[How To] Pre-Order and Get Your iPhone 4 On Launch Day


The official iPhone 4 pre-orders start on June 15th which is just around the corner but nothing is more upsetting than finding out you aren't going to get your new phone on launch day. We @ MGN are here to help so just keep reading to make sure you get your new iPhone 4 on time so you can show it off to your friends and family and make everyone jealous!

The best way to get your iPhone 4 as soon as possible is to pre-order online from the comfort of your home at Apple's site. This will guarantee delivery on launch day without any hassles of dealing with lines, riots, or uniformed sales clerks. The pre-orders will probably go live after the typical "we'll be back soon" outage, but it's unclear whether everything will be setup around midnight or tomorrow morning during business hours. We recommend waiting until midnight Eastern time tonight, but if you don't see the "We'll be back soon" then it will most likely be up early in the morning. Much like the iPad pre-orders, which kicked off at 5:30AM Pacific Time, Apple might do the same for the iPhone 4. Physically going to an Apple store is another option but sources tell us that you will just be directed to go to a computer and to Apple's website anyway.

You can also pre-order at AT&T stores but this doesn't sound like an option that too many will want to take up because you will be required to have your credit card authorized for the full amount upfront and according to the locations we contacted, you won't be guaranteed availability on launch day but instead on the 25th (the day after the launch). AT&T's website says that the June 24 delivery will be available to both consumer and business consumers but the carrier has not mentioned what time the pre-orders will start so keep checking on their website for further news.

Furthermore, news has it that Apple has blocked off third-party retailers from taking pre-orders altogether tomorrow. The previously mentioned RadioShack, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart stores at various locations have started to change the previously announced information and are saying that they will start taking pre-orders sometime by the end of the week as opposed to tomorrow so for anyone wants to make sure they get their iPhone 4 on launch day, pre-order on Apple's website.

You can also stay tuned and we'll let you know once the pre-orders are up by following us on Twitter and/or subscribing to our RSS feeds.
