Pre-order unavailable for iphone 16 Pro Black Titanium

Hi,


I’ll be visiting the U.S. for a couple of weeks and was considering getting the new iPhone 16 Pro in the Black Titanium model. However, I noticed that it’s not available for pre-order in Colorado on the Apple website. Does this mean it won’t be available in stores starting September 20?


Thanks!

iPhone 16 Pro

No one here works for Apple on this user to user only forum. For a few weeks after an new iPhone officially launches, it is often difficult to walk into an Apple Store and walk out with the exact model you may want. If you don't live in the US, you really should NOT buy your phone in the US. iPhone warranty is NOT international. This means if you get back to your home country and you have a warranty issue, you'll need to hop on a plane and return to the US for warranty support.

There is always limited supply of various models, colors, memory etc. when a new iPhone releases. If you’re flexible on some features, you will probably be able to purchase an iPhone 16 model. There are also other retailers such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart etc. that will have supply of various models, colors and features. It really just depends how much time and effort you want to put into your purchase.

True about other retailers, but ONLY Apple sells fully unlocked phones. This person doesn't live in the US. It would be pretty disappointing for them to buy an iPhone at say, BestBuy to find it is carrier locked to a US Carrier and can't be used in their country.
