I was stuck iPhone8, iPhone8 Plus or iPhone X... finally I decided to pre-order iPhone X.
The reasons why I decided to pre-order iPhone X are...
- The camera spec is very good.
- I want to try Animoji
- Screen resolution is higher than the other models
- I want to see good color of OLED
- I do not care about the notch
I ordered iPhone X silver 256GB SIM-free(unlocked) model.
I used Apple Store App on my iPad to order it.
I was waiting for the start time of the pre-order, but the Apple online store did not open at the time.
After a while, the store was open. Although I tried to enter the store, Apple Store App displayed an error and crashed many times. Finally, I completed my pre-order 10 minutes after the store open.

New iPhone order strategy
It's for the first time to buy iPhone in the Online Apple Store, what I learned this time is how to buy it (the way of the pre-order).
Even it is a very popular goods, I found out that it is obtainable on the release date.
Opening the Apple Store web page by more than one device
As I met the error this time, Apple Store App may get an error or crash.
It is better to access at the same time with some devices to increase the opportunity of reaching order completion dialog.
If the Apple Store is close, repeat quit the app and launch the app.
Copy iCloud account password beforehand
The password of your iCloud account is sometimes requested by Apple Store application.
If you need to enter or pickup it from the password manager app, it must lose your precious time.
So, you should copy your password from your keychain manager to paste your password in a moment when it is requested.
Confirm your credit card balance
You should check your credit card balance beforehand to avoid the App store rejects your purchase.
Even you have another credit card, you need to enter the another card's number, it loses your precious time.
Put your credit card beside of you
Card number has been registered on the Apple Store App, but the confirmation number(CVV) is requested.
You should put your credit card beside of you to confirm the number as soon as possible.
Do not stuck choosing delivery or pickup
I wanted to choose delivery, but the shipment date is getting far, I chose the pickup. You should choose the fastest mean to get the latest iPhone.
You can get the latest iPhone if you follow the above things.
