Apple’s Response
Apple swiftly acknowledged the problem, attributing it to server issues. They assured customers that they were actively working to resolve the situation. Fortunately, some users reported that they were eventually able to proceed with their orders.
Shipping Delays
However, due to the initial disruptions, there were discrepancies in shipping windows. Some fortunate users secured a first-week delivery date of September 22nd, while others had to settle for later shipping dates for their new purchases.
A Light at the End of the Tunnel
As of now, it seems that the situation has been rectified across the board. Ordering should be back to a smooth process without the previously encountered hassles.
