Had horrible problems with Apple's website this morning. Was ready 5 mins before launch but even after 10 minutes I was getting the "just a sec" message on Apple Store. Restarted phone then got through but was hit with "502 Bad Gateway" multiple times.
Hopped on the computer only for the same thing to happen. Finally went to my email and tried to access the phone that way. After a few tries it went through around 7:20 my time (17 minutes after launch)
Confirmation page wouldn't load and didn't receive email until 7:27.

256GB Pro Max Gold, Sep 24 Delivery
Glad you got it to go through. Suggestion for the future, use the Apple Store app rather than the website. It always seems to work better in these preorder situations.
 
My yearly Mac Rumors post, lol. Well, I got lucky, iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB, delivers September 24th.

it appears the delivery dates are already showing November.

It’s not letting me use my Apple Card as my payment…this is so weird !
Well that was annoying. It wouldn’t accept my Apple Card for payment, kept telling me there was an issue so I had to swap to a different card to get it purchased. Seem to still have a launch day delivery so not the end of the world just annoying because of the 3%

LOL. Got it ordered but it wasn’t smooth. During checkout it wouldn’t take my Apple Card, tried 3 times but it was rejected. So I had to put in my regular VISA.

order is in.
same, not sure what that was about.
Still got 256 Sierra blue pro max for I store pick up 9/24 morning 👍
 
Ordered through Firstnet. No issues, hopefully all goes well and it arrives friday cause I leave town for a week sat morning.
 
For anyone that ordered their phone linked to a T-Mobile trade in, does your confirmation email say anything about the extra $200 or $500 credits we should be receiving? mine doesn’t, it just lists the Apple trade in value. Just wanna make sure I didn’t miss the boat here. :/
Mine did not list anything either. Will have to look into this further.
 
Too everyone who said they had trouble trying to use the  card with IUP, well yeah it’s because you can’t use that as a payment for IUP!!

It’s because they offer the 24 months financing with the  card so it’s a conflict of interest with IUP because that program goes through Citizens One.
I’ve done it for the last two years so not sure why it would change all of a sudden.
 
just FYI to those who ordered 128GB
  • ProRes video recording up to 4K at 30 fps (1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage)*


Anyone getting an iPhone under 1 TB probably should not be thinking of ProRes video. It's going to be mostly useless for most people.
 
Anyone upgrading using the iPhone Upgrade program and seeing an Early Upgrade Payment? I thought I could get upgrades whenever new iPhones come out. I went from a 12 Pro Max to a 13 Pro Max.
 
Here is my plan. I pre-ordered the graphite pro max 256 for in store pickup. When I go, I will check out the Sierra blue, and see if they happen to have any "store stock". If I REALLY like the blue, then I will do an exchange right there.

The Max models were delayed last year. I’m pretty peeved about it too if I’m being honest. Apple’s delay and now we’re all seeing an extra monthly to upgrade this time around.

Same issue as others with Apple Card. I tried multiple times, but then I got a message that my iUP loan application was rejected. Panicked but figured it was because of the multiple attempts (it did say there might be a fraud alert on the account). Luckily I went back and re-did it with a different card and it went through.
Yup, same here. I think same for many, many people.

I can’t remember from previous years, can anyone see their orders in the Apple Store app? That is where I placed the orders, but under ”orders” it says I have none. I did receive emails with my order numbers
It always takes a while for them to show up. Same thing every year. Don’t worry.

Stared at an "Almost there" page... for over 20 minutes in both the app and browser. Was able to finally get to the order page and the payment wouldn't go through, tried 10+ times and received the same error. Finally after around 10 minutes of trying I received a confirmation that the order was successful. Looked in my orders page, see that the same iPhone was ordered 3 times. Now have 2 unwanted orders open... overall not the greatest experience.
