Get your credit cards ready! Apple's colorful iPhone 5c is now available for pre-order from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
The cheaper of the two new iPhones went live for pre-order early, but Apple will not offer the flagship iPhone 5s before its official roll out on September 20. Online orders for the top-tier iPhone will start at 12:01 a.m. Pacific next Friday.
The general consensus for the pre-order difference is that Apple wants to keep up with demand as best it can. Since the iPhone 5c uses similar innards to the iPhone 5, Apple should have no problem keeping up with demand for the device. The iPhone 5s, on the other hand, may see the rapid stock depletion we're used to with fresh iPhones thanks to a new supply chain that includes components such as the M7 "motion coprocessor."
The iPhone 5c, meanwhile, can be preordered Apple's website or directly from any of the four carriers. If you haven't settled on a cellular provider yet, here's a quick breakdown of what to expect from each carrier.
