Preorders for iPhone 14, AirPods Pro 2 have started
The Apple Store is back up, and preorders have now begun for the iPhone 14 range, AirPods Pro 2, while resuming the new Apple Watch models.

It's expected that initially the greatest demand will be for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, with Apple reportedly ordering manufacturers to concentrate on those.
The iPhone 14 Pro will start at $999 for its base 128GB configuration. The base iPhone 14 Pro Max will start at $1,099 (check out wireless carrier deals for incentives).
Buyers who get in first for these models can expect them to be shipped by September 16. That's the same date for the regular iPhone 14, which costs from $799.
Apple is also now taking preorders for the iPhone 14 Plus, but it won't be shipping at the same time as the other models. Instead, initial preorders for this model will see shipping by October 7.
The new AirPods Pro 2 can now be preordered, too, and they cost $249. The first orders placed for these updated AirPods Pro will ship to customers by September 23, 2022.
At the same time as opening preorders for the iPhone 14 range, Apple is still taking them for the Apple Watch. The three new models of Apple Watch were originally made available for preorder immediately after the "Far Out" event on September 7.
Of the three new models, first preorders for the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 8 will see shipping by September 16, but dates have been slipping. Initial Apple Watch Ultra preorders will be delivered on September 23, but this model is already seeing extended delays.

Did the pre-order and it went fine for me. No problems with Apple Pay because it was done earlier. Got unlocked version using Apple Card payments. Also ordered a leather Strada case from Otterbox. It should arrive before iPhone. Traded in my iPhone 11 Pro Max (2.5mm shorter). Easier to do this than to try and find someone who wanted to pay me for my old one.
App version of store 2-3 mins after the hour.
Pretty much the most glitchy ordering process I can recall form recent times. The ATT carrier discount process was a complete mess, kept asking me to re-input data multiple times. Finally I changed devices (switched to Mac instead of iPad and did it via the website), and it went through. But during that time the delivery went from Sep 16 to Sep 28-Oct 5.
Sigh. One would think that, a decade+ later, Apple had got this thing down... (but, first world problems, I suppose).
Add 1: Saving the data to pre-order just slowed things down (didn't even work, the first couple of times)
Add 2: No email confirmation yet.
Ordered eventually but Apple Pay failed a few times. I now appear to have 2 on order! Had a text confirmation about the pick up but no email yet.
Fingers crossed...
prepped pre-order yesterday, worked quickly with a few clicks to confirm
apple pay on Mac
unlocked 14 pro gold 1TB delivers 9/16
A good experience
Got the new AirPods Pro through app, but a bit clitchy. Deliver 23/9.
just looked at it still is 23rd for new orders. Must have plenty of stock, or all the focus is on the iPhones.
