Is the Apple store down? I want to preorder the iPhone 5C?

I want to preorder the iPhone 5C? It keeps telling me they are updating for some odd reason

You want them to have your fingerprints! That stupidity defy's logic

Why don't you try other Retail Online Shopping Sites like Amazon, Best Buy. They might give you what you want, if not then try after 17th of September.

Should be up by the time I answer this. The Apple Store does usually go down in prep for pre-orders but is of course open by the time they said it is ready for pre-orders.

So 12:01am PT, 3:01am ET

@jingles: if you are going to wrongly insult the phone at least get the phone right. The 5s is the one with the finger scanner, not the 5c.

  • Where is the best place to buy an iPhone 4s: the Verizon store or the Apple store? I don't have an upgrade until January but am looking to buy an iPhone soon. I've been looking at the various sites and saw that there was a huge price difference between the Apple and Verizon stores. A rep at the Verizon store told me I wouldn't even have to change my existing plan, but just pay the $449 for the phone. Why would I buy an iPhone 4s from Verizon for $449.99 when they're sold on the Apple website for $99?
  • Verizon store or apple store for a new iphone 5? Verizon said I can get an Iphone 5 for "Using my upgrade + $199).Is it true that I can get an iphone 5 at the apple store for $199? If true, Why would I use an upgrade at verizon and pay the same amount for the phone?
  • Should I buy my iPhone at the Apple Store or the Verizon store? The plans and the phones themselves cost the exact same; the difference is the care plan. I just can't decide which one is best for me and I definitely want some sort of plan. Apple care is an upfront cost, but it is cheaper. I don't know how long either last, or which one takes care of the customers the best. Any opinions?
