So have you ever been in that situation where Apple do their brand new product event and then
they announce the pre-order date when you can actually get your hands on that brand new iphone
apple watch macbook whatever kind of product they're offering at that time and then you
get to the actual pre-order date and you get to the actual time when they say when
you can actually pre-order it from and then basically the apple website is completely
locked out because so many people are trying to buy the same product you are for release dates
and in the end what happens is you get a date what's going to be like six to eight weeks time
when your actual iphone or apple watch or ipad or macbook or whatever it's actually going to turn up
but what was if i told you there is a way to get that apple product that you want
on the day it comes out and there is an alternative way to get it as long as
you're there the moment it is released to be pre-ordered let me show you how.
So back in the day Apple used to announce their brand new products at an event and they also used
to say that you could pre-order the item straight away and normally it'd be within your hand within
three or four days later after the event however things have changed quite a bit over the last
couple of years now normally we get the event and then normally a few days later we can pre-order it
and then normally it's in our hands either a week later or sometimes it could even be about a month
later when it's officially released but then a lot of us at the same time go on to the website to
pre-order the item maybe about a minute after it's launched as it were to be pre-ordered but we have
to wait six to eight weeks to get the product in our hands and it's really really annoying
well there is a way to get around this well there's a way to possibly get it in your hands
much more quicker and i want to show you what it is funny enough all you need is an ipad or an
iphone and what you need to do is go onto the app store and download the apple store app
now if you use the apple store app at the moment when the product is ready to be pre-ordered you're
more likely to actually get the product on the release date say a week or two weeks later when
apple officially say it can be in your hands now the main reason this works is because
the apple store app is connected directly back to the apple store servers there's nothing in the way
let me explain this a little bit more further so basically when you use a website what you have
to do is you have to type in the actual website name and this is normally referred to as a domain
so for example www.apple.com what happens after this when you hit the domain your actual request
is pinged over or kind of diverted over to apple's servers now what normally happens with a
domain is there is a slight delay in sending your request over to the apple server also at the same
time as well a domain can only hold a certain amount of traffic coming through at one time
so if you've got millions of people trying to order a brand new iphone for example apple watch
on the day it's announced or the day that you can reserve it basically the domain can't really cope
with it and it can only send certain amounts of bits of traffic through to the apple server for
people to actually pre-order when we're actually using the app store we avoid the whole domain
piece out we go directly to the actual apple store and we can actually pre-order our brand
new iphone macbooks ipads or whatever other apple products you want to get directly from apple by
pre-ordering your actual apple product via this way you're more likely to get it on the day it
comes out but like i said one thing you have to do is you have to be ready on the app the moment
that the item is available to pre-order so for example if apple say that the brand new iphone
is available to pre-order from let's say 6 a.m in the morning kind of pacific time then you've got
to be there at you know 5 59 a.m pacific time or whatever the equivalent is around the world
and once you're ready to do that you can pre-order and most likely you're more likely to get the
apple product on release date or even maybe a day or two later if you're just a little bit behind
but at least you won't have to wait normally six to eight weeks instead but like i said you've got
to be there right on that moment when they say you can pre-order it if you come an hour later
probably you're going to be waiting six to eight weeks to get your hands on a brand new iphone or
macbook or whatever has just been announced another interesting fact of using this method
of using the actual app store on an ipad or an iphone is actually when apple hit that 6am in
the morning sort of time when you can pre-order the new iphone or macbook or whatever product it
is what happens is is that it comes instantly available on the app however what happens with
the website is the domain itself needs to refresh so like what i just said to you earlier where for
example you send your request up to the domain and then domain forwards it onto the apple server it
works the other way around as well so if the apple server says yep you can pre-order the new iphone
or the new macbook right now what has to happen is the domain has to recognize that change and then
forward it back down to the users to say oh you can pre-order the new iphone or the macbook now
however in the background what's been happening is people who are using the app have been already
two or three minutes ahead of the game and already pre-ordering their brand new iphones
or their brand new apple watches or whatever products there is and everybody else is using
the website is still waiting for the actual domain to update itself to say you can start to pre-order
and like i said loads of people will hit that domain and basically it will only let a certain
amount of people through at one time and it just can't cope so what i would say is definitely
recommend start using the app to basically buy your apple purchases if you want it on release day
if not then use the website and but you might have to wait some time i can tell you right now
for the rest of this year i'm going to be buying a lot more apple products and this is the way how
i'm going to actually pre-order these items i'm actually going to use the apple app on my ipad
or on my iphone to do this now sadly what i will say for all those people who are coming over from
say android um or from like a windows machine over to apple unfortunately there is kind of no kind of
microsoft windows app of the apple store and there also is no android kind of equivalent of
the apple store also as an app to download on android you must have an apple device so if you
don't have one already what i recommend doing is either borrowing your friends on that exact
time when you can pre-order it or what you can do is buy yourself a really really cheap iphone or
a really really cheap ipod touch because they're really super cheap now or even a really really old
ipad and as long as the app is compatible to work with that device you can do it that way and you
can then resell on that apple device afterwards if you wanted to well guys i hope this little
tip helps you out and like i said i'm definitely going to be doing it this year for all the brand
new apple products that are coming out also at the same time it's time to wrap up this video
