    Finished placing the order through Apple's website. ATT started taking orders at 2:55 A.M. EST ... however, the website crashed several times while I was using it and it could not complete the order ... I tried for a full 5-6 minutes until Apple's site tarted to take orders. My order for a Black 64GB iPhone 5 was complete on Apple's site in literally 3 minutes. ATT not only missed out on my business, but probably the business of thousands ... they suck!

    Done. No problems upgrading on AT&T's site.

    HA!

    Guess what, the Apple Store app worked just fine.  Already got my confirmation email from Apple, took less than 5 minutes to complete!  DONE!

    I had the same thing happen.  Neither Apple Store or AT&T's Big Event are going past the pre-midnight status for me ...

    NOT SELLING UNLOCKED is the headline for your next story. I am pissed. If I'm willing to shell out over $1,000 for an unlocked iPhone why should I have to wait til later to be allowed to buy one that way?

    It's MUCH easier to just order from the Apple Store app. No waiting, no refreshing, and it's fast. Learned that the hard way back wit the iPhone 4.


     


    Ordered my iPhone 5 with a few button clicks.

    Got my order in. Just kept on hitting refresh starting about 11:59, but couldn't get through. Not sure if it made a difference, but I went into private mode on Safari to make sure that the website was loading and I wasn't just reloading a cached version. After going into private mode, it loaded first time.

    Hey everyone, I just ordered mine through the Apple Store app without any problems.  Already received my confirmation email.  Was having trouble with Apple Store and AT&T web sites.  Good Luck to everyone else, I'm heading back to bed.  Can't wait till next Friday.

    I just finished pre-ordering 2 unlocked phones from the Apple Store (Canada) - I couldn't decide which colour I liked best so I ordered 1 of each. The estimated delivery date shows as 9/21-9/25.


     


    One thing I noticed - on the Accessories page, it says the following:


     


    Additional Lightning to 30-pin Adapter


    Your iPhone includes a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter for connecting 30-pin accessories to devices featuring the Lightning connector. Purchase this additional adapter to have a second adapter for your home or office.


     


    Is a 30-pin adapter really included, or is this an error? FWIW the "In the box" section does not list it as being included.
