Does anyone know if doing the Apple “Get Ready” routine makes any difference at all as far as being able to order? Does it mean we don’t have to rush as much to order right at 5am like these orders are given any type of priority, or is it all in the same que? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

One of the many reasons i'm happy I don't live in Seattle (west coast) anymore. Don't have to wake up at 4:30am for the pre-order. Hoping to get the first local in store pick up slot as that seems to be the fastest.
There is no priority. It just saved you time selecting model color storage etc.

I have a natural titanium pre-preorder set up and a blue one. They both reference the same iPhone 14 Pro max for trade in.
Should i delete one? Is having two of them going to mess me up? I’m only going to actually order one of them.
I just can’t make up my mind which color I want.

In the past few years, I've been successful with the Apple Store app on my iPhone. I haven't even bothered with using my laptop or even mobile browser. You do have to keep refreshing at 8:00am as they don't always start on "time".
Made a decision to go with the 15 Pro. Now I just debating on color. Leaning 80% White Titanium and 20% Blue Titanium.
Ever since I've ordered from Apple, I've just used the Apple Store app on my iPhone and have had zero problems.
Ok I’m a little confused here, I preordered on the Apple website, and got the email, and it shows up on their site that I’m all ready to go, but when I check the Apple Store app it doesn’t show up.
I really don’t want to miss the window at 5am, should I just order from safari or will it show up on the app by 5am?

I had it disappear from the app earlier today, but it showed back up. You might try refreshing your app and see if that helps.
Go to the For You page and choose See All Devices or See your device to find preorder information
It’s pretty much like having your phone in your cart with your payment method saved. At 5am, all you have to do is hit submit and you’re done.
I have so must trust and faith in Apple's process that each time I pre order I wake up 5 minutes before the designated time, checkout in 30 seconds, and basically never check anything until delivery day. At least that was the case with my 14 PM. Apple never get it wrong.
Yep this is the way. Apple Store app and Apple Pay. You're done in 60 seconds, you barely have to be awake.
You can order both to avoid having problems and give the other to me.
Yeah the pre-preorder thing basically saves you a couple clicks at go time. It does also help because long-time preorderers will remember the days when you had to check with AT&T/Verizon/etc and their servers would just _MELT_
It's nice to have all that credit checks and carrier checks done already.
Speaking of pre-preorders, they lock in 10 minutes, so hopefully you're happy with what you've settled on!

Well money for starters 😆
I’m on the IUP, and I’m upgrading both mine and my wife’s phone. I’m thinking of doing in store pickup, and I’ll be going by myself to pick up both new phones and trade in the old phones. I both phones will be purchased under my Apple ID. Will I have any issues picking up my wife’s phone if she’s not with me?
I don't think you'll run in to issues if she isn't with you, but I'm not sure if you have to bring the old phones to trade in with you.
I know for IUP when you get it delivered to your house, they send you a box to ship the old phone back, but i'm not sure about instore pickup
Ok I tried again on WiFi and it shows up now. Thanks! Hope it all works out at 5!
Bring it on!! Just about 8 hours until go time. I am on the East Coast, so 8am is no problem for me. I will be up @ 6am and in my office by 7:30am. I have my 1TB 15PM in Natural Titanium set up and ready to pull the trigger. Se you all in the A.M. Good luck everyone!!
Panic when alarm screams. Try to recognize where I am. Grab tech and hit refresh, etc. slam the order in. Go take a leak.
So, you will go back to sleep tomorrow and this thread will be at 70 pages or so and then come back on Friday when it's 1728 pages 😂
On iup for in store, you can do multiple as long as you’re an authorized admin or primary account holder on the service provider account to activate.
You do have to bring the old phones for store pickup. They make the trade in the same transaction, unlike deliveries where it is a separate box.
