How to Pre-Order For Your iPhone 16

To pre-order the iPhone 16, follow these steps:

1. Choose Your Model: Decide which model you want – iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, or iPhone 16 Pro Max. Each has different features, sizes, and prices.
2. Select Your Retailer: You can pre-order from Apple directly, or through carriers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Each might offer different deals or trade-in values.
3. Pre-Order Timing: Pre-orders start at 5:00 a.m. PT / 8:00 a.m. ET on September 13, 2024. If you’re aiming for the fastest delivery, be ready at this time.
4. Prepare in Advance:

• Apple Store App: You can start the pre-order process early via the Apple Store app. Choose your model, color, storage, and even set up financing options before the official pre-order time. This speeds up the process when pre-orders go live.
• Trade-In: If you’re trading in an old device, prepare it by backing up data, signing out of iCloud, and ensuring it’s in good condition.

1. Payment and Financing:

• Apple Card Monthly Installments: If you’re eligible for Apple Card, this can be a convenient way to finance your iPhone with no interest if paid within the promotional period.
• Carrier Financing: Most carriers offer installment plans. Check for any special promotions or trade-in deals they might offer.

1. Carrier Activation: If you’re buying from a carrier, decide if you want your iPhone locked to that carrier or if you prefer an unlocked model.
2. Accessories: Consider pre-ordering accessories like cases, screen protectors, or wireless chargers. They might sell out quickly due to the new phone’s release.
3. Place Your Order: Once pre-orders open, finalize your order. If you’ve prepped through the Apple Store app, you might just need to confirm your order.
4. Delivery and Pickup: Choose your delivery method. Some might prefer in-store pickup to avoid shipping delays, while others might opt for home delivery.
5. Stay Informed: Follow Apple’s official channels or the retailer’s updates for any last-minute changes or additional information.

Remember, due to high demand, the sooner you place your order after pre-orders begin, the better your chances of getting your iPhone 16 closer to the release date, which is September 20, 2024. Also, keep an eye out for posts on X (formerly Twitter) or other social media for real-time updates or issues related to pre-orders.
