What time do iPhone 12 pre-orders start?

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro pre-orders are just hours away in most countries unless of course, you're after the iPhone 12 Pro Max or iPhone 12 Mini.

Apple announced the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro on Tuesday and confirmed that both would be available in Australia, China, Germany, Japan, the UK, the US, and more than 30 other countries and regions.

Two iPhones will go up for pre-order in most available countries from Friday, October 16. In India, South Korea, and more than a dozen other countries, iPhone 12 is coming October 30, as is the iPhone 12 Pro.

No Mini, no Max

Apple's iPhone 12 mini, the 5.4-inch model, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the 6.7-inch model, will not be available to pre-order anywhere until November.

October pre-orders are only available for the two 6.1-inch models of iPhone, the 12, and 12 Pro.
