2 Set an Alarm Then Order
First off, set an alarm for about 15 minutes before the official launch time — you’ll want to be awake and aware that preorders are impending. At soon as the official time rolls around, you’ll want to follow these steps, as quickly as possible (assuming you set up beforehand).
- Make sure the Apple Store app is open.
- As soon as it hits 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time (or your local time), tap Account.
- Tap Favorites, and then iPhone X.
- Tap on the blue Add to Bag button near the bottom.
- Tap the bag tab.
- Tap the black Buy with Apple Pay button.
- Tap the black Apple Pay button at the bottom, once again.
- Authenticate via Touch ID to complete the purchase.
And hopefully, if you’re lucky, you’ll have an iPhone X on the way this time next Friday!
