Yep, very low interest this year. These preorder threads are dead dead dead. Part of that is everybody’s getting 9/21 delivery and not panicking. AND everyone’s getting launch day shipping because of low interest ‘s’ series year. But I’ve never seen it THIS slow. Ever. I hear there’s gonna be huge interest in the Xr.. but can’t for the life of me figure out why. Price?
Got a tip for us?

My question was “why” the interest in XR.. you answered “XR and price”. I get price.. but why did u say XR? Lol
I was too sleepy at mindnight so I just put in my Xs Max 256 Space Grey order in around 3 am PST, went back in and added a new Apple Watch around 4:15 am PST since I have a series 2 with no cellular and I hate it being tied to my phone.
Both have 21st delivery dates, I’m hoping it sticks with what looks like really low numbers of AT&T numbers. We shall see!

The price of the XR. Very few concessions versus the XS and it’s much cheaper.
Yeah. I guess so. $1200 for a smart phone. Wow! This is why Apple is now a $1 Trillion company. Largest corporation on the planet. Beats all pharmaceutical and oil companies and has more $ than the entire Gross Domestic Products of many countries. When they moved from subsidized pricing to full price options a few years back - the boom started!
i did mine in middle of night and somehow site was acting weird. anyways, it put it on 30mo plan but i had 24mo. plan selected. am i going to have to call in to fix it?
Same thing happened to mine. I guess I'll just roll with it and pay the difference at once next September.
I don't see why not. I noticed the same thing a few hours ago. While delivery slipped a week or two on some of the phones, you could still have the option to pick it up next Friday in some selected stores. Not every model and store..some simply won't have stock. As of 7:55am, that is still an option.
Checkout process was a little odd for me this time, by default it was on "Pick up at store" I had to go back and change it to "deliver to home."

I believe this thread is for at&t website orders not apple.com orders
My bad. Sorry, running on about 90min of sleep.
. I guess like many of us on the East Coast...ugh
I didn’t get a confirmation email for my orders. But my card has been charged. How long did it take for you email to come? It’s been almost 3 hours since I ordered.
The Apple Store app worked great for me...the AT&T app was going too slow...and then I realized I needed to pay my bill (I swear....).
I did finally order off the Apple Store app at the correct price and got a quoted date of October 5 week for shipment. I'm fine with that as I'll be out of town the next couple of weeks anyway and need to turn in my 7+.
Psyched for my new Xs Max!! Space Grey. 512mb. Go big or go home!

I only received and email for one of my orders so far and I ordered at 12:22 and 12:39 am.
That should have happened immediately, correct?
Mine was instantaneous when ordered through the Apple Store app. Taxes and upgrade fee from AT&T.
They wouldn't give you a confirmation number or ship date without confirming funds first...you're probably fine.
Livin on the edge there rebel
/sI went with silver for the X and ended up sticking with the same for Xs upgrade. The silver looks great. With the glass it almost looks white. Nice and clean.
Agreed! The iPhone 4 was my first preorder and the last few years ATT has gotten better and better at handling this. There are always people who get angry but overall it’s a dream now compared to iPhone 4 (and it even went pretty smoothly for me back then).
