iPhone 17 Pre-Orders: What You Need to Know Before They Start
iPhone 17 Series: Get Ready to Pre-Order!
Alright, folks, mark your calendars! The buzz is building, and if you're anything like me, you're itching to get your hands on the latest iPhone lineup. We're talking about the iPhone 17, the sleek iPhone Air, and the powerhouse duo, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
Pre-orders are slated to kick off on Friday, September 12th, at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time. That means you'll need to be ready to go bright and early if you want to be among the first to snag one. The good news is that Apple usually launches pre-orders simultaneously across multiple countries, so you can join the global rush.
Speaking of getting ready, Apple's "Get Ready" pre-order setup is your best friend. It allows you to choose your desired iPhone model, lock in your carrier, and input all your payment and shipping information ahead of time. Trust me; it's a lifesaver when the clock strikes pre-order time. I remember one year I didn't do this, and I ended up missing out on the color I wanted!
If you're dead set on getting your new iPhone on launch day, you've got to be quick with the pre-order. Demand is always sky-high, and there's no guarantee that supply will keep up. Popular models and colors tend to sell out in the blink of an eye – sometimes within minutes or hours. So, don't snooze!
Now, let's talk about the damage to your wallet. The iPhone 17 starts at $799, the iPhone Air at $999, the iPhone 17 Pro at $1,099, and the top-of-the-line iPhone 17 Pro Max at $1,199. Carriers often roll out discounts, so shop around. Apple also has their iPhone Upgrade Program and trade-in options to help you soften the blow.
If you manage to secure your pre-order, you can expect your shiny new iPhone 17, iPhone Air, or iPhone 17 Pro to arrive on your doorstep on Friday, September 19th. I can almost smell that new phone smell already!
