Other Apple has blacklisted me.

Thanks, and I hope your friend is doing well.

I can still buy stuff from the Apple Store.

Bruv so when you call  online store next time let them know that you need this escalated to the corporate office!

Even other cards not going through for Apple online store regardless if it’s shipping to your address or getting an iPhone through in store pickup at an Apple Store that should still be sorted ✔️

OP, hope you’re doing better.
From what I read Apple, as they have stated, has not blocked you. It was your payment method that we now know did have a block on it. Give it time and hopefully things get back to normal.
It does sound like your store will have walk in sales on launch day. Which phone are you thinking of getting?
All the best.

Thanks.

I’ll be getting the Pro Max.

256GB is ample.
