Pre order vs Available. Whats the difference?
A friend of mine just preordered his iPhone 13 in Malaysia from the official Apple Malaysia retail website "apple. com/my". And its showing its estimated delivery is almost a month later near the end of October until first week of November. Why is it so late?
It says available starting from 8th October and preorder from 1st Oct. Doesn't that mean Malaysia should have stock of the new iPhones from 8th October?? What does "available starting from 8th October" mean anyway? Its so vague. Does it mean I can buy directly from any apple retailer store from 8th?
I thought pre-order meant I will get it earlier compared to those who ordered later. But if I order online and its delivery is a month later but its available on stores earlier.. what should I do now if I want to buy? Can someone clarify these? Thank you
