Is it going to be down until pre order time?
yes
Is it going to be down until pre-order time?
i thought when I got my 6 128 GB that my next iPhone would be the 8, looking forward to more storage and possibly a screen size I between the 6 and 6+, also looking forward to lighter and bigger phones with killer tech, I can’t upgrade anyway, but not really feeling the urge anyway- the iPad pro and pencil I think would be awesome, but probably too speedy to get right away- been wanting a mini too for a while- definetly getting the new Apple TV

I am getting ‘Access Denied’ error on the apple.com
I got that too, when I clicked on iphone, or the ipad tabs, if you refresh, it might go away. It took me awhile.
i cant even go to the main page let alone the other tabs
I am getting the same thing from canada
same thing from California
I’m from Wisconsin, and having the issue
Same from Bangladesh :(
Is it PDT or EST ? 12:01 of which time zone ?
It is 12:01a.m PDT. So 3:01a.m. EST, 2:01am CST, and 1:01 am in MST or mountain time, idk the abbreviations for that.
It’s always Pacific time, because that’s where Apple is located.
Apple site seems to be down:

Already purchased at Att 20 minutes before 3am EST….just fyi
…taps fingers on the desk…
Holy wow. That was so easy. Ordered on the Apple Store App. Paid with Apple Pay. Took less than two minutes. This is a big change from previous years, for me.
Apple store app is up
iPhones reserved! BOOM!
Was able to log in to ATT and preorder at 10 minutes till midnight. Was done with both upgrade orders with 6 minutes to go before midnight. Was expecting a much bigger headache but that was quick and painless.
stumbled through it and found the reserve in store option… got my 6s Rose Gold 64gb, and 6s Plus Gold 64gb reserved for pickup @ 8am on 9/25!
Anyone know when funds pull?
When it ships.
