Updated: Pre-Order your iPhone 4 now in the online Apple Store!
Those of us actually awake here at TiPb – namely me – wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that you can now pre-order your black only iPhone 4 in the online Apple store. Head on over to the Apple online store and get your order in to guarantee your device arrives on June 24th!
And what happened to the white iPhone 4 is a pretty good question that hopefully Apple will answer sooner rather than later…
Update: If you’ve unsuccessfully been trying to order your iPhone 4 via the Apple site, hit up this AT&T link as many of you are having much better luck there.

I wonder why the White isn’t even available on Apple’s site
Ugh….why no white!?
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I WANTED WHITE! ordering black now….dangit.
Ugh, I stayed up for THIS! No white! Looks Like I’ll be waiting in line!
I just read somewhere that white isn’t even going to be available till sometime summer
I stayed up all night and no white iPhone im going to bed apple better have a great explanation.
and it’s not working! it’s kicked me off or out 3 times now. 1800myapple isn’t working! dangit!
i keep getting “your session expired.” ugh!
@Ethan: oh good, I’m not alone
mine has been processing information for 10mn.
I figured the website would get overloaded and it time out on tons of people. Reading comments all over the place about no white phones…
Yes, I too get:
And then the ball just spins and spins and spins…
If this is how it is at 1am/4am, imagine what it will be like during “business hours”!
can i sue apple if i get to dizzy and fall from the spinning ball? hhmmm……..
The spinner just keeps on spinning for me too. Been like, 15 minutes now.
The only article about not having the white iPhone mentioned that it was only AT&T that would not have it for pre-order, but now it looks like Apple wont be selling it either. I can only assume that Apple did not manufacture enough of them and they will be selling them at the stores on the 24th as first come first serve.
This whole “no white” thing is not cool. Ordering a black one though
It gave me the option to pick it up in the apple store day of launch, but that’s 50 miles away…I will do it if it brings it up again, but I’m stuck on the spinning logo.
Something tells me this entire ordeal will be a huge royal F*#& up.
Would you people get off of here so I can put my order through.
loading is taking foreverrrrrrr
ACCESS MY INFO ALL READY!!
i better get one..
finally my information is being processed…waiting…waiting.waiting
same messages as everyone else, one time I got to where it told me the price, then timed out….had to start over now spinning again….
I was kicked out for “session expired” about 8 times in a row… and now I’m spinning at the “processing…” screen. =(
maybe it just spins until its ur turn in line. kind of like listening to music on the phone, just a whole lot more annoying.
This is ridiculous….i’m going back to bed
Is anyone else getting the “Please wait while we access your AT&T account information” screen on Apple’s website while trying to pre-order the iPhone 4?????
After loading this page it tells me I have timed out and to try again!!!!!!
did anyone get the e-mail that they were ready to order?
Has anyone actually be able to order one? I mean come on Apple, you didn’t know that your site would get hit at 4 a.m.?
I finally made off of the checking my info page.
Will Apple bill my card now or when they ship the phone?
i got a 32gb one coming to my house on launch day… with a bumper. we’ll see how nice it looks i cant wait!! how the hell am i supposed to go to sleep now?!?!?!
i jsut got a session expired by clicking continue on the session expired screen…
@Ker~Man: i hope not that would not be good
Anyone can have the name AT&T Rep, just people trying to get you to not access the site so their order goes faster…
Those messages spreading false info. have been deleted.
@At&t Rep HAHA and Im Steve Jobs order keeps trying I say
No go I wanted white dang it.
Apple you have some explaining to do.
Yeah right AT&T rep… just another user trying to spread rumors so that all of us will stop trying and they can get one.
AT&T Rep,
Why couldn’t AT&T be prepared? Did you really think no one would try hitting the Apple site to order one as soon as it was up? Kind of ridiculous, you guys are never prepared for anything.
im ont att.com and it says preorder and they take me to a place where there are 3GS’s only -.-
Don’t let these guys bs you they just want you to give up so they can get their phones
processing forever!! WTF?!
HAS ANYONE been successful in ordering one yet??? or are we all just getting the “wait while processing”/ timeout ??
While I’m waiting for the server to start working better, does anyone know the billing policy? I can’t remember what happened last year. Do you pay right away for the pre-order, or does they charge you when it ships?
I’m sure that its not even AT&T’s site as much as its Apple being hammered right now. The more iPhones they sell the more likely things like this will happen.
has anyone tried transferring a verizon account phone number? i’ve been on the processing window for almost 20 mins now
my order took about 20 minutes to process and a number of “Oops” pages but i finally got it to go through. I had more luck when i added the bumper to my cart and then checked out. Just got my “Order Acknowledgment” confirmation email.
questions …. 1? when will the white one be available? 2? when will i have to pay and how much to pre order?
just FINISHED ordering mine from at&t…worked flawless
On the same boat as you guys. Been on the “processing information” page for a while. Ugh!
It’s funny. At 4:00 AM exactly, I got almost to the checkout screen before it timed out. Now I can’t get past the “checking AT&T” page.
“Ships: Delivers on June 24th” IT FREAKIN BETTER!!!!!
this is bad. 43 minutes now and i have yet to get one.
I keep getting all the way to the add to cart page and then it times out. HOW CAN YOU TIME OUT AFTER ONLY 5 SECONDS!!!
laaaaaame
Been on procesing information for 15 minutes now. I have to pages going with processing information, dont know if I’m just wasting my time.
I got past the “processing” screen once, but it said it couldn’t access my account information and pushed me to in store pickup. With that being said, on the “review” screen it said the location and $699 (full price), so I was hesitant to confirm it.
