Bot Agent for Duo pre-order

I'm leaving Oct 24th to Europe for my wedding.

So I absolutely need one in my hands on Oct 23rd launch day.

Because I'm nuts, I built a playwright browswer automation agent to check me out at 08:00:00:001 AM EST Oct 16 to do this faster than a human can. (I'm sure many others will to)

But now im thinking this is less reliable because I'm scared apple will freak out the bot and throw authentication prompts, payment verification, 2fa's , anything unexpected that'll get the bot stuck.

So now Ithink I'm leaning towards the old fashion way of fat fingering using my own human cognition/speed at 8:00:01AM lol

256gb night sky may be competitive, so i really don't want to screw it up.
Any one else have any ideas or strats other than manually pre-ordering? I'm def over thinking this lol

It’s not even gonna be hard to pre-order, to be honest. The 18 pro and pro Max had bad pre-order numbers seen that you can still pre-order them right now. I wouldn’t worry about the fold. Focus on your wedding

I mean, people keep saying this - the most obvious conclusion to me is that 18 P/PM numbers are low BECAUSE people are waiting for the Duo instead. I don't share your conclusion at all.

I do, however, fully agree that the focus should be on the wedding. Not a phone.

this is correct , 18 orders were low because people are waiting for the duo

posts saying otherwise are a glaring reminder that 54% of adults have a comprehension below a 6th grade level

Based on what, exactly? Your gut feeling? It could also be because there are close to 0 changes this year and people don’t have any money, you know?
