Nope, it’s not.

I used the app. Even that came up a bit late. Site only came live at 8:07

Just ordered a 44mm Series 4 Watch. Got a delivery date of Friday September 21st, even though the store didn’t go live for about 6/7mins.

Xs max 256 25th September

App went live before web. About 8:05 before I could access it. Deliver friday 21st for white/silver XS Max 256Gb.

DubDJ

Either way there seems to be a lot of stock this year. I ordered my X 2 or 3 mins after 8 last year and there was already a week delay. Just checked and all iPhone models are still shipping for Friday.

eeloe

I'd say it's a combination of way more stock, or way less orders than expected due to the price!

I can see the watch selling out faster than the phone.

Did anyone get a delivery date of 21st for the iPhone xs? Everyone including me so far seems to have got the 25th.

cramp

app went live for me 1st,

XS Max Gold and Silver 64gb both for 21st.

App always comes up before the site.

For next year;

It uses American times but other than that it’s the best strategy for getting your phone on preorder day

Have the 8+ which I'm keeping for now, but I think I'd just go with the Xs in this iteration if I was upgrading.

Nice one though. Looking forward to seeing these phones first hand.

Eir facebook support telling me to contact the web chat, web chat is based in Mumbai...they haven't a clue what's going on.

Eir have been without doubt the worst company I've had to deal with in years. :rolleyes:

eeloe

Their business tarrifs can't be beaten tho.

Unlimited calls, even while roaming in the US and a gb of data to use in the states, for 45 bucks a month...not to be sniffed at.

eeloe

Eir retail pre orders gone live...

still nothing for business.

damn it

eeloe

also, no gold available on Xs Max 256gb on Eir.

Just significantly less demand

Eir business will allow me to pre order 2 handsets today, with an estimated delivery date of the end of November, Early December....

Eh, no thanks.

I don’t think it’s going to be a problem picking up one in a shop on Friday.

Funny enough the app came up first when I turned off Wi-Fi.
Ordered 64GB black. Delivery the 25th
Also another tip is put your chosen item in your favourites. That way you don’t have to go though the selection process again. Add to bag then straight to paying for it. Just means a few less clicks. Less chance of mistake while we panic to get the sale 😀

You’ll probably get that on the 21st.

There's no Eir store local to me, they're all about an hour in either direction each way.

First world problems i know, throwing my rattle out of the pram because i can't get the newest thing. But i can't just close the shop for 3+ hours to do this next friday.

**** it. Ordered the Xs 64gb on Eir.

Will see what happens.

For those who ordered is your order showing up in your account page? I just logged in to double check and there’s nothing there. I got my order confirmation email and my account was charged but just curious.

This happened to me last year on the x...took a while, but it eventually showed up later that evening.


Watches are all showing 1 month + for dispatch, clearly the watch is the product everyone wants this year!
