You will be taken to the page you are trying to visit shortly.

Due to overwhelming demand, this page is currently unavailable.

Haha. Damn.

 

[CaLe]

I'm assuming to pre-order you must pay in full, yes?

You're charged when it ships.

 

[CharminUltra]

I hope the interface between AT&T's system and apple.com holds up so I don't have to deal with AT&T's crap website.

I expect both sites to be as reliable as Blizzard's servers during the D3 launch.

 

[BuggyDClown]

So are apple.com and att.com basically going to be the same? Just order from whichever loads faster?

No. In previous years I believe only apple.com orders were delivered on the 21st. Where as carriers shipped them. I could be wrong, but last year my friend got his through Verizon and it came the following monday after it shipped on launch day.

 

[jcm]

shit, i dont have her SSN.

edit: I'm in Canada..

edit2: can I pre order it for her? if they dont need any of your account info when pre ordering, can I just use my info to pre order her phone, then when its ready she can do the upgrade on her account?

I don't know about Canada. In the US, you need the account info to verify eligibility for the subsidized price. I guess if you are buying unsubsidized you can just order.

 

[PAULINK]

I like the apple storefront and how it reminds me of some sort of airline bulletin.

 

[Koyuga]

Awesome. When do they usually ship them out?

 

[Victory Red]

Sometimes early

ATTs Big Event page is starting to flicker and glitch... lol

iPhone 4 preorders from AT&T came a day early, same as the apple.com ones. Apple's generally way better about giving you up-to-date information about your order, but at least with the 4s there was no speed benefit to ordering from them.

AT&T's website started screwing up for me around 11:30. The 'We're so excited!' countdown page keeps trying to redirect me to att.com/, and att.com/ is just a 501 error.

I hope the interface between AT&T's system and apple.com holds up so I don't have to deal with AT&T's crap website.




They're almost certainly going to want account info--if you're planning to order a subsidized phone, somebody needs to agree to that contract extension so it needs to belong to a valid account.

Thanks guys. Thought I'd be able to get her one, would've been great to tell her in the morning she didn't need to worry about it because one is on it's way.

 

[malfcn]

Hey, I am doing it through att website right now.

 

[PAULINK]

mine is still count down

 

[plainr_]

My computer(s) are ready.

 

[Mairu]

Hmmm... I have the unlimited option but I no longer have the ability to select the $5/mo text plan... not sure what to do, maybe I should wait for Apple :|

 

[knicks]

So I am at school right now....We have a family plan, I am due for an upgrade and plan on pre-ordering it in 10 min. Will I be able to ship it to myself at school, or will it be mandatory to be delivered to my home home address?

 

[Zeth]

I'm nervous

Does not work for me.

With AT&T, billing address for the phoneline.

With Apple's website, I believe you can do credit card billing address.

With anybody else, I dunno.

 

[Blueblur1]

Nvm

 

[Mairu]

I saw the same thing, but canceled since it wasn't letting me select my current texting plan. Now I don't know what to do if I run into the same thing on Apple's site

 

[saelz8]

https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/apple/iphone/5-32gb-black.html

Works for me, but waiting for Apple.

 

[malfcn]

Says due today, I thought not until shipped?

Credit/debit card information
Your credit/debit card will not be charged until time of shipment. However, funds in the amount of your purchase will be immediately held and not available for other use.

Ah. Preauth?

Last time I spoke with an Apple Employee about it, they told me it was gone and I couldn't be grandfathered in... Hope they were wrong...


Also... for the last iPad, I got in about 5 min early, so start that F5 pounding now!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[iammeiam]

AT&T freezes on login for me now. Yeesh. C'mon Apple

 

[raven777]

They have option for no commitment at att site.

If I chose this, is it going to be no contract, unlocked?

 

[CharminUltra]

AT&T page not working for me, but meh. Was gonna order from Apple anyway.

Good thing I'm buying the phone off-contract. I'm not worried about losing my old plan.

 

[Juice]

Just a few more minutes / hours...

All according to keikaku.

 

[Kaladin]

Less than 3 minutes......who's already hitting F5?

 

[malfcn]

No visual vmail is being offered to me? Huh?
Also, can you get the data share plans for 1 phone or is that silly?

 

[DrEvil]

weee.. three minutes!

 

[iammeiam]

Me, on http://store.apple.com/go/iphone, instead of the default store page, even

 

[Mairu]

Man, I am super bummed about the text thing. Guess I'll just have to force everyone to text my GV number if they aren't using an iPhone on 5 or higher (iMessages!) now.

 

[Yuripaw]

I still have no idea if these will appear on the verizon site.

 

[Cloudy]

So, what's the final verdict on Applecare? I didn't buy it with my 4S but I don't want a defender case this time around lol Will they replace it for any reason during the 2 years?

 

[plainr_]

2 more minutes!

 

[Reclaimer]

http://store.apple.com/go/iphone


That SHOULD be the link to go straight to the iphone store section...

 

[Kaladin]

Mere seconds.

 

[def sim]

let's get this over with

 

[Purexed]

*yawn* hurry up. apple.

 

[Xcellere]

My nipples are ready.

 

[iammeiam]

I still have no idea if these will appear on the verizon site.

I'm seeing them available now for new customers if you go through the signup Q&A on Verizon

 

[Infinitemadness]

With a minute remaining, I cave. Lets go!

 

[Reclaimer]

And Gaf goes quiet....
