Sleepy Apple business were astounded this morning to see 0% APR financing over 24 months for iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, generally after tenure lengths were altered to 6 months progressing this week.
But Canadians looking to squeeze iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro with Affirm’s Paybright financing have struggled to finish their orders this morning.
Due to complicated trade from Apple customers, Paybright servers went offline and orders were stalled. Some saw ‘502 bad gateway’ errors, though now Paybright’s website has an blunder summary that reads, “There is a bit of a trade jam. Please go behind and try again.”
For some that used a Paybright financing option, when they go check sequence standing on Apple.ca, they get a summary that reads, “unfortunately, an blunder occurred. Please try again later.”

Yes though all I’m removing are 502 or 503 errors and afterwards my Apple bag is dull and there’s no sequence on my account. So this sequence is sitting in digital limbo? How do we get to it when paybright finally functions if within an hour?
