Exciting news for Apple fans as pre-orders for the latest iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are set to begin tomorrow at 5 a.m. Pacific Time (8 a.m. ET). But why wait when you can get a head start on your shopping experience right now?
To make the pre-order process smoother for customers, Apple is allowing early selection of preferred model, capacity, and color so that your order is all set and ready to go when the time comes.
For those looking to trade-in or upgrade through the iPhone Upgrade Program, it’s even more convenient as it streamlines the process in advance, ensuring a seamless ordering experience. Additionally, pre-approval for financing and Apple Card pre-authorization can be obtained to avoid any hiccups during checkout.
It’s important to note that this early pre-order option is exclusive to purchases made through the Apple Store. Customers in the US can also activate their new iPhones with major carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and even Boost Mobile for new customers. Zero percent financing is available with all carriers and can be arranged ahead of time.
To take advantage of these pre-order benefits, visit the Apple website or use the Apple Store app on your iPhone or iPad. Act quickly as Apple has announced that the pre-order preparation will close at 9 p.m. PT tonight (midnight ET) in preparation for the official launch tomorrow morning:
Customers have until 9 p.m. PDT this evening to get a head start on pre-ordering the new iPhone 16 lineup by choosing their desired model, selecting their preferred payment method — including pre-approval for financing — and saving their shopping bag so they’re only one click away once pre-orders open tomorrow.
As the clock ticks towards 5 a.m., customers can proceed with the pre-order process in real-time and complete their purchase immediately. While there haven’t been reports of supply constraints this year, it’s still recommended to secure your order early, especially if you have specific preferences for color and capacity.
Aside from Apple, other major carriers and retailers like Best Buy will also kick off their pre-orders tomorrow. In the event of high demand, retailers have separate stock reserved for the official launch next Friday when the new models hit the stores.
