Apple earlier this week, on September 7th, debuted the iPhone 14 line of smartphones and the highly advanced Apple Watch Series 8 during its “Far Out” event, highlighting enhanced camera systems, faster processing, and stunning new colors.
The iPhone 14 will sport some incredible new internals, including all-new SOS features, crash detection, and all-day battery life capabilities. New camera concepts include an action mode for smoother shots in motion, 49% low light improvement, and a true depth camera for beautiful imagery.
Additionally, Apple’s newly introduced eSIM technology, which allows iPhone 14s to digitally switch and transfer plans across carriers, adds a whole new level of connectivity for iPhone users. The iPhone 14 line proves to be one of Apple’s most stunning feats and you can find out below when best to pick one up.
How to pre-order the iPhone 14
Pre-orders won’t officially begin until the 8 AM on the 9th of September, but interested consumers can head over to Apple’s official store page for the devices when they are ready. Apple itself even detailed a $1,000 rebate for customers who trade in any qualifying smartphone. Below are the main places where consumers can pre-order all of the iPhone 14 models:
- Apple (iPhone 14/iPhone 14 Plus)
- Apple (iPhone 14 Pro/iPhone 14 Pro Max)
- Best Buy (iPhone 14/iPhone 14 Plus)
- Best Buy (iPhone 14 Pro/iPhone 14 Pro Max)
- Amazon – not live yet
Carriers, too, will have options for upgrading existing lines to the iPhone 14, such as Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T.

Apple has announced amid its “Far Out” event when consumers can expect the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus pre-order dates, which are listed as follows:

Yes, unfortunately, you’ll need to wait until September 9th to pre-order any of the new iPhone 14 models. That is unless you have just over $10,000 on hand, because Custom iPhone company Caviar has its iPhone 14 pre-orders already open.
The incredibly pricey limited-run designs feature iPhone 14 models decorated in exclusive materials: 18k gold frames, diamonds, meteorite material from the Moon and Mars, and hand-wound mechanical watch movements.
We may be better off waiting for the official pre-order via Apple come September 9th. As soon as we have more information and any additional intel, we’ll tell you.
