Apple sets 9 p.m. PT deadline for "Get Ready" iPhone 18 Pro pre-order option
Apple announced that customers must finalize their iPhone 18 Pro selections by 9 p.m. PT on Friday, September 11, to use the "Get Ready" feature that speeds up the Saturday pre-order process.
Apple will begin accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max on Saturday, September 12 at 8:00 a.m. ET (5:00 a.m. PT). To avoid the initial rush, the company offers a "Get Ready" option that lets shoppers choose their model, accessories, financing, and trade-in details in advance via the Apple Store app or website. > "Customers have until 9 p.m. PT on Friday, September 11, to bypass the morning rush by selecting their model, pairing accessories, securing leasing or financing pre-approval, and setting up their trade-in," Apple said in a press release. The deadline was clarified after the release mistakenly listed 9 a.m. PT. Completing the selections before the cutoff is intended to streamline the pre-order experience on the morning of September 12.
