"Do the prep work now"
Presumptuous as fuck
do the prep work now, work some overtime & get a new job so you can afford this phone
🤢
And next year, repeat!
I’d you’ve never experienced iPhone pre-orders, this is a fantastic feature. You make all your selections now and save it. So when it hits 5am PDT you open the app and tap the order button and you’re done.
Before this you had to do everything when it went live and the system almost always either went down, times out, or was slow.
Years ago we’d wake up in the middle of the night and spam refresh to get it to load. I’d you didn’t get it order within the first 15 mins you wouldn’t get it release day. One time I put my order in 30 mins after pre-orders started and I had to wait two weeks after release. The demand was that high.
