    Apple always does this before a big launch. Most likely they are applying site updates, major patches, etc.

    Side note: thanks to Apple Card changes, this is the first phone I won’t be preordering.

      Hold up, what Apple Card changes?

      Edit: I searched and found out Goldman Sachs wants to end partnership with Apple due to losing money.

        If you make payments over time (0% interest) they now require you to select a carrier. This means you get charged an activation fee for activating tje new device. It also means you can’t use that option if your carrier is not Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.

      Launch time is 8AM EST. You think Apple can’t have the “updates” ready well before? Lmao that’s not an excuse.
