Gee...I'm so glad I waited in line this morning and waited my turn for a nice, shiny 16GB iPhone.

It's so thrilling that, after waiting 1.5 years for this, I still get to wait even longer! Also, my old phone's SIM card was deactivated, therefore I'm left without a phone today.

Yeah, I know somebody who just dropped $927 on three iPhones and can't even use them.

Last time, they charged extra for buying early. This time, they're making your phone not work. Seems to be a good thing to wait a few weeks before buying an iPhone.

(I would have picked one up this morning if there weren't lines, but I'm not interested enough to spend hours waiting for it.)

Why do people go and stand in line for something like this anyway? It's an f-ing phone! Wait for a few days, at least... sheesh! We've managed to survive how many years without the iPhone 3G? Would another few days or week or so hurt? Are you guys the same guys that camp out outside of a movie theater to be first in line for tickets to a new highly anticipated movie as well?

Remain Calm: The Apple Store Is Down For Updates...On A Sunday

mattyb · May 4, 2009, 07:24 AM

OMG, I need to see a Doctor. I didn't even read the thread before checking the Apple store.

Railroader · May 4, 2009, 07:41 AM

Sorry!

Salty · May 4, 2009, 11:21 AM

You know what the worst part is... I read this thread, didn't see the 08 stuff... I hadn't realized that a new airport express with 802.11n had come out...

Salty, Salty, you make it sound like you lived in Canadia.

Oh, wait, nevermind

Apple Store’s working fine here (and was, too, when Railroader posted that link)—but is anyone else getting error messages that “payment processing is not currently available” when trying to buy anything from the iTunes Store lately?

Yeah, we're aware.

Doc HM · Oct 20, 2009, 10:59 AM

oooooooooooh. I wonder what colour the new shuffles will be.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2009, 11:00 AM

That'd be great if the only change they made was updating the iPod Touches to have cameras.

No, it wouldn't be great. My wife insisted on getting an iPod Touch a few weeks ago, even though I told her she'd be better off waiting until the cameras come. She's gonna be pissed if it gets a camera now!

I am officially rooting against you.
