Friday at 7AM CDT would be great. I could get a quick workout in and come home and order. The normal 2AM pre-order time would be okay too.

I never pre ordered so I’m new to this lol. I want the 12 pro max, so can I pre order it on the 16th? They are saying the pros won’t ship till November.
How does everyone pre order, online or go to the AT&T store ?
Thanks

Following. I've never bought an iPhone on launch day but will be doing it for the first time this year with the 12 mini. I won't have a trade-in (I'm keeping my 1st gen SE around as a backup). I'm just wondering how they'll distribute them after the orders are taken. My Apple Store has been open since June, so it's there, but will there be appointments? (I'm hoping so in order to get that in during a work break).

I wanna get the iPhone 12 Pro just cause it launches a month earlier than the Pro Max.
But I’m not sure if I can go down a screen size having used the Plus and Max sizes the last 4 or 5 years.

I currently have the iphone 11 pro I find the size perfect for pockets but looks tiny compared to my mates note 10 this year going for the max version watching videos is a dream on a big screen phone.

I can't wait!! I hope the Pro Max ill be available in early November, rather than mid to late month. I do prefer the 8am EST time to pre-order as I am in my office by 7:30am. I hated the 3am time due to the fact I had to wake up @ 2:45am, order @ 3am, and the go back to sleep until 6:30am.

11 Pro Max to 12 Pro Max via iUP as has been the tradition for a few years now. Curious to see how some of the details shake out if it's not shipping till November. Technically iUP you are paying for AC+, but it still shows as expiring 9/25...

You can preorder the 12 Pro Max whenever they open it up for preordering. I used to preorder through my carrier T-Mobile, and am now with Verizon since August 2020. With T-Mobile I always had to put a down payment ($450+) on the device and pay $20-$22 monthly in addition to my bill. Now when I preorder I will be paying outright for either the 256GB or 512GB version.

According the the front page of macrumors, and based on if that is true. We are looking at 11/13 or 14th for the Pre-order and 20th or the 21st for launch day.

At this point I'll likely pre-order the Pro Max on apple.com. Apple Store near me is closed due to pandemic but that can change when time comes near, I hope they reopen right in time for the launch date for the pro max.


 
Yes, not really surprising when you look at when the manufacturing started
And if you miss the window, early next year it is I bet.
And Apple said it was delayed only by few weeks 😂

oh well. It’s only one more month to be exact might as well wait. Don’t really have a choice now.
