Fri Sep 20 11:44:44 UTC 2024: ## iPhone 16 Series Launches: Same-Day Pickup Available at Select Apple Stores

**Cupertino, CA** – Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 16 series, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, is now officially available to customers worldwide. While pre-orders placed on September 13th are being delivered, those who opted to wait or didn’t pre-order Pro models may have to wait until October for their devices.

However, for those eager to get their hands on the latest iPhone, Apple Stores across the globe are offering same-day or next-day pickup options. While US and Canadian online stores haven’t yet updated their pickup availability, shortages are not expected.

In Europe, all iPhone 16 models and colors are readily available for pickup in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Similar same-day pickup options are also offered in Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Türkiye, and the UAE.

To secure same-day pickup, customers can add their desired iPhone to their bag on Apple.com or the Apple Store app, proceed to checkout, and select the “I’ll pick it up” option. They will then need to enter their ZIP or postal code, choose an available Apple Store location, select a pickup date, and a 15-minute check-in window. Payment is completed online, and a valid photo ID and order number may be required upon pickup.

Walk-in customers may also be able to purchase an iPhone 16, depending on store inventory, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Walk-in customers may be placed in a separate, lower priority queue.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus bring significant updates over previous standard models, boasting features previously exclusive to Pro models. These include a customizable Action button, a new Camera Control button, a 48MP Fusion camera, macro photography, the new A18 chip powering Apple Intelligence, and more.

iPhone 16 Pro models further enhance the experience with larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays featuring thinner bezels, longer battery life, a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, the faster A18 Pro chip, Wi-Fi 7 support, faster 5G, and faster charging.
