iPhone 18 Apple Upgrade Preorder

I’m trying to preorder the iPhone 18 pro with the Apple upgrade and it keeps asking me for my birthdate. I keep entering it, and it either says it’s not in “MM/DD/YYYY format” which it very much is in or just asks again and again infinitely. I’m over 18 and my birthdate obviously matches across Klarna and everywhere else. How do I fix this?

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

Are you trying to order using the U.S. Apple online store from another country? If so, that will not work. In this Apple polcy document fo the online Store:


Apple - Legal - Sales Policies - U.S. Retail Sales


scroll down to the section, "U.S. Sales and Shipping Only"


There are instructions there for finding an Apple online store that is compatible with your location.
