When You Can Pre-Order the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro in Every Time Zone

Hopefully the Mini isn't too hard to come by next month.

Still debating between going with T-Mobile's trade-in offer (but spreading that offer out over 30 months - boo) or just buying direct from Apple and trying to sell my phone separately.

I suggest no one order a new iPhone to send the message to Apple that leaving out the charger and headphones is not OK.

They give you a new USB-C cable but their phones have never had a USB-C charger before now so what good is that cable if they've never given you a charger for that format? Really dumb. Their headphones don't last forever. But at least you got them when you bought a new phone. Now you're stuck paying more.

Say no until Apple cries UNCLE! Besides there will be some sweet deals come the holidays if you wait. There always is.

big deal. It’s $20 to buy a USB-C power supply from Apple. You have none. ???

Headphones? I threw them away for the last several years. I had a snarling mess of white headphones.

I used to save the engineered box for some dumb reason - usually some kijiji sale when the guy buying my used phone insists on having the original box. Recycled all that junk.

Did green slip immediately? I locked in my preapproval with a Pacific Blue Pro 128GB but sort of regretting going with blue. Definitely don't want to wait even longer for one.

I was able to get a Green from a pick up in store order on Day 2, since my Silver launch day order got me a delayed email the morning of launch day. Might have been nice to let people know sooner :(

Hopefully with the preapproval, you will beat most since it's just a matter of picking the favorite and tapping a few things, and it is done
 
I'm surprised everyone is just fine with the fact that the intro pricing is now $129 more than it was with the iPhone 11. And before anyone says it, NO, the mini does not count.
 
This article says, "Those hoping to get a device on launch day should make sure to pre-order right away, as there's no word on how much available supply Apple will have. Preliminary reports suggest demand is high and supply is low, with pre-orders from telecoms in Taiwan selling out in under an hour."

But you cannot "Pre-Order" until tomorrow at 8am EST. I will try....I'm planning on ordering a iphone12Pro in Blue. HopefullyI can place the order without it being sold out or the website crashing...

its ok, we cannot live with that lcd anymore...so for a good oled panel and 5G...i guess that increase is worth it
Or you would buy an iphone 12 like this one but minus the oled and 5G ?

For someone who is upgrading from 6s yeah this sucks. Now I need to buy the power adapter for the usb-c cable and adapter for the lightning to 3mm jack for earphone. But I’m still going to buy it tomorrow, 6s to 12 is a big jump, it’s worth it.

Glad I’m on east coast, all the years of getting up at 3:00AM makes 8:00AM so nice!

For 10+ years I did 3:00AM pre-orders on the east coast. Last year, I moved to the west coast and they changed the pre-order time. Now I’m stuck with 5:00AM 🤦‍♂️

Yeah this Dallas instead of Chicago for CT is completely bogus. We need a change.org petition or something. Macrumors - FIX IT!

No one should buy the iPhone 12 this year, especially the iPhone 12 Pro Gold 512 GB, that model is terrible and gaudy. Also the price for the storage upgrade is outrageous. Scammy. The processors barely got an upgrade, no 120 Hz either. I suggest waiting another year to purchase. Please guys
