Add me to the list of people that attempted (and was finally successful) to part with a large sum of money for a phone this evening.
“Attempted”, because both the Apple Store app on my current iPhone and the Apple Store website on my computer wouldn’t refresh to indicate that the pre-ordering had commenced, despite checking repeatedly. It took until about 6:15pm for anything to begin working, by which point the shipping date was 2-3 weeks.
Added to my cart, I attempted to check out with the 2-3 week delayed product.
“Attempted”, because as was becoming normal, the system wouldn’t allow me to actually check out. After several attempts, my cart refreshed with a 4-5 week shipment time frame. How wonderful.
28/11 to 4/12 shipment - the exact dates I’m going to be interstate. Har. Har. Har.
