I am now thinking the reason why none of the iOS-iPad OS apps worked was because I was logged in them - Apple hates me! 🥲 Then my brain got the idea to try Safari unlogged (without even me really aware) and I slipped Apple right under the radar with one sneaky Guest order 😎.
Got a tip for us?

Ah that's reassuring. I have alerts set on my card to notify me of a charge, and I never received one -- so I was worried I didn't do it right.
Oh I agree, I was relying to someone who was having problems with the preorder and considering going in store since the store will always get units that are first come first serve
I had a number of occasions where i selected every option, and once i selected the last option the app immediately flashed back to the "we're excited too!" splash page that was up before the store launched.
Can’t wait to get a matching pink AW early next year to go with my phone. Gotta wait for that one lol
So I was stuck in a work meeting and couldn't pre-order until 8:33AM ET, have a delivery date of Oct 9-16th. It looks like Best Buy is still delivering on Sept 22nd, but I will have to cancel my Apple order to do it (Verizon Upgrade). Is it worth the risk?
I was thinking that inventory would have had to have been moved to a warehouse in the destination country via ship, prior to preorders? I also thought that cargo ships were still top polluters. Maybe apple will buy their own cargo ship.. w/ solar sails.
I have used several Totalee cases. None had a MagSafe ring on the back and every single device charged just fine. From what I understand, the ring merely ensures better alignment and a slightly tighter magnetic connection. But I have effectively charged my last several iPhones in Totallee's ultra-thin cases with no detectable issue of any kind.
The earliest you can get the iPhone 15 Pro Max in Natural Titanium in the UK is 7 November. Ouch! 🫨
West coast. Used the link in the email to “view your iPhone” which opened the Apple Store app and allowed me to order, I had everything saved from the pre-preorder thing. Received one order confirmation email at 5:02 and the next at 5:03.
Just pre-ordered my 15 Pro Max, its gonna be a Blue titanium 1TB, Delivery date is supposedly Oct 16-23.

Another question for the team. Apparently, the CC I switched to was not my AC but another CC. Anyone ever successfully switched their payment card after a pre-order has been placed? I want my daily cash, yo!
Real-time update: in conversation with Apple just now, I learned that I would have to cancel my current pre-order if I wanted to move from my wrong CC to my AC. Poop. On hold awaiting a sales rep. Going to check in-store availability and reorder on my correct AC and cancel my current pre-order form this morning. Good grief this morning has bene annoyingly complex. 🤪
Real-time update #2: Sales rep said there were no 9/22 insure pickups showing in my area. With details of may card fiasco, she said a customer service agent could likely swap cards. I informed her that I had been told it wasn't possible and I had been forwarded to her to inquire about in-store availability. She again Sid she cold transfer me back - glad I agreed. The second customer service agent gave me the exact opposite info as agent #1. She said it would be no problem, though she couldn't actually initiate. So she made some notes in my account and said I should expect a call from their payments department adnn they will be able to move my pre-order from a personal CC to my AC. Thus continuing the wild ride that has been this morning.

That's my guess too that if they are transporting by ship, the phones may already be on their way, or close to being on their way, to the destination countries. But as far as the top polluters thing, the idea as far as i understand is that on a ship they can send FAR more units on a single ship than they can on a plane, so shipping is the less polluting method.
You might be able to do that but you would have to call Apple. You have to do it ASAP while it’s in the early stage too. Give it a shot and see if it goes through. They might be slammed but you might get lucky. Also, double check it’s not going to change the delivery date or anything.
Apple Customer Service Number:
1-800-676-2775
I did it once due to a fraud alert, but that was several years ago.
Glider actually. Got to find those thermals over the Pacific somehow.
I'm pretty sure Tim has one of every color lol.
I work in manufacturing and have a factory in China. It would be hard for Apple to have all of the phones here in the U.S. for launch day. It takes about 4-6 weeks for a ship to come from China to the U.S.
Even Tim Cook doesn't have an iPhone 15 Pro Max yet
