what is up you guys it's thomas here and the iphone 12 pro max and the iphone 12 mini
are releasing for pre-order in just a few days actually on november 6 at 5 00 a.m pacific
standard time and today i'm gonna be discussing the best way to and the fastest way to pre-order
the iphone 12 pro max and the iphone 12 mini because as you know iphone pre-orders go out fast
and while they won't actually sell out the time that you're gonna take to get to the iphone is
going to really draw out for weeks if not months if you aren't super fast to order your new iphone
so today we're going to be discussing the fastest way and well it's in reality it's the easiest way
to pre-order the iphone 12 pro max and the iphone 12 mini and that is via the apple store app now if
you're new to my channel then before i get started what's up guys my name is thomas and i make tech
and apple content all the time so if you're into that kind of stuff definitely smash that
subscribe button and hit the bell notification and be notified whenever i publish awesome new
tech content anyways today let's get into the fastest way to pre-order the iphone 12 pro max
and the iphone 12 mini so you're gonna need to download the apple store app on your iphone
and once you have it installed it's completely free from the app store you might need to sign
in with your apple id and stuff but once that's done you're just going to want to open it up
it will take you to this home page and you'll probably be on this for you page or if not you'll
be on the shop page so you're going to want to navigate to the shop tab on the apple store app
and now here if you're ordering the iphone 12 pro max then you're going to want to select
shop under iphone 12 pro but if you're ordering the iphone 12 mini then under
iphone 12 that's where you want to select shop so personally i want to order the iphone 12 pro max
so under iphone 12 pro i'm going to select shop and now i'm going to get this pop-up
get ready now save time at pre-order so i'm just going to select continue
and here it's going to load up and i'm going to select what preferences of phone i want you
know my storage capacity color etc and so i'm just going to quickly do that right here so of course
i'm going to choose my model which is the iphone 12 pro max i'm going to choose my finish which is
specific blue and let me know down in the comments which finish are you going for on your iphone
and which model iphone are you going for and so now you're going to see probably your current
carrier and this you're only going to see if you have a carrier linked to your apple store account
so i have my current carrier right here which is t-mobile and i see activate my iphone which means
it's going to activate the new iphone i'm going to order on my t-mobile account or i can select
buy a new iphone to activate with a different carrier or to activate with a sim free iphone
so it's going to be unlocked and free use on any network so i'm going to select buy a new
iphone because i want to buy an iphone that's unlocked for use on any network then here i can
select any carrier that i want to activate it on potentially but i want an unlocked iphone as i
said so i'm going to select activate with any carrier later then i'm going to see choose my
capacity i'm just gonna choose 128 gigabytes because you know i feel like that's enough
that's gonna say do you have a smartphone trading with apple now here here's the thing
okay this will save all your preferences except your trade-in smartphone okay so essentially
what that means is if you have a smartphone you want to trade in with apple you have to do that
right before you pre-order you cannot save that in advance so i'm just going to select
no and here you're going to select your payment option so i'm going to select one time payment
and then once you have done that you're going to select if you want apple care coverage
and so once you have all of your selections done then in the top right corner of your
screen you're going to see this little heart button so you're going to tap on that right here
and then essentially that saves your iphone so now on launch day which is as i said before november
6 at 5 00 a.m pacific standard time you're going to want to open up the apple store app
you're going to select the for you tab which is in the bottom middle of your screen
and you're going to scroll down until you see your favorites and here under your favorites you'll see
the iphone you just favorited so you can select that and then once you select that as you can see
it already loaded up all of my options and now i just have to tell it if i have a smartphone
i want to trade in and i'll select one-time payment and i'll select add to bag now that
lets you skip all of that time it might take for you to select which carrier you want which color
phone you want and that's definitely going to get you first in line to order that iphone so
just be up at like 4 55 am set an alarm for 4 55 am 4 50 am have your phone right next to you
open up the apple store app tap your favorites do those last couple selections and now here's the
one of the most important parts so you're going to want to have apple pay set up on your phone
essentially what this means is that you're going to be able to skip all of those difficult adding
credit card details adding address all those steps so for apple pay you're just going to want to
have a credit card added to your apple wallet or you can use apple pay cash and then once you have
that once you're ready to pre-order your iphone you're just gonna select buy and you'll use apple
pay authenticate with your fingerprint and the whole process should take you about 20 seconds
from adding the cart to completing the checkout whereas if you didn't follow all
these steps it might take you a few minutes so i really do hope that these steps help you to
be one of the first to pre-order the iphone 12 pro max and you know quickly order the iphone 12 mini
if you're ordering that and i really do hope you enjoyed this video and if you did then do
