Vicky, I came across the same issue when trying to preorder with the Apple Store app. This happened each of the 3 or 4 times I tried, closing the app each time from the app switcher and several times throughout the last 30 hours or so. I have a working theory: it either means that the Apple Store app and the Apple servers totally crashed, or the AT&T servers totally crashed, or there's always the possibility that something else happened. Anyway, many many people are preordering this weekend. I finally just went to an AT&T store in my area and had no issues preordering on the spot. I chose the smaller iPhone 6, mainly because I don't want to carry around an iPad hat's also a phone. Also, I don't take a lot of pictures with my phone and don't really need the extra space. The representative told me that those ordreing the 6 Plus wouldn't get their new phones until early November. Since I chose the 6, mine will come in the first week of October. Fine, I can still use my 5 until then. Another advantage of going to the store was that I got a $200 trae-in estimate for my iPhone 5. That will certainly help with the phone's case, and then there's always gas and groceries, grin.
