6/22/2023 0 Comments Apple store iphone 13![]() ![]() ![]() Delivery estimates have it arriving as soon tomorrow if you place your order today in the New York area, it's currently available for pickup from a physical Apple Store. I guess maybe the purpose is to force you to stand around with nothing to do but play with other Apple devices, in the hope that you’ll buy more stuff? It may also be faster if you buy online for in-store pickup, but I bet you still have to wait a while to talk to the person who can help you.The standard iPhone 13 128GB is not currently facing any form of significant shipping delays. I’m hoping to never be in a position again where I have to buy a phone in a hurry, but sometimes your phone just dies and you don’t have a lot of options. Instead you find one person who can put your name on a list to talk to a salesperson, wait a long time for them, then talk to them, wait a while for the device to be sent out from a back room… Both times I was in too much of a rush to wait for delivery of an online purchase, but it seemed crazy to me that I couldn’t just hand someone my credit card and walk out the door a few minutes later, the way you can in most retail stores when you know what you want, are ready to pay, and they have it in stock. The last two times I bought an iPhone (one for me, one for a gift), it took around an hour in the store, despite the fact that I knew exactly what I wanted when I walked in the door. Interesting how (according to the article) only the Pro Max is affected - I wonder if because of the economy Apple was expecting fewer orders of their most expensive offering and therefore made fewer of them.Įven on a bad day, the online experience beats the in-store experience by a large margin. ![]() Of course some of the slippage may be due to duplicate orders (like mine), so who knows what the real delivery date will eventually be. I guess I'll have to wait until the rush is over and try to get hold of a human being to the get first order moved to my main Apple ID and the second cancelled.īTW, the first order has a ship date of September 28 - October 3, and the second October 3 - October 10 - so those ship dates are slipping rapidly. Then the verification email came in for the first purchase.Ĭhecked the recipient email ID and found both orders were under that no-longer-existing Apple ID - and I can't cancel the second order because that Apple ID no longer exists so I can't log in and use an automated process, and none of the phone numbers for order assistance are working. Checked that ID and there were still no pending orders under that ID. Got no verification email and it wasn't listed under my equipment purchase ID (which is also my primary Apple ID) so I tried to use another path through the online store and put in another order, expecting this order to come out under my main Apple ID. ![]() Tried to order a Pro Max/Purple/512GB/AT&T/Applecare + Loss and Theft/Apple Pay up front for delivery and it took me over half an hour to get the site responding correctly (no invalid links, etc) and it unbeknownst to me put the order under an Apple ID I haven't used in years and no longer exists. why is ordering an iPhone always flawless, or a total nightmare? ![]()
