Apple typically begins pre-ordering its new devices at midnight local time in each country. This year, however, Cupertino decided to launch pre-orders simultaneously around the world.
For the US, the start is at 5:00 am PDT, the same for Canada. Moving east to the UK, the launch will be at 1:00 pm BST, a little further to Germany, the start time is 2:00 pm CEST, then, moving to Australia, the launch is scheduled by 11:00 pm AEDT.
Taking into account the different time zones, the start is simultaneous (noon UTC). This means that some of you may have to get up early, others may need to stay up if you want to be among the first to order.
As a reminder, these are the two 6.1 ”models, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro, which you can pre-order this Friday, will begin shipping on Friday next week. The iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini will be available to pre-order on November 6.
You can check the pricing table in this post for a breakdown of how much each model will cost in various countries. Apple has prepared new accessories that work with the new MagSafe wireless charging system along with a 20W wired charger. In case you missed it, the iPhone 12 series won’t ship with a charger in the box, and neither will older models (neither will EarPods).
