iPhone 7s Release: 5 Things to Expect & 4 Things Not To

Expect iPhone 7s Pre-Orders

At this point you can expect the company to put the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus on sale a few days ahead of their street date. 

Apple typically announces a pre-order date at its iPhone launch event. If these September 12th event date rumors hold, we could see the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus go on sale on September 15th.

If you aren't familiar with how the iPhone pre-order process works, you can expect Apple and its retail partners to start taking iPhone 7s pre-orders at midnight in the Pacific Time Zone. If you live outside of the Pacific Time Zone, the pre-order time would obviously be different.  

We expect the usual suspects to take iPhone 7s pre-orders. In other words, expect AT&T and Verizon to take reservations and look for other third-party retailers like Best Buy and Walmart to take some early orders of their own. 

If you want a very specific iPhone 7s or iPhone 7s and you want it ASAP, you'll most likely need to stay up/wake up early in order to get an order in.
