When You Can Pre-Order the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max and HomePod Mini in Every Time Zone

[BOOMBA]

Can you buy the unlocked version at launch? not tied to any carrier or Apple Card? I just want to pay for it flat out. Is that an option?

 

[Freeangel1]

so can I order an iPhone MAX at the ATT store on the 6th?
Because they said they would give me $800 if I traded in my iPhone 8 Plus
then I just pay the difference.
like getting the phone half off.

Apple used to have me itching to buy the latest tech from them. But maybe everything got so good I just stopped wanting to upgrade it? Used to have the latest and greatest but now even old apple tech is just fine for me.

That is called maturity with age.

Yes, it is.

If you’re in the app, does it refresh itself when preorders go live, or do you need to close and reopen it?

I second this question.

I'm ready to use the app because I have a thousand gift cards I need to use on this purchase, and using the app appears to make this a lot easier since they're redeemed cards in my Wallet and not in my Apple ID balance. I also have an Apple ID balance, but that can be automatically applied everywhere.

Would like to know this as well. On one hand, it seems silly to even ask...but we all know how fast these things can vanish!

I believe so. I bought an iPhone 12 Pro Unlocked.

Do these times apply to AT&T, Verizon, etc., as well?

I confirmed with AT&T that their preorders also start at this time.

I’d like to see a Mini before I buy one, but nah - just gonna order one.

Going to do in store pick up too, I think I’ll have a good shot of getting one, I got an Apple Watch 6 on launch day but my online order had 4-6 weeks out.

I’m bummed they decided to release the leather cases at the same time. Poor move!

I wonder why T-Mobile does not have any deals for the Mini/12ProMax like they did with the 12/12Pro...?

Yeahhh buuuut it's fundamentally, drastically different this year: the form factor of the 12 mini.

 

[MartyvH]

BTW can everybody just wait a minute til I've ordered my 12 mini and then I'll for sure let you go on through. Thanks guys ?

cant tell if I want to be lazy and trade in or sell on swappa. Trade in was $500 last year, $450 this year is kinda brutal when they seem to go for at least $650 on swappa right now

They do. https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/new...-max-go-on-preorder-new-existing-subscribers/

Does anyone know if these would qualify for apples holiday return policy? I believe last year the purchase had to be recieved on 11/15 or after.

 

[trevorplease]

There is a post on /r/Tmobile saying that there might be more credit given for the iphone 12s trade in value? Can anyone validate

 

[LegCortex]

I confirmed with AT&T that their preorders also start at this time.

Thank you! I was having a heck of a time confirming via Google, and AT&T’s online help desk kept timing out.

 

[cmaier]

We hereby claim all the phones. Don’t bother trying to buy any.

 

[ridethectrain]

When will Apple release a battery pack or is the 2019 version fit the max

Him, or the technology curve?

 

[BuddyTronic]

Kind of annoying that they bring the entire store down.
I was literally just looking at options and trade in numbers for my old phone and the page timed out on me.
Guess i should just goto sleep and get ready for tomorrow
