Apple's newest phones, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, went on sale on Friday.
One way to make sure you get the latest iPhone or Apple Watch on launch day is to reserve the new phone through the Apple Store app, and then head to a physical Apple store to pick it up. Apple's improved reservation system is one reason why Apple's famous launch lines seemed to be shorter this year than in previous years.
One problem, though - Apple's reservation system is down in at least some of its retail store locations, according to a slew of reports on social media. Even some people who prepaid for their phones in the app say that they've been unable to get their hands on it.

Hey, @apple I've been sitting at your store for over an hour with computers down! Great launch day....
I'm first in the pick-up line at this Apple store, but the system is down. Rioting likely to start soon as there are now about 20 people behind me with the 1 pm crowd coming soon.
