Great post. Similar experiences. I actually chatted with Apple yesterday to be sure that if I did trade my 12PM I could pick it up at the store AND drop my trade with them.. the only way you can do that apparently is on the installment plan. I asked if I could pay it off well before the iPhone 14 comes out and she said yes; no problem. Then I looked at what they offer on the 11Max (my prior phone) and it's considerably lower than the 12Max; so looking forward this makes perfect sense,
Got a tip for us?

I will not spend the rest of the day and all weekend refreshing my order at apple.com to see whether my status changed from "Processing" to "Preparing to Ship".

I changed the wording a bit so it would look like my idea.
Not necessarily. I get the Pro Max for the size. If the 6.7 size was offered in the 13, that’s what I would get. Size does matter 😀
My first iPhone was the iPhone 4. I got to the mall at 4am, line was already like 100 people long. Then another 100-200 people arrived. All of a sudden they said we had to move to a different location. Everyone ran to beat everyone else. I refused to run, it was so disgusting. So I ended up near the end of the line. I was so stressed because I had a noon meeting at work. I made it by the skin of my teeth. It was both horrible and exciting but I'll never do that again.
Ditto. Got in via iPad app (0505 hrs) while my other hand was refreshing the store site on the Mac. Always have a backup... 😊
As in 2020 I preordered. This is supposed to save all your purchase details to make it easier when you actually purchase.
As in 2020, I didn’t see the saved preorder when the Apple Store finally materialized on my iPhone. I instead went to “search” and started with “recently viewed.” This meant that I had to choose some details anew.
Did anyone else not see the link to their saved pre-order? I am always in a hurry to get the order finished so I can get my iPhone with the first phones shipped.

I was able to select in-store trade-in for both my iPhone and new mini (trading in an older iPad)
What happened this morning…
A quick recap of this morning at 04:59AM PST. All loaded, and gunning for the Apple App Store to place our orders in for iPhone 13 as quickly as possible 🥶

If I remember, you have to confirm it. A single tap won't do it.
Looks like those buyers second choice color is back ordered 😂
Think of the positive. You're not dealing with Samsung.
When I finally got in after closing and opening the app for what seemed an eternity (2 minutes) the App Store opened to my saved order which immediately disappeared. I then went to the For You section and my pre qualify link was there and that took me to my saved info. Regardless I still had to enter fresh credit card info before I could place the order. Very nerve racking but always a rush to preorder every year!
Got an email from BofA , money all taken out of debit account. Yay we're getting it early NOT 🤣
Yeah - we don't end up buying maxed out phone for test devices. You end up getting the cheapest for the platform because you're not going to be loading it with a bunch of data (unless you're working on an app that needs the space, that is). I'm simply saying that it's not unheard of that base models don't have as many features as the next step up. But, if you found my statements offensive, well I'm sorry it was interpreted that way. It wasn't an attack on anyone, per say.
My pickup order is also still in the "Order Placed" status. Paid with Apple Card via Apple Pay. I don't see a pending charge on my Apple Card.
If you had the option to choose in-store pick up at your local Apple store and was able to choose 8 am slot, that would have been the fastest way.
. I ended up just ordering for delivery instead. When I got on right when it open, the available for in-store pick up was not available for Sierra Blue Sim-Free 1 TB Pro Max.
I will have mine on delivery to a ups store near me and it usually drops off at 930 am.. if I have sent to my house its 5 pm or later or sometimes not till Monday..closest Apple Store to me is almost 2 hours away and I’m not doing that..
Was it much? I haven’t preordered since my XS Max. I remember you had to be a member or something like they got them to hold it for you.
I just noticed I placed the order at exactly 7am right on time and got my email confirmation within seconds. the quickest and best experience so far.
I ordered the 1 TB Pro Max with delivery on Sept. 24th.
