Apple’s latest announcement tells you how to buy its things
Apple has published an update explaining all the different ways customers can purchase one of its latest products, reminding us that pre-orders for iPhone 13 start September 17.
The update explains all the pickup, payment, and delivery options, and reminds customers to check for the carrier offers available to them.
Customers can already order the powerful new iPad mini and ninth-generation iPad. The full iPhone 13 and iPad range will be available in stores and delivered to customers beginning Friday, September 24.
What Apple said
Here’s the release, FYI:
“With an entirely redesigned online store, shopping with Apple online or in-store is simpler than ever. Whether a customer is seeking personalized support and advice from an Apple Specialist or taking advantage of Apple’s convenient delivery and pickup options, free engraving, special carrier offers, or great new trade-in values, the best place to buy the latest Apple products is at Apple.
Hey Siri, Set an Alarm …
“Apple is making it easier than ever for customers to get ready for pre-orders of iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini. From now until tonight at 9 p.m. PDT, customers can get a head start on pre-orders by choosing their iPhone 13 model, selecting how they want to pay, and leaving the product in their shopping bag, so they’re only a click away once pre-orders open.
“There are new options to pay monthly, and when customers add Apple Card as their payment method, they will get 3 percent Daily Cash back, whether their order is paid in full or via monthly installments. Customers can also elect to trade in their current device to get credit toward a new iPhone.”
Apple Trade In
“Through carrier offers, financing options, and Apple’s Trade In program, customers now have even more ways to become Apple owners.
“iPhone holds its value for years, and new trade-in values are better than ever. Customers can save up to $1,000 on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max with trade-in directly from the Apple Store online or at an Apple Store when they activate it with select US carriers. For terms, eligibility requirements, and more details, see apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/carrier-offers. In-store or online, Apple Specialists help customers choose the right device and payment plan, and will activate and set up new products.
“Apple’s Trade In program is quick and simple. In an Apple Store, customers receive instant credit toward a purchase or an Apple Gift Card to use anytime. For those trading in products from home, Apple will send a prepaid trade-in kit to package the old device. As always, if the device isn’t eligible for credit, Apple will recycle it for free.
Get help
“Available only at Apple, those looking for help finding the product that best meets their needs are able to receive one-on-one support from Apple Specialists. Online or in-store, Apple matches customers with a dedicated team member to provide a personalized shopping experience and offer help setting up new devices. In addition, SignTime offers on-demand sign language interpreters to customers in-store and online.
“Once a customer buys their new iPhone or iPad, Apple offers same-day and next-day delivery in a number of markets, as well as convenient pickup at a local Apple Store.
Apple’s highly trained teams are available to assist customers in whatever way they may need. After a new product is shipped or purchased in-store, Apple offers free online sessions with experts to cover any question, all with the goal of helping customers get the most from their new devices.
