21-28 here as well. Doubt it'll be flippable by then.

1x 64gb
1x 256gb

Both silver. Wifey will decide which one she wants when it arrives.. hoping for the former lulz

Picked up 2x 64GB for launch (one for myself, one for flipping)

Additional 2x 256GB for second half of November. Don't think those are worth flipping since the website still shows 2-3 weeks shipping.

I've only seen a couple of listings on Craigslist looks like from the same person 256GB variants are asking for $2200-2600 available on Nov 3.

didn't have an apple ID but it kept insisting I did even with newer work e-mails. Glitch went away after a few min

don't think it's worth flipping unless it's on hand nov 3

A+ on their servers handling the load...or only the geeks and the sheeples bothered to stay up for this...obviously not as accessible as a $80 retro gaming system but still...that went surprisingly smooth

I was refreshing both the app on the phone and the browser on my macbook starting at 11:59 and the browser went live at 12:07 and got my order in at 12:08 for Nov 21-28 delivery for a Silver 256gb. I check the app after I placed my order and it still wasn't live. By refreshing the app I mean double pressing the home button, flick it out, open the app again and keep repeating.

I think they did a staged rollout.

My iPad was the first to go up around 12:03 (checked out twice at 12:04 and 12:05)

My Macbook was next to go up around 12:04 (checked out at 12:06)

My iPhone still wasn't working at 12:15. Thank god I prepared for multiple devices.

Around 12:05 to 12:06 was when it changed from launch delivery to 2-3 weeks. I know because it said I was getting it on November 3, but it changed to 2-3 weeks on confirmation

The hype of low demand might be rumors set out in industry or by Apple.

The iPhone 6 plus launch it went to shipping 5-6 weeks in like 30 minutes.

I got myself few for launch day and the rest 2-3 weeks.

I think i got like 10-16 or something. The max per account was 4 I believe.
If someone wants to pay stupid amounts for it sure, otherwise everyone gets iPhones for Christmas lol

Possibly? iPad Pro, 2017 MBP, iPhone 7. All relatively new devices.. not sure why iPhones got shafted so hard.

probably just a coincidence..
it wasn't even that difficult to obtain so the difference of few minutes isn't that drastic
