While the website was down, Apple Store’s app was working and someone did smart work and pre-ordered with the help of Siri.
Apple Store Website was down for about 8-11 minutes. The app worked right away! So glad I saved the pre-order in my cart the other day. All I had to do was tell Siri to order my phone and boom done.
