Traditionally the app has been the way to go. However more people are aware of it these days and last year saw some issues largely thanks to YouTubers and tech sites going all out to inform last year.

I’d therefore advise you to try all options if you can as it may just be luck of the draw

For a little while, the app by far.

Then everyone figured this out and it became less the case. I’ve had 50/50 results between app and website last few years, always getting earliest delivery except for the X, got that the second window.

Best bet is having multiple methods, using different network connections.

App has been faster so far.

Will the iPhone upgrade program work on iPhone and iPad so I can try both apps to preorder my iPhone ?

don't think there was much difference.

last year there was no difference and neither worked for me when I tried to get on the upgrade program so I just went with EE instead. Took too long to load.
