iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus release date is here which means iPhone 8 pre-orders are going to start landing on doorsteps tomorrow morning.

Earlier this month Apple confirmed three new iPhones and two of the company’s flagship models arrive tomorrow in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries around the world.

The iPhone X is the company’s expensive flagship and it comes with a new 5.8-inch OLED display and an array of other features that help separate it from the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go on sale until late October with a final release planned for early November.

Fortunately, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are also attractive options, particularly for those that want Touch ID and the same form factor as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Some iPhone 8 shipping dates have been pushed back ahead of Friday’s release date but Apple and its retail partners should have some stock available for walk-in customers.

If you failed to put in a pre-order or were unable to secure release date delivery for the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus model you wanted, you might think about heading down to your local Apple Store or retailer tomorrow or sometime in the near future.

The iPhone 8 launch isn’t as crazy as years past (the iPhone X has something to do with that) but you’ll still want to be on your toes, especially if you’re waiting for a new phone to arrive.

We’ve put together a list of iPhone 8 release date tips that will help you track your order or prepare for a trip down to your local store.

Track Your Order

1 / 10

With the iPhone 8 release date just hours away now would be a good time to start tracking your order if you haven't done so already.

Some iPhone 8 orders are preparing to ship which means credit cards are being charged right now. It's a good idea to check your credit card account and your iPhone 8 order to make sure everything is squared away.

Once your iPhone 8 ships you'll be able to track it right to your doorstep. If your iPhone 8 is coming tomorrow you should have a tracking number. If it's scheduled to ship soon, you should be able to track it before you actually get a tracking number.

If you'll be out of the house tomorrow or on the day it's supposed to arrive, you'll need to plan accordingly. iPhone 8 orders will likely require a signature.
