In an attempt to curb the number of threads about pre-order choices/configurations, shipping statuses, etc, we are asking that all discussion about it remain in here.

Pre-orders officially start tomorrow at 5am PT/8am ET, but you can pre-pre-order by using the Apple Store app, or Apple website to lock in your pre-order choices (including color option, storage, payment method, etc.). You have until 9pm PT/12am ET to do this.

The idea is that when pre-orders open tomorrow, you won't need to do this and check out is only one tap/click.
