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. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] weksa@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Hold up, what Apple Card changes?

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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, think I'll pass on doubling my wireless bill to get the same service, but thanks, Apple. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Rexios@lemm.ee [S] -7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Launch time is 8AM EST.
