iPhone 13 Launch Day Underway With Same-Day Pickup Available at Select Apple Stores

Launch day has arrived for all four iPhone 13 models in over 30 countries, marking the start of in-store availability of the devices.

iPhone 13 Pro Apple Store Pickup
In countries such as the United States, Canada, and the UK, some iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro configurations are available for same-day pickup at select Apple Stores as of the time this story was published. Apple Store pickup is the best option for customers who did not pre-order an iPhone 13 model, as placing an order through Apple's online store today could result in a lengthy wait time of 4-6 weeks for delivery.

To check if an iPhone 13 model is available for Apple Store pickup, head to the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro order page, configure the iPhone as you would like it, and look for a "Pickup" option towards the bottom of the page. A link below the "Pickup" option leads to an iPhone Availability tool, which displays iPhone 13 models available for pickup at nearby Apple Stores based on the zip code or postal code that you enter.

Key features across all four iPhone 13 models include a faster A15 Bionic chip, camera improvements, longer battery life, and a smaller notch. The two Pro models also feature a ProMotion display with a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz, up to 1TB of storage, and additional camera features like Night mode portraits and ProRes video recording.

In the United States, starting prices are the same as they were for the iPhone 12 lineup, including $699 for the iPhone 13 mini, $799 for the iPhone 13, $999 for the iPhone 13 Pro, and $1,099 for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

The sixth-generation iPad mini and ninth-generation iPad are also available for same-day pickup at select Apple Stores starting today.

I have to wait until UPS drop off my phone around 7:00 PM instead of going to the store to pick it up this morning. Because, y'know, Apple somehow can't run a website correctly on pre-order day. Embarrassing how bad it was for the world's wealthiest company.
This is a ridiculous thing to whine about.

There were close to 100 ppl in line at the Lincoln Rd Store in Miami, after making the line for hours Apple didn’t allowed us to go in to the store as walk ins, instead they made made us a reservation to go back later in the day to pick up, this is the worst iPhone launch ever. Now we have to make another line to pick up the iPhone.

I just picked up my 13 mini (I went with 512 gb) at my local Apple store. I was one of seven people in line and got in right when the store opened. They gave me $400 for my 12 mini. Everything went smoothly. Interestingly, the only cases Apple had were MagSafe. I can confirm that cases for the 12 mini don’t fit the 13, so I ended up with a MagSafe case. When I left the store, there was no one in line.
Every single case stocked by Apple stores was MagSafe compatible last year too, absolutely nothing has changed
