You have to if you want the device in the next month or so. The model I was looking at slipped to November less than 24 hours after pre-orders started.
You could always go in to the Apple store and buy the current gen...they will have plenty of those :)
The 14 Pro Max? They don’t usually have them in stock in the weeks leading up to a new launch. Carriers often do though.
Carriers won’t let you buy the phone outright though.
Went to buy a phone and got a half hour in before they told me I couldn’t actually buy the phone and instead basically got to rent it from them
I still consider you out of your fucking mind. What you basically said was "But I want it now uwu" as if it makes you sound less crazy.
Idk, I was excited about the tech and decided to preorder it, so I don’t have to wait x months. I might be wrong, but I don’t think Apple has ever made a phone that was unusable, so I trust them.
Seems like an overreaction. I’d you buy from Apple directly, not only can you cancel your pre-order, you can return your phone for a full refund for 14-days
