iPhone 13 pre-order tips

With the tips below you can be sure that nothing can go wrong with the pre-order of the iPhone 13.

#1 Mark your device as favorite

Because all devices come out at the same time, there is more choice than ever this year. Therefore, quickly mark your favorite iPhone 13, so that ordering in advance goes as smoothly as possible. Do this before the Apple Store goes offline, so preferably before Friday 17 September. After that it doesn’t work anymore.

Mark the products you have chosen as favorites, including any accessories you want to order. When it’s 2:00 PM on Friday afternoon and the Apple Store opens, you won’t have to search long. You browse for the favourites, add them to your shopping cart and pay. This way you don’t waste time with unnecessary browsing for the right product and you don’t get distracted by all kinds of other lures. Moreover, you can now take your time and decide what you want. This way you avoid mistakes.

#2 Pre-order your iPhone first, then the rest

You can of course order an iPhone 13 case, cables and all kinds of other accessories, but that takes time. If you are smart, buy in two times: first book the iPhone, so that you can quickly finish it. After that, you can always think about cables and covers. They are always still in stock. In fact, you can already order covers and other accessories, even before the pre-order starts.

#3 Choose the fastest webshop or provider

The preorder of the iPhone 13 is, just like in previous years, on Friday afternoon at 2:00 PM. That’s a perfect time: you don’t have to get out of bed early and have plenty of time to sit down after lunch. Of course you can not only go to the Apple Store, but also to various providers and web shops. So look further than just at Apple and choose a provider or store that has your model in stock. You could also place an order at two stores, but your credit card or bank account must offer enough leeway for this.

#4 Choose a quiet place for the iPhone pre-order

By Friday afternoon you will have completed the most important work of the week, so switch off your phone, put your MacBook click Do Not Disturb and sit back and relax. You still have a quiet moment before the Friday afternoon drink goes wild. An ideal time to focus on the iPhone 13 pre-order. Find a quiet space and make sure you don’t have any nagging from roommates or colleagues.

#5 Do not pay with iDEAL

Payments via iDEAL can sometimes take a little more time. As a result, you are insecure for a longer period of time whether the order has gone through properly. Choose to pay by credit card if you have the option.

#6 Get ready well before 14:00

Don’t wait until 1:59 PM to start pre-ordering. It is useful to open the website of your provider fifteen minutes in advance and to have things ready, such as your credit card and information about your current subscription.

Some providers ‘accidentally’ sometimes start a little earlier, while the Apple Store is usually a bit later. It would be a shame to suddenly find out that the pre-orders have been going on for a while, causing the delivery time has already incurred.

Another good tip for the Apple Store: use the Apple Store app, because it often goes back online before the website.

#7 Check your current contract with your provider

Do you want a iPhone 13 with subscription, then it is wise to check in advance how long your current contract still runs and whether it is time to extend it. Or maybe you want to switch to another provider? In that case, you could already view the subscriptions and data bundles, so that you know what your options are.

All providers and web stores will include the iPhone 13 in their range, in all models. However, they often provide little information about stocks, because they themselves do not know how many devices they will receive and when. They depend on Apple for this.

Why a pre-order?

Apple announces the new iPhones always on during an event. A few days later the pre-order starts and then the devices are delivered.

In the past, people would queue up at the Apple Store days in advance to make sure they were the first to get their hands on the device. Because this grew into an advertising caravan for all kinds of repair and rental companies, Apple stopped it. For us as users it is so nice that Apple has switched to pre-orders. Everyone has equal opportunities and it does not cost you a night’s sleep. Those who are fast will receive an early delivery and those who cannot leave the house due to work or other obligations simply have the device delivered to their home. Pick up in store is still possible.

You don’t need one anymore iPhone in Germany or France to get the device quickly, because the Netherlands and Belgium are currently in the first group of countries.
