to anyone that did the AT&T $800 credit through the apple website, did you get to apply it? Did it just take you to the ATT website?

Were we supposed to do something on the order screen? I thought you just handle that after the fact, at an AT&T store.

I ordered on the Apple Store app to get the AT&T promo. I selected AT&T installment plan and followed the guidance for AT&T special deal, by saying I did not have a trade-in, since I'll be doing the trade-in via AT&T. It sounds like you follow all the guidance for the $800 credit deal and then the monthly bill credit starts to appear after the trade-in is processed. You can read the T&C for all the details of the deal. Years ago my wife got a credit for the iPhone 7 through AT&T and all worked well.

I am surprised. My local apple store still have in store pick available for the 12 Pro in Pacific Blue (256 GB) for launch day ( next Friday). Never seen that with any iPhone usually pre orders would already be pushed back by now. Everyone must be waiting on the 12 Pro Max and 12 mini.

That is pretty normal in my experience. I am pretty sure that they allocate a lot of phones for the stores to increase foot traffic into the stores.

Everyone is getting the 128gb which was pushed back to Nov. 6th.
