It was odd - when I set up the pre-order I chose Apple Pay. When I activated the pre order it asked me to input all of my cc info. No ApplePay icon.

8:05 placed. Another smooth preorder process (so far lol). Thanks to Pre-Pre-Order (is that how its called? Haha), it was just two clicks and done. Let there be tracking!

Ordered a iPhone 13 Pro Max ATT and got confirmation at :03:17.

Did anyone else get the “complete your pre order” screen pop up when the store went up and then it went away?

I opened the apple store app at :01 and I saw the screen come up and it just went away. Quickly scrolled to see if I could find my pre setup preorder to just finish it but didn’t see anything so went through the order like normal and Was able to finish and get release date delivery.

I wish the pre order I had set up in advance would’ve worked but either way I got release date so I don’t really care. It was a good idea from apple but I assume load issues is why it didn’t work for me.

Good luck to those trying to get release date!
Happened to me too. I pressed Complete your preorder and t disappeared. I had to tap my Apple ID in the top right and press the iPhone upgrade program link

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
Every year, the app always seems to work better and faster for people than the website.
I’ve never been able to successfully get it off the website right away. Ever since Apple has had the app that’s the only way that I order the phone. And ever since the iPhone came out in 2007 I’ve always gotten it on launch day but having and using the app is so much faster

Ok- I am officially pumped - that was the easiest preorder ever even with the lockout of the store for 3 extra minutes - the whole ‘get ready for your preorder’ was key because I had my case, the apple care, the carrier log in, everything all done and it just processed the payment and was done. This was a really great process this time around.

Yes, also happened to me but I was able to pull it back up in the For You tab.

Wow- doing the whole pre-order set up thing was unreal. It made it so much faster. I got my order in with and within one minute by 5:01AM Pacific time I already got my order placed. I’m so excited Sierra Blue 256gb iPhone 13 promax. First time I haven’t had the graphite in a long time while I like it I’m kind of over it and I never feel like I really get a new phone because I ordered the same color every year. Delivering 9/24
Good job, I refreshed but couldn’t get in until 5:02something. A couple clicks and done again this year.
Used the app on my phone, the app on the iPad didn’t connect even after I was done

Yes mine went away too but what I did was on the app I went to the for you tab at the bottom of the app and it said complete your order and I just tap that and it went it asked me how I wanted to pay and I used of course Apple Pay to get my 3% off my card and pay immediately got it within one minute my order was placed

I sure did! 1TB 🤫🤫
I used the Siri shortcut to order my phone lol :D Fast and simple. I know you will be thrilled with your new toy. You know of course, that getting a 1TB phone disqualifies you from any upcoming MacRumors give-aways. :p

I wonder if the Apple store is going to have screen protectors they can install like they have in years past.
