The pre-purchase of the new iPhone is about to begin and although there are already many seasoned veterans in a thousand (well, a little less) reservations, the truth is that not all those interested in these devices have previously reserved one. If you are one of them, you must be clear about three fundamental points when making this reservation. Which? We tell you about them below.
Reservations start date and time
It will be today on September 17 when this reservation period for the iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max begins. The four new Apple devices are already listed on its website, although they will not be ready to reserve until 2:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular time. If you are in another country, you can make the hourly conversion by clicking here , since the reservations will start simultaneously.
All this will be through Apple’s online store , either on the website or in the Apple Store application available for iPhone and iPad. That is why the store is closed to these, so do not despair if at the scheduled time it continues to appear in this state, since sometimes it lasts until a little more than o’clock.
Prices and forms of payment that exist
The prices of the new iPhones are well known: from 809 euros for the iPhone 13 mini, 909 euros for the ’13’, 1,159 euros for the ’13 Pro ‘and 1,259 euros for the ’13 Pro Max’. All of them in their basic capacities of 128 GB, since if this capacity is increased the price will also increase. The ’13’ and ’13 mini ‘models also have options in 256 GB and 512 GB, while both’ Pro ‘models not only have those mentioned but also the possibility of acquiring them with 1 TB.
Apple allows payments to be made through Apple Pay, by card or by financing them with Cetelem in the case of Spain. All this is configured from the reservation, so you must have enough money or have received the approval of the financing conditions. The money will be temporarily held and you will only be charged at the time it has already been sent to you, either to the store or to your home, since you have both options.
When will you receive the iPhone?
The official launch date for these devices is set for September 24 . That is, Friday of next week. That will be the moment when they are already available for purchase in stores, but also the day when they begin to reach the buyers who reserved it. As we told you before, you can request that it be sent to an address through a courier service or make an appointment to pick it up at the Apple Store of your choice.
A priori there is enough stock to supply the initial demand, but it is possible that if you do not hurry to make the reservation you will see that the shipment takes several days . Sometimes there have even been deadlines of several weeks, so if you want to avoid waiting for your brand new iPhone, it is best to hurry up and at the appointed time you are already making the reservation.
It should be noted that if you are also looking for insurance for your iPhone 13, you can do so through Apple options or other interesting ones such as our sponsor Vodafone, who offer different types of coverage for the devices and at really interesting prices that in the end become a good alternative to AppleCare +.
