Are you going to order the new iPhone 15?

For my phone, I ended up with 7:05 with the app. It took a few minutes for my ready details to load but it was fairly smooth sailing. But right when it went through the app crashed and I couldn’t order the second phone. While I was frantically refreshing the app I was looking for the email. Finally was able to order at Apple.com starting fresh without using my ready details. It was at 7:22. I woke up only 5 minutes beforehand, and it was quite the adrenaline rush lol.
That's interesting. The Apple App may have crashed after 7:05. Because it was working fine before that. I have a feeling the App was operating fine for only 2 minutes from 7:03-7:05 PDT, after that, it started crashing. I could be wrong tho. But seems like people had just a few minutes to spare to order the new iPhone. Otherwise you were out of luck and then rely on the desktop.

The protection arrived today… the purist out there will balk, but each to their own!

Store pickup order is not yet processing and the app is still prompting me that it’s time to preorder my iPhone. Now I’m getting stressed 😂

My case and screen protectors just arrived! Between the Apple order status page and accessories, it feels like everything is happening earlier than usual this year. I remember last year I had to order a different case just to get one in time of release day, and it seems like more cases are available now than in years past.

I see many people mentioning they paid with Apple Card. Lol, does it matter??? Serious question. I paid with Apple Card.
For some of us-for instance on iUP it circumvents the credit pull. Nice when you have a fraud guard on the account you have to lift otherwise.

Did anyone order a watch as well? What color combination did you go with?
Natural Titanium iPhone. The watch is replacing my green series 7. I went with silver aluminum because, although I love the dark green, nothing really goes with it. I usually wear braided solo loops because I find them the most comfortable. But I'm not really taken with the new color clay. I have a leather Modern Buckle, and looking forward to try the fabric one.

Apple has seemingly been doing this for more than a decade. Surely their IT team has learned to account for demand in these situations?
You’d think. I have no idea why, but not getting in fit 29 minutes with a pre-approved iUP pre-order saved snd ready to roll since Wednesday is, in my experience, a complete anomaly. Normally I’m 2-3 taps and out in under a minute. Not today, satan.
