    Apple store always goes offline when they bring out a new product like this.

    It's up now FWIW

    I pre-ordered mine at about 11:58pm on AT&T.com. I sure as hell hopes it is shipped sooner than "within 14-21" days like the email confirmation I got says!!!!!

    It was funny, I was on a forum for Mac people like this one and all they were talking about is how they've been ready for days at 12:01 AM to order iPhone.
    About how they have their iPad ready their MacBook ready other phone, their AT&T app all open at the same time so right at 12:01, they can order. I wasn't going to preorder, I was going to wait til November when my upgrade eligible, and I just said screw it. So after reading the thread on this website, I decided to try it. So I just went to AT&T.com at 11:57 PM and I got my order it.
    All these computer geeks, absolutely freaking out that Apple's website was down. And AT&T's was overcrowded because Apple was down. So when I was asleep at 12:15 AM all those websites were still down, and none of those guys have their iPhones ordered yet and were going crazy !
    I guess it pays to be a balla'!

    HCP - I did some googling and found that lots of AT&T pre-order people got a 21-28 day email. It sounds like we got in on the first wave of pre-orders and there is a good chance we will get the phone sooner than 14-21 days. An AT&T rep told someone they say 14-21 days to cover their ass just in case there are delays etc.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This is a pretty interesting review of the Apple Watch from a watch guy/site (as opposed to a tech guy/site). It's rare that these type of devices get an analysis of the style/aesthetics.

    Thanks for sharing that. Great review. I'm not a big fan of the design/look of it.

    Heads up on ordering with AT&T. Space gray said 21-35 business days but gold (gross) or silver were still 7-14 days

    Hopefully that's not the case for those of us that ordered at 11:58pm last night! I read the iPhone 6 Plus (what I got) is delayed more than regular iPhone 6 due to higher demand.
