As a reminder, as usual, a few hours before Apple’s official website opens for pre-orders, the Apple Store’s official website and App usually enter maintenance mode and do not resume operations until pre-orders officially begin.
3 Tips for Rushing to Buy
● Collect models in advance
Before pre-ordering begins, first think about the model, color and capacity version you plan to buy, and bookmark the model in advance on the Apple Store App. Just click "Bookmark" in the upper right corner to add it to your favorites list.
● Set up payment and address information first
If you want to grab the first batch, checkout speed is key. It is recommended to set the payment method and delivery address before pre-ordering. You can also simulate purchasing other products in advance to familiarize yourself with the entire checkout process to avoid filling in information during the official pre-order.
Collect the models you want to buy first.
Set up your payment and address information first, and check out as soon as pre-orders open.
● Pre-order is open, add to shopping bag now
When pre-orders are open, through prior preparation, you can quickly add your phone to the shopping bag directly from the collection page and proceed to checkout immediately, improving the success rate of pre-orders. It is recommended to set up Apple Pay. Payment can be completed directly through Face ID or Touch ID during checkout, which will be faster.
