Today
Apple started taking pre-orders for the fresh iPhone SE it unveiled previous
this week. The pre-orders went live in the US and over 40 other republics and
territories. These pre-orders are supposed to start delivery in exactly one
week from today, on April 24.
However,
if you haven't yet put in your pre-order in the US, you will really have some
more waiting to do until your new iPhone SE reaches you. That's because the
delivery dates have already slipped to early May at this fact, and obviously
may slip even additional in the next few hours or days.
This
means the new iPhone SE appears to be quite popular, especially in the US. Then
again, we don't know accurately what Apple's initial stock for the device was,
so it may also just be a case of insufficient stock. Whatever the reality, if
you want an iPhone SE you may as well act fast on that pre-order.
Things
seem to be fewer extreme in other parts of the world, where shipment approximations
of April 24 are still being shown in Apple's online stores.
The
iPhone SE is fundamentally an iPhone 8 that's powered by the latest A13
chipset, and has better-quality camera software. It's offered in black, white,
and red. For detailed pricing info, check out our explainer post.
