Here's When You Can Pre-Order the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in Every Time Zone

I don't, it was brutal waking up at 3am

I used to wait up. Brutal indeed.

 

[jz0309]

Wrong. I need a new iPhone. All you other folks should wait so I can get early in the queue ;~)

The best was 5am PDT when living on the west coast. You could wake up at 4:55am, place your order, and be back asleep by 5:05am and still have 2 hours before the sun came up to get more sleep.

Seriously, you can't wait a day or two...or three? Use the delay to actually determine if you even need a new iPhone.

If you do, the delivery date will likely have stretched out to maybe a week, and quite possibly a couple of weeks. Once that happens, your best bet for scoring an iPhone will probably be to virtually stalk local Apple stores (if this year is anything like last year). However, last year, many Apple stores didn't run out of their initial allocation until Saturday or Sunday (after release day). Initially, it was surprisingly easy to just walk into a store and buy one.

I am planning on ordering the Airpod Pro 2 USB-C and a Apple Watch Ultra 2 tomorrow at the same time I preorder the 15PM. Will that be under one transaction or 2? Im other words should I just order the Airpods and Watch now and preorder the phone tomorrow
Thanks!

I would suggest buying iPhone separately.

You can prepare the order NOW and keep it ready to go. Add to cart and also add your credit card. Apple has made these things quite easy.

Remember when people used to Line Up outside the stores to buy the phones? That was in the Steve Job era.

This is the least exciting iPhone release to date. Probably worthwhile for those with an 11 or below, but otherwise I don’t see a compelling reason to update this cycle.

What to order? Nothing. First year I could care less. Have fun for those that do.

How much less could you care?

The FOMO is righteous on this one.

If you don't get your pre-orders placed within minutes of the start, you won't be receiving a new iPhone for months.

While this is true, I'd like to point out that Apple also closes the online store the night before, and it'll reopen at 8am EDT tomorrow. While the online store is closed, the Apple Store app will be nonfunctional. So, you only have a couple/few hours left to set up a preorder.

We are battle-hardened capitalist consumer pigs, and nothing shall stand in our way.

What's worse? Having to wake up before 5 on the west coast to preorder, or trying to preorder when you're getting ready and commuting to work on the east coast? People in the central time zone have it good.

But if you wake up, order it, and work from home you can just go back to bed. It's not entirely a big deal.

I’ve upgraded every year, except this year — Underwhelming updates.
Enjoy preorders

No matter what timezone is chosen, someone's going to be screwed.



I get what you're doing, but titanium really is a dull industrial color. It's the next "gold". However, if you like it, go for it. 😁

I love it 😭. I would rather have more neutral/‘natural’ colors.

I can’t do gold lol.

 

[Old Smuggler]

Good times

 

[killawat]

Remember the days you had to queue for hours on the day of release to get an iPhone. Queues were ever so long and people would start waiting in line days before. Having to hope they had the model in stock when the Apple staff got around to you. Going from this to online ordering is so much easier.

I long for those times.

I got a shirt for being semi close to the front by a store manager

 

[Bako-MacAddict]

I start my day every weekday at 4:30 am pacific time. This is a walk in the park for me lol.

When you realize you didn’t have to wake up early to make your preorder.

Agreed, titanium really is a dull industrial color. Personally I prefer a dull industrial color. Unfortunately it seems a lot of other folks do too.

And imagine waiting in line overnight.

lol all unnecessary and certainly Apple concocted that frenzy. It was great press for years.

Nobody is stopping you.

Here I’ll share your experience if you do decide to wait in line
