preparation:

if you are an android user, you can first register an apple id on the apple official website. after logging in, be sure to complete the delivery address and contact information in the account settings.

secondly, add the iphone 16 series model you plan to buy (select the storage version and color) to your favorites in advance, and place an order immediately after it goes on sale at 8 pm.

payment methods include alipay, wechat payment, installment payment and international credit card. if you choose credit card payment, you also need to complete the card number and other information in the settings in advance.

it should be noted that in the past, when new products were launched, apple’s official website would often freeze, become unresponsive, and sometimes the sales start time was not on time (maybe 1-2 minutes late).

if you find it troublesome to place an order on apple’s official website or apple store, you can also choose to buy it at the official flagship store of apple store on tmall.

tmall's server is relatively more stable and punctual, so remember to add items to your shopping cart in advance.

shopping tips:

be prepared 10-15 minutes in advance, open the purchasing platform of your choice, and open "beijing time" on the browser. refresh a few seconds before the sale starts and wait for the purchase button to appear.

if conditions permit, you can also let friends and family use multiple devices such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc. to purchase products through different channels at the same time.

it is important to ensure smooth network operation

after successfully paying on apple's official website or apple store, you will receive an email and can see your delivery time that evening.

fast technology reminds you that if it is your first time to shop on apple’s official website or apple store, you can find a product to practice and familiarize yourself with the entire payment process in advance.
