1 Don’t Just Rely on One Method
Of course, if you’re committed to snagging an iPhone X this year, it’s smart not just to rely on one method. While the Apple Store app might be the fastest, something could go wrong. Pro tip: have an alternate device, preferably a desktop or laptop, with the iPhone X preorder page open, before the preorder launch time rolls around.
Keep in mind that Apple isn’t the only retailer that will have iPhone X devices on hand. If you’re using that backup computer, it might be smart to have separate tabs for Best Buy’s site, as well as your carrier’s (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) website — they’re both likely to have some iPhone X models in stock for pre-order. If all else fails, you might have to head down to your local Apple Store with fingers crossed.
