Preordered an iPhone 15, a new Apple Watch, or those USB-C AirPods Pro? Yours might already be on the way! Tech. Entertainment. Science. Your inbox. …
Preorders for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max went live on Friday, September 15th at 5:00 AM PDT. The Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C were available to preorder immediately following Apple’s “Wonderlust” event on Tuesday, September 12th. All of the new devices will officially go on sale this Friday, September 22nd.
Outside of getting your new device delivered to your home, you can also choose to pick it up at your local Apple Store. That, of course, will also mean you will be waiting until Friday to get your new iPhone. Choosing pickup does require you to reserve a time so make sure you get that preorder in as they tend to fill up quickly.
However, right now, the availability of more and more iPhones and Apple Watch configurations are seeing delays, some of which are all of the way into November at this point. So, depending on which device and configuration you want, ordering now — whether it be for delivery or pickup — may result in having a bit of a wait.
The last thing you can do is to show up on launch day at your local Apple Store in the hopes that they have the exact configuration you are looking for, but make sure your store is allowing for walk-ins before you drive over. You can find that out by checking your local store’s web page on the Apple website.
We’re only one day away! To everyone who is still trying to find their device for launch day, may the odds be ever in your favor.
