Apple is opening the gates for iPhone 6 pre-orders. Reserve yours now

All those years struggling with an Android device just because the iPhone did not have a big screen are gone. You can get rid of viruses, malware and fragmentation and switch to a clean, elegant mobile operating system and the phone you've always dreamt of. The iPhone 6 can be pre-ordered as of September 12. 

There are a few choices for the model, color and size, but that should be easier than the 10 Android phones they are launching every week now. You know you are getting a secure phone with updates that are not regulated by the carriers and no bulk-loaded apps that you have to delete when you get the phone.

Apple users: you already know what's best so if you really want a bigger screen and the new features, go ahead and upgrade yours too. You are going to love it when OS X Yosemite drops in a few weeks because of the handoff and continuity features.

Where are you from?

The first question that you have to answer is: are you from a country that sells the iPhone on September 19? If the answer is "No," then you have got to find a friend that lives there so he can pick it up for you.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK beginning on Friday, September 19. Preordering starts on Friday, September 12 at midnight PDT.

The starting prince for an iPhone 6 is $199 (€153.98) in United States with a two-year contract. If you want to get it without a contract, you would have to pay $649 (€502.17) in US and different other prices in the other countries. The best one in Europe, for example, is in the United Kingdom where the iPhone 6 will be $875 (€677.04). Check the attached table in the Photo Gallery (via iClarified) for a complete overview.

Choices

Do you know exactly what you want? Apple now sells four different iPhone models. You already know iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, and you're about to find out what the bigger iPhone models have in store.

You can choose between the 4.7-inch or the 5.5-inch diagonal one. They come in the same three colors like the iPhone 5s: silver, gold and space gray. The new device has a 16GB, 64GB and 128GB capacity. Yes, Apple skipped the 32GB model and they may skip the 16GB pretty soon.

You can get a complete look at the feature set on their webpage, and that is the first place you want to visit when you pre-order it.

Click the button

If Apple's website is too busy, go ahead and try their Apple Store App. Another good way is to check your carrier's website and see if they have a pre-ordering page. Most carriers do and if you want to get it with a contract, this is the best place to look for it.

Another solution is to pre-order it by yourself in a brick and mortar store (or steel and glass if we're talking about the Apple Store). Locations like Apple, Best Buy, Walmart, Target will gladly accept your pre-order on Friday morning. Some of them even offer discounts or gift cards.

The phone will be shipped to your door or you can pick it up in the store in a week from now.

The iPhone comes with EarPods, USB to Lightning cable and a USB charger. Make sure you order a case for it or get AppleCare+ to protect it.
