On Thursday, Apple detailed new ways to shop for your Apple products, including Siri reminders for when the new iPhone is available to pre-order and new monthly payment options with 3% cashback on the Apple Card. “Whether a customer is seeking personalized support and advice from an Apple Specialist or taking advantage of Apple’s convenient delivery and pickup options, free engraving, special carrier offers, or great new trade-in values, the best place to buy the latest Apple products is at Apple,” Apple wrote in its blog post. Other helpful ways to shop include the ability to shop one-on-one with an Apple specialist, both online and in-store, and the ability to get money towards your new device by trading in your old one. The iPhone 13 lineup is available to pre-order starting Friday, and the iPad lineup is also available for pre-order. The company said customers could expect their new devices to be delivered beginning next Friday, September 24. Apple’s new products were announced earlier this week during the company’s event on Tuesday. The new iPad mini features a complete redesign both inside and out, with a larger 8.3-inch liquid retina display and a thinner frame. The cameras also have been upgraded on the new iPad mini, with a 12MP back camera with True Tone flash that can record in 4K and a 12MP ultra-wide front camera that supports the popular Center Stage feature. The iPhone 13 lineup also has some noteworthy new features, including the most advanced dual-camera system in an iPhone yet, a new Cinematic Mode, extended battery life, and the A15 Bionic chip.
