Apple Store outages drives people bananas!

[AlexGoesHigh]

ok, unlike most of the people here (i said most not all to be clear) out there there's an insane amount of people trying to preorder the new iPhones, both the 6 and 6+, problem is the store was down for over 2 hours since 3am east coast time, and be time it finally got back, within minutes the demand was high enough to delay deliveries well beyond a week for the 6 and almost a month to the 6+ after the September 19th launch, and its expect the delays to raise to more that a month or 2 by tomorrow, ofc all of this lead to a severe amount of rage that lots of people voiced in twitter

 

 

something to note is that this happens almost every year but this one has an amount of rage that dwarf the previous sales, mainly because these 2 iphone are more different that the previous generation and that this happens after the iCloud breach and the outage of their livestream,

 

also its seems that the bigger delay on the 6+ confirms the rumor that it had production problems, though ofc apple hasn't release any statements about it

Butthurt losers, just wait there's more to life than a fucking iPhone or any other phone for that matter.

I don't care.

Haha I wonder why this happened I mean they should have expected that a lot of people will use their site *cough* live stream *cough*

Considering the hype, I'm not surprised at the website crashing, it happens with almost every website when so many people are trying to do the same thing, but really, some people need to take a chill-pill.

I do wish that last picture was true, it's hilarious!

People too connected to their phone, I couldn't care less. Don't think theres too much difference between 6(+) and the previous one.

It's amazing how desperate people get for a phone, when they can stroll in to a store a week later and pick one up?

The Verge also wrote an editorial on the ordeal :

I bought a thousand dollar phone at 3AM in my underpants — and I was not alone

There were a bunch of youtubers on a live hangout for a few hours during the whole ordeal trying to get theirs, including UrAvgConsumer,  Marco from phone dog, and Lew from unboxthereapy.

Actually, if you wait even like half a day to preorder, you likely would have to wait weeks after launch to get it instead of getting it on launch day. So there is value in preordering immediately.

Hate the bad build quality on the iPhones so I won't buy another one.

Sadly they'll make billions off the new hardware.

[Slinkey]

Guess I am one of the lucky few who got to pre-order then.

By the 6th gen you would think those that WANT an iPhone would already have one by now.
