What do you think of this year’s new iPhone? At 8 o’clock tonight, the four new mobile phones will start pre-orders on Apple’s official website. If you want to buy them first, you need to prepare in advance.
As in previous years, if you want to buy the latest iPhone, you may not be able to go directly to Apple’s offline direct sales store to buy it immediately. It also depends on the availability in the store. It is best to make an appointment on Apple’s official website. The following is the detailed guide:
Time for pre-orders for the four iPhone 14 models:
All four models will open for pre-order at 8 pm on September 9, which is 8 pm tonight.
It should be noted that the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be officially released on September 16, while the iPhone 14 Plus will not be officially released until October 7.
If the pre-order is successful, you can receive the new iPhone by mail after the official release, or go to Apple’s official offline store to pick up the goods.
Buying strategy:
1. Prepare in advance: In order to successfully snap up your favorite model, it is recommended to determine the model, color, and storage capacity in advance, and consider whether to receive the product by mail or pick it up in the Apple Store.
2. Trade-in or upgrade: Online purchases can participate in the trade-in or upgrade plan, which means that the old device can be traded off to buy a new iPhone. Fill in the information in the “Rebate” field.
3. About “Renewal”: If you want to participate in the “Renewal” program, you need to purchase Apple Care+ when you buy a new iPhone. iPhone 14 supports the purchase of iPhone and AppleCare+ online and is eligible for “Annual Refresh”, which means that users who purchase the AppleCare+ service plan for their iPhone at the Apple Store online store and retail store will automatically join the iPhone Annual Refresh Program .
If you need to use the previously purchased iPhone 13 series models to participate in the “Year-by-Year Renewal” program, you can now go to Apple’s official website to log in to your Apple ID to check whether you are eligible for a replacement.
4. Apple online store purchases support 24-month interest-free installment payment, details are as follows:
If you are worried about not being able to snap up a new iPhone, you can first log in to the Apple online store through your Apple ID, set up your shipping address, contact information, etc., and add your favorite new iPhone to your collection.
Users who are ready to pick up the goods offline can do not fill in the options such as redemption or purchase Apple Care+ first, so that they can snap up in advance, and can go to the offline to pick up the goods before redemption and additional purchase of Apple Care+. If you choose to go to the Apple Store to pick up the goods yourself, please bring your personal ID and the used device (if any) to be deducted.
Apple said that some orders now also support three-hour express delivery service, and the shipping fee is 45 yuan.
In addition, in addition to pre-ordering on Apple’s official website, you can also make purchases through Apple’s official application Apple Store, which supports setting payment methods and shipping addresses in advance, and facilitates viewing order information. Users can go to the Apple App Store to download the Apple Store app for free, log in to your Apple ID after the download is successful, and then click on the avatar to fill in the relevant information to prepare for snapping:
