It's already September 16 in Australia and New Zealand, which means customers in these countries who have pre-ordered a new device are starting to receive it.
Customers who receive a new device will be sharing their first impressions on a number of social media sites. If you have one of the new devices, please let us know in the comments and we will be happy to share your thoughts.
The Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE are available now, but they will be overshadowed by the new phones.
Customers in Australia are the first to be able to buy new devices at an Apple Store because Apple does not have retail stores in New Zealand. In-store stock in Australia will give us an idea of what we can expect in other Apple Stores around the world.
If you didn't pre-order, you'll only be able to get a new iPhone on launch day if you purchase it at an Apple Store, Target, Walmart, or Best Buy. We are expecting Apple Stores to have a decent amount of stock available, but popular colors could go quickly. The online Apple Store in the United States has October ship dates for the iPhone 14 Pro models, while the standard iPhone 14 models are more accessible.
The new Apple Watches will be available in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Customers will be able to pick up reserved devices and make walk-in purchases early in the morning at many Apple Stores around the world.
We'll have a lot of iPhone 14 Pro coverage coming, including a hands-on, an in-depth look at the cameras, and a deep dive into the Dynamic Island.
