Users have long been waiting for the iPhone 16 series to come out with new features and promising upgrades. As expected, the new iPhone lineup was the star of the show, with people eager to get their hands on it. The series was said to start pre-orders on Friday, 5 a.m. PTD but before the pre-orders could begin for the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, the Apple Stores are down.
Prior to the pre-order of the iPhone 16 lineup, the Apple Store has gone down
The iPhone 16 and 16 pro models are quite capable in terms of performance and camera capabilities. Compared to previous models, the entire lineup now features a new Camera Control button, which could be its unique selling point this year. Considering what the company showcased at the big unveiling, it would not be wrong to assume that the series will do well in terms of sales.
Ahead of its release on September 20, Apple will begin pre-orders later today, which means that users have to wait a little while to order the devices as soon as the option to pre-order opens. This is because some configuration and color options of the new iPhone models will be sold out fast, ultimately delaying the shipping estimates from a week or so to months.
Currently, the company is setting up its online store for pre-orders, which means that it is down, and you can not order new products at this time. However, the online Apple Store will resume its operations once the pre-orders are live. You can wait for the online store to go live to order the model of your preference.
For those who are still not aware of the upgrades that came around this year, the iPhone 16 received a major redesign with a vertical camera button, an action button, a camera control, and a handful of improvements on the inside ranging from a faster A18 chip to WiFi 7. The iPhone 16 Pro models, on the other hand, come with a slightly bigger form factor and displays. This year, the iPhone 16 Pro is just as capable as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, as the company has made the camera capabilities and other details completely identical bridging the gap between the two models.
We advise users to wait a while before the iPhone 16 pre-orders go live. Once they do, make sure that you refresh the Apple Store website, as it will not be refreshed automatically. Additionally, you will also have the option to get your hands on the new Apple Watch Series 10, which comes with a slimmer profile and a bigger display coupled with the new S10 chip for faster operations. We will let you know when pre-orders are live, so those wanting the latest iPhone 16 should be ready at the designated time.
