Where to book depends on the carrier
If it’s an Apple product, of course, you make a reservation at an Apple store, right? It’s easy to think that the iPhone isn’t always like this.
If you are using NTT Docomo / au / SoftbankReservations are possible through each operator... Of course, with the purchase of the iPhone 12 mini, you can switch to another company or sign a new contract.
If you are using another MVNO (cheap SIM)Reserve a SIM-free device on the Apple StoreIt seems good to do it.
Let’s take a quick look at each case.
When buying from Apple Store
If you are looking for a SIM-free device, head over to the Apple Store online store.
When pre-ordering begins at 10pm on November 6, go to the site and select “iPhone 12 mini.” First, choose your preference from the five colors of white, black, blue, green and red, and then choose the storage capacity that suits your needs.
The lowest price for the terminal is 64GB and it is 82,280 yen (tax included). The price will increase as the capacity increases to 128GB and 256GB.

It also comes with an optional Apple Care + warranty.
After selecting everything, put it in your shopping bag and go to the checkout screen.
In the case of NTT Docomo
It seems that there are two patterns, one is to make a reservation in the docomo online store and buy it as is, or the other is to make a reservation and buy it in a physical store at a later date.
As with the Apple Store, if you select color, memory capacity, etc. quickly select the contract plan.
You can choose between new contracts, transfers, contract changes and model changes, and the price will change accordingly.
