Well after its advertised launch time, Apple has now begun accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 4S at their online Apple Store. Preorders are also available directly from Verizon, Sprint and AT&T. The servers, however, seem overloaded at the time of publishing so may take a while to get your orders in.

The iPhone 4S was introduced earlier this week and includes an A5 processor, faster graphics, an improved 8MP camera as well as the new Siri Voice Assistant.

The iPhone 4S comes in 3 different capacities 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, priced at $199, $299 and $399 respectively with contract. Carrier options in the United States include AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. We posted a detailed price comparison chart earlier today.

Those upfront prices assume that you qualify for a carrier-subsidized device. If you are presently in a contract with your carrier, you may not qualify. Apple provides this online tool to see what your pricing would be.

Apple reveals that in the U.S., the iPhone 4S will be available unlocked starting in November.

The iPhone 4S will also be available in-store on October 14th.

Update: Apple seems to having trouble with accepting pre-orders:

it's stuck in a vicious circle!

Are you a new or existing Verizon Wireless customer? And when I confirm it again loads the same page :confused:
 
I tried to order, but I'm stuck on a page that says, "To use an iPhone with your current wireless plan, a Premium Data service charge of $10 is required and will be added to your monthly bill."
 
I cant even get that far. The top of the page won't load after i get to the 2nd page of the pre-order.
 
Siri, place an order for iPhone 4S:D


Can't wait to get my hands on this!:apple:
 
16GB Black on its way!

I've ordered. I'm glad i can just get unlocked here in the UK, it seems the carriers mess everything up over the pond!

I used the apple store app, worked like a charm once the store came back online.

Apple FTW. I thought this phone was a "disappointment."

I'd say that has more to do with people searching for news about Steve Jobs.

But I also think the 4S is going to sell well. I know I'll be getting one.

Ordered over the phone!

I was calling 611 at 1145 pst to check upgrade eligibility on all my lines, but my call never got answered until 12:05 so I asked if I could preorder, and the guy said yes! So I got mine in! 16gb white iPhone 4s, credit card charged at 12:22 am and I accepted the AT&T terms and conditions online at 12:23 to complete the order!

Should I be the first to remind everyone that people are starving in many parts of the world? Oh forget it… I'll only get flamed if I do that.
