Here’s When iPhone Xs Pre-Orders Start

iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max pre-orders begin Friday, but the exact timing will depend on where you live.

Three new iPhones and two flagships that Apple has confirmed, the 5.8-inch iPhone Xs and 6.5-inch iPhone Xs Max, will hit the shelves on Friday, September 21.

If you want an iPhone Xs or iPhone Xs Max on September 21, you’ll have to either head to your local store or pre-order them when they go live on Friday.

The iPhone Xs will likely be in high demand, meaning we could see shipping times pushed to late September or early October at Apple, carriers and retailers in the United States.

We expect Apple Stores to stock up on free entry on September 21, but pre-ordering is the best way to ensure you get your shiny new iPhone by September 21. It’s unclear how much stock each store will have, and we may see some models flying off the shelves within minutes.

If you want your iPhone Xs or iPhone Xs Max ASAP, you’ll want to pre-order them online when they go live this week.

When Do iPhone Xs Pre-Orders Start?

Those who want to pre-order the iPhone Xs may have to get up early or stay late depending on when the pre-orders go live. Apple’s iPhone Xs pre-orders begin at 12:01 PM Pacific time.

If you live on the west coast, you’ll probably want to stay up until midnight and then go to bed after you get the pattern you want. East coast residents may need to set an alarm in the middle of the night and get a few more hours of sleep before heading to work or school.

If you live outside the United States, your iPhone Xs pre-order time will be very different. Here are the iPhone Xs pre-order times for major cities around the world:

Apple is just one of the places where iPhone Xs pre-orders will go live on Midnight.

You can expect AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon to start taking pre-orders in the United States alongside Apple. We also expect select retailers like Best Buy to start taking iPhone Xs pre-orders on Friday.

If you’re unable or unable to pre-order, you can head to your local Apple Store, carrier store or favorite retailer on September 21.
