@jamesthomson Glad to know I'm not the only one with that thought.

@jamesthomson it’s going to be an about screen full of Apples.

@jamesthomson at least they are consistent.

@mjbiren @jamesthomson strangely not…I had the store app open on a phone and an ipad, and the web page open on a computer. The phone popped up the “complete your pre-order” several minutes ago, while the web page and ipad app are still working on those finishing touches!

@jburka @jamesthomson I’m glad I came back here. You made me look at the site. The app had crapped out “session expired” during Apple Pay. On the site it said I had a phone ordered already. Check my email-confirmation is there. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️😀

@jamesthomson boggles my mind how often this happens with times big tech events. They had weeks to get ready for one thing. Disney has the some problem every single time with race registration opening.

@jamesthomson Based on my own experiences with putting on finishing touches, this seems about right.

@jamesthomson Of course, now it’s not working. :(

That’s how they get you

@jamesthomson I feel like the “finishing touches” are this sparse pre-order workflow. Plain black and white? Where’s the Apple design here? Also, why didn’t they store my pre-order info on device? They’re the kings of on-device, and they didn’t think of that? 🤦🏻‍♂️

@jamesthomson Finishing touches only exist in future timelines.
