Apple's online store is closed

 

Apple's online store is discontinued prior to initial orders for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro which are scheduled to begin at 5:00 am PDT in the US.

When you visit the Apple Store online, the message reads: “You… Early, initial order starts at 5:00 am PDT, enjoy the extra sleep.”

Apple used to place re-porders for new devices at 12:01 AM PST, but since last year, it has been taking initial iPhone orders at 5:00 AM.

IPhone12‌ and 12 Pro are launched in more than 30 countries and territories around the world, and the full list of launch times can be found in the time zone guide.

Apple's iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models feature a complete redesign, with a flat-edged look similar to the iPad Pro's design. All models feature edge-to-edge OLED screens, support for 5G networks and improved camera technology.

After taking pre-orders, the first iPhone 12‌ and 12 Pro deliveries will arrive to customers on Friday, October 23. Note that pre-orders will only be available for the 6.1-inch iPhone 12‌ and the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro‌, and the 12‌ mini and Pro‌ Max orders will be launched on November 6.

If you are hoping to get the new iPhone on launch day, it is a good idea to buy it early because there is no information on how much supply Apple will receive, as initial reports indicate that demand is high and supply is low, as initial orders were sold in Taiwan within 45 minutes.

It is worth noting that Apple has chosen to drop some different things from the box that the iPhone 12 comes in, but not all, so you will still find a few things with the phone. The alleged reason for missing the charger and earphones in the iPhone 12 box is to reduce e-waste, which makes sense, as most people choose to buy the original earphones instead of using cheap earphones, for example: If you use EarPods, you can simply continue using your old EarPods.