Had to go through the steps multiple times because of server timeouts, now stuck on the processing your request screen like everyone else… has anyone actually bought one yet?
Ditto. Processing for over 20 minutes now. =\
Did the exact same thing, Peter. Haven’t been able to get one yet. Damn you, Apple!
same here — stuck in “processing info” for about ten minutes so far.
I’m not so much in a rush as much as I just want to get it done so I can go to bed. Otherwise, I’ll get one on June 24, no matter how it happens.
Ugh this is ridiculous I have to be up at 6am yet I don’t wanna stop trying. I keep getting kicked out/ eternal spinnyness as well. I just want to order a phone and go to bed is that too much to ask for?
WTF Apple why do you make this so hard?
finally now gets thru the “accessing at&t info”.. started timing out after that.. and now is only giving me option to reserve at store…
arrrghhh..
they thought they could get away with a 1am start time. NOPE! they should have done 2:45am
I got to the you’re qualified screen finally….and now another spinny wheel
yeah, I keep getting to the “you’ve qualified”.. then time out again…..
i tried calling apple and a while ago it said business opens at 5am
Don’t type in the wrong card info lol
anyone have any luck calling them?
AT&T pre order worked great. Apple kept saying “could not complete setup online” and to make a reservation for pickup in a store. FAIL.
Just order from AT&T and be done.
spinning,spinning,spinning,spinning,wait… no, more spinning.
Ditto – tried several times only to get a “Processing information.” screen or time outs or reserve at a local store at full ($599) retail. I knew it would be too good to be true (to order seamlessly online that is).
If you order from AT&T will it be delivered on the 24th?
Yeah, mighty tough getting through. Got to the order part once, entered the credit card, etc. But then the cart died.
Finally just set it to reserve a spot at the local Apple store. The shipping only goes to the billing address anyways (so I can’t have it delivered to my work address… 
).
@Andy I tried the AT&T PreOrder… I am a Premier account holder and when you click on PreOrder it doesn’t list the iPhone 4 in the “store”. This Premier account has screwed many people before on upgrades for the 3G too…
This is getting frustrating. Why was Apple not ready for this? If I can’t get it on the next try, I’m getting an Evo!
lol, EVO’s are sold out dude. Poor threat to make there…
Yeah well, I didn’t really mean it anyway. lol
after 1 hour, i decided to try ordering in a separate safari tab without trying to transfer my verizon information…now in ADD TO CART! …ONLY TO GET BUMPED AGAIN! ! ARGH!
I want my white iPhone 4!!!….
@bp123
That is bizarre. I am premier too which is why i think it wasnt working on Apple’s site. the iphone 4 was listed at the very bottom of the page. They charged me an $18 upgrade fee which i think is supposed to be waived but i will fight that battle another day.
I did get a confirmation with my activation codes and order confirmation, etc.
I got mine, email and all from the Apple website!
Not trying to be a jerk here, but there have been problems like this since the first iPhone back in ’07. Should Apple have figured out some of these problems by now? Of course.
But should we be surprised by any of this? Nope.
Still gonna pre-order the sh*t out of the iPhone 4, though.
UG I am stuck at processing your request…..GRRRR
AT&T did not work for me. They offer a “click to pre-order” link which takes you to NO iPhone 4’s! I’m also (apparently) a “Premiere” customer…
Stuck in the processing info on Apple but AT&T it’s easier to order, but I don’t trust them to ship on the 24th, below is what I found, i’ll keep trying Apple but might do AT&T as a last resort
Pre-orders for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS 8G will be processed to arrive as early as June 24, 2010, if submitted by 2 p.m. ET, June 22, 2010. The actual shipment date and receipt of your order is not guaranteed and may be subject to delays for reasons that include, but are not limited to, product availability, inventory, credit issues, number porting or carrier delays, and completion of other required AT&T business processes.
i’ve been trying over an hour! this is ridiculous.. my very first try is the closest I came to ordering one.. and now I can’t even get it to verify my at&t info without timing out!
Any particular browsers doing better than the other? I’ve tried everything.. safari.. chrome.. IE.. firefox.. and even my iphone3g, haha. nothing!
processing information… like everyone else
Hmmm. Frustrating indeed but I expected it to be this way.
maybe the at&t rep was right?!
EVERYONE. My old contact (which ended last month) had me at 99.99 for unlimited voice which they are trying to stick me with AGAIN, I can see no option to change my voice plan even though I am out of contract. The new price for unlimited voice is 69.99 isn’t. BE CAREFUL NO ONE AGREES TO THIS 99.99 CRAP THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SLIP PAST YOU.
I’ve gotten to the “add to cart” page 3 times now and it times out. Hahahahahha.
well no email, but money has gone from my account and the order shows as being processed in my account… always disconcerting when your browser craps out at the last stage of a purchase … :S
Also, there was no Enterprise unlimited plan either. So another reason why I probably couldn’t complete my order.
I have been trying for an hour now. Now Apple’s site gives me
“java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException”
with a list of errors when I select a phone
tried going to att. got through it smoothly all the way up to shipping, which is where i lost my nerve. i dont trust them to have it to me on the 24th..
been at this for 90 minutes and STILL havent gotten to order one yet
I watched the spinning wheel for 45 min on Apple’s website. Then I went to AT&T’s site, and bought the iphone 4 in about 4 minutes. Forget apple, go to AT&T now.
I’d purchase from AT&T if there was any guarantee it’d be delivered on the release date..
I’m right there with you Csullivan1980. I just reached the 60 min mark and it’s still processing information. =\
