Apple iPhone 15: How to Pre-Order and Get the Best Deal

It doesn't feel like fall yet in most of the country but it's still Apple-picking time. That is, it's time to pre-order the new iPhone lineup.

All of the iPhone 15 phones (iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max) have USB-C charging and the Dynamic Island, which exchanges the unsightly notch for an interactive bar. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus now have a textured matte finish and contoured edges, while the Pro models get a titanium upgrade.

One thing that has mostly stayed the same is the price. Except for the Pro Max, it's all the same as the last iPhone drop. The 6.1-inch iPhone 15 is $799 for 128GB and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus is $899. The iPhone 15 Pro starts at $999, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1,199.

These are, of course, the latest iPhones, so there aren’t any discounts per se. But there are definitely ways to save. You can trade in your old phone, sign on for a carrier payment plan, and see if you qualify for bill credits. Here's what you need to know to get the best deal.

Pre-Order Times

Pre-orders begin at 5 a.m. PT on Sept. 15 for all of the phones and they'll be in stores on Sept. 22.

Pre-Order From Apple

Apple will sell the iPhone 14 via apple.com/store, the Apple Store app, and in Apple Stores. You can pay full price or in installments. Prices go up depending on how much storage you select, and Apple offers trade-ins if you want to swap an older iPhone for a new one.
