Anyone know if ATT is only selling one size watch? Wanted to do my watch through them and I’m only seeing the 44.
And on time this year. Very easy. I think I clicked twice. Once for my pickup time and then to place order. Pickup 9/21.
Went with Max 64GB. First time ever not getting the highest capacity. My 256GB X has 31GB used. Doesn’t make sense for me to go higher.

I had a couple small hiccups but it wasn’t bad. App didn’t get going until about 3:02 and when checking out my cell phone number defaulted into both primary and secondary contact numbers which the checkout process didn’t like. I removed it from secondary and was good to go.
Waiting for my adrenaline to wear off and then I can go back to sleep.

I got my email confirmation on all 3. My wife’s, my son’s, and mine.
I'm amazed myself. I'm still sitting here feeling like I need to be clicking refresh on something for the next 30 minutes on my MacBook. Instead, I was able to get through on the apple store app in like 1 minute on both the watch and the iPhone both. Apple may finally be getting used to this preorder thing....
I didnt even write down my order number. Eeek. It all went through so fast. I am a first time user of the IUP. I did the pre-approval but I was still expecting more for the final steps in the order since I was signing up for IUP for the first time. It was like one step and boom, done. Final price and the taxes up front through me for a second. I guess I wasn't expecting that. 256 GB + AppleCare included sure is expensive!
Edit. My Confirmation Email came through. Good night all and good luck.
XS Max for me, XS for wife, Apple Watch 4 for wife. easy peasy. Took about 5 minutes total. All for delivery on launch day. e-mail confirmations recieved for all three. Easiest preorder yet. Thanks Apple!
The app came up before my browser. I ordered at about 2:06 AM. XS Max 256 gig space gray! Did anyone get in right at midnight?
Ordered Watch S4 and immediate email confirmation.
Order appeared to be processed on the app, but no confirmation email for the phone (AT&T/Xs/512)?
Did it even go through?
edit: yes, it went through - email order processing confirmation just took 20 minutes to arrive.

I juggled the Verizon site and the AT&T. VZW came up first and everything was going smooth until I clicked to trade in my wife's old phone (stupid mistake) and then it locked up. I went back to the AT&T page and made my order there and then to my iPad where I made the preorder for my wife via the Apple Store app and tried to select store pickup and it wouldn't allow that.
Last little odd thing was that I was charged tax by Apple at the end but not AT&T. I'm sure it's added to my AT&T bill later... I just found that odd.

Same here. This is the first year without any hiccups. Used the app. Closed the app at 12:01pt, reopened the app. Checked out two pre-orders for a XSMax 256 SG and a XSMax 256 Gold, and a Apple Watch 44 SS SB.
All done in less than two minutes and all delivering on the 21st.

I preordered a xs and an Apple Watch 4, no email for the phone but got one for the Apple Watch. I ordered the phone first, didn't write down my order numbers like a dummy. Hopefully ill get the phone email soon. (phone doesn't show up in orders section as well)
But when I check my upgrade eligibility I do see that its pending... so thats good!
EDIT. Finally got the email!

Never got through this fast. I had my max ordered with my IUP pre-approval by 3:03am EST, AW S4 ordered by 3:06am. AW confirmation email came through right away, waited a few anxious minutes for the max email. Seems all is well except that I already made my 12th payment but my order status says I still owe that. I'm sure it'll get worked out over at Citizens One. Whew, glad that's done. Now comes the fun of watching the shipping progress.
This was the easiest pre-order ever. I’m in shock. Dates still haven’t slipped either. I guess no one wants these phones?
It was quick and really expensive and I feel dirty now...
Here in the uk all xs max have slipped to 2-3 weeks except the 256gb has 1-2 week delay.
