Earlier today, Apple held a special “It’s Glowtime” event. At the event, Tim Cook and team announced iphone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4,etc.
If you can’t wait to pre-order an iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, or iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple has a way to lock in pre-order configurations early to make things even faster when pre-orders begin on Friday, September 13th.
Tonight, the company launched a pre-approval process for users who want to pre-order the iPhone 16. .
Completing this process can give you a distinct advantage over everyone else trying to go through all of these steps when pre-orders for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro go up on Friday, September 13th at (scary) 5:00 AM PDT. Those who complete the process can log in at that time, confirm their order, and continue with their day.
Should I get pre-approved?
Trying to complete all of these steps while pre-orders go live can cause shipping delays if enough people get their pre-orders before you do. It’s always a mad dash to get the iPhone you want, and you’re probably competing against millions of other people, so make sure you give yourself every advantage.
The great thing about this program is that you can still exchange your iPhone before pre-orders open—you just have to go through the loan pre-approval process again. You can also choose to have your iPhone shipped to your home or pick it up from your local Apple Store.
You can get pre-approved for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro through the Apple Store app or in the iPhone Upgrade Program on the Apple Store website.
