The new iPhone 13 will be available to pre order from Friday 27 September, according to the UK's leading mobile networks.
Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the new-look iPhone 13 and Mini handsets, along with new Pro and Pro Max versions, in a glitzy live stream on Tuesday evening and pre orders for the phone will open in the UK this week.
Pre orders at EE, Vodafone and Sky have been confirmed for 1pm on Friday 17 September, while O2, Three and others are expected to open pre orders at the same time. The handsets will be officially available a week later.
EE has confirmed the exact pre order time for the iPhone 13 range. That ties in with Apple's own timings and is expected to be the same everywhere. You can find out more here.
Vodafone too has revealed 1pm will see orders open. It has set up a simple sign up landing page with zero information about UK availability. Prices have not yet been revealed.
Sky has opened a pre order page where potential customers can sign up in preparation for a 1pm launch. You can pre order the iPhone 13 here.
The new iPhone 13 and iPhone Mini include new features such as the most advanced dual-camera system ever on iPhone, super-fast performance, longer battery life, a brighter Super Retina XDR display, double the entry-level storage at 128GB, and an industry-leading IP68 rating for water resistance.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing., says: “iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max make up our most pro iPhone lineup ever with the biggest advancement for our camera system, the best battery life ever in an iPhone, and the fastest performance of any smartphone, setting a new standard for iPhone and enabling incredible experiences never before possible.
“The new pro camera system offers even more pro photography capabilities like improved telephoto zoom, macro photography, Photographic Styles, Cinematic mode, as well as ProRes and Dolby Vision video.
