The Apple Store is now down, ahead of iPhone 6 pre-orders, set to start at 12:01AM PDT/3AM EDT.
This time around, Canadians will have the option for Reserve and Pickup for their pre-order as well. This means you can reserve a phone and the Apple Store will email you when it’s ready to be picked up.
Be sure to check out our Canadian iPhone 6 pre-order and launch guide for all the info you need to know. The countdown is on folks…
Update: This trick works to order via the Apple Store app, while the Reserve and Pick Up system is now live.

Sweet! can’t wait. Just wondering, does anyone know if we can reserve iPhones for pickups on the Apple mobile app?
That’s the big question. We’ll find out soon enough.
Thanks Gary 😀 According to your other post you said the best way to preorder is with the app, but I’m not sure if reserving for pickup works on there.
i know we can order items via the US Apple app, not sure about the app in Canada.
I used the Canadian Apple Store app to order the iPad Air and iPhone 5s.
Have a web browser open too at the same time, just in case 🙂
best website everrrr

just a quick question, PDT would be the Vancouver, BC’s time right?
Yes. Pacific Daylight Time
Correct!
Thanks!
Does anyone know if the reservation system guarantees you get it on launch day? I’m sorta leaning towards ordering by mail cause I know it will come in time.
Yes, chat said if you are able to get reserve and pickup tonight, you get it on Sept 19. If you know your UPS man and his habits, even better to order online.
Ok so
Wind mobile – $40 month/2 years (for comparisons sake)
40 x 24 = 960
phone – *850 unlocked plus tax = 962
to cancel my phone plan – $240
all together = $2162
phone to upgrade incl tax – $370
cost to upgrade phones – $180
telus – $75 a month/2 years = $1800
all together = $2350
I guess I’ll buy it unlocked 🙂
nice
anyone knoww how long the site will take to be back up?
54 minutes..should be back up at 12 pst.
12:00-12:01AM PDT…might be delayed. Use the Apple Store iOS app!
Unless you have gift cards to use! Then you are stuck with the online store.
This is one online order where you want to checkout ASAP! Do the gift cards later over the phone if you can or something…
What’s the pricing on these things anyway? On contract (Bell)

30 min and counting 🙂
Is it worth to get the 128GB 6 and 6+ in Gold as a good investment for resale or simply 64GB will do? I need to buy an iMac so need some cash 😛

Yeah its like this every year.. any minute now…
Anyone wonder if the guy who was supposed to activate the site went to sleep 🙂

Maybe he’s not wearing an Apple Watch, so his time isn’t super accurate.
yup this typical, same thing happened during the keynote. Apple seems to be having web issues this week.
I am trying 5 different browsers on windows, mac and ipad. Both through airmilesshops and direct…. no joy. Oh well…. I prefer camping out anyways.
