iPhone X Pre-order Times: Apple's New Handset Available for Pre-Order Starting Oct. 27
The iPhone X is going to be available in the market soon, and Apple has already taken its online store down to prepare for the upcoming launch. According to the tech giant, the iPhone X's pre-order time in the U.S. started at 12:01 a.m. PT or 3:01 a.m. EDT today, Oct. 27.
Meanwhile, the pre-order times in places outside the U.S. varies depending on local time zones. For instance, pre-order time began at 6:01 p.m. in Sydney, 3:01 p.m. in China, and 8:01 a.m. in the U.K. The handset was available for purchase online, not just on the Apple store app and the Apple website. According to reports, other major retailers like T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Target, and Best Buy also made the handset available on their shelves.
Despite the high demand for the iPhone X, rumor has it that supply is going to be pretty low, so interested buyers should rush to the retailer nearest to them while the supplies last. Apple's new flagship phone will not be officially available until Nov. 3, but Apple users may want to pre-order now to ensure that they get a hold of the much-touted handset before the year ends.
For interested buyers who plan on purchasing the phone via Apple's website, the company is offering most of the monthly payment plans from all major U.S. carriers except for T-mobile. They also have the option of financing the phone directly with Apple and joining the iPhone Upgrade Program.
Meanwhile, countries where pre-ordering of the iPhone X will be available starting Oct. 27 include Andorra, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Kuwait, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, the UK, the US, and the US Virgin Islands.
