iPhone 6S: How to SKIP the queue when pre-orders go live tomorrow
Avoid the queues by pre-ordering your new 3D Touch enabled iPhone 6S through the Apple Store iOS app
THE Apple iPhone 6S will be available for pre-order tomorrow morning at 8am. But how can you make sure you get your hands on Apple's latest hardware?
 
Apple will begin taking pre-orders for its iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus first thing tomorrow morning.
The latest iPhones boast a brand-new 3D Touch technology which senses how hard you are pressing the display, upgraded cameras and a speedier A9 processor.
Apple has also made the iPhone casing and screen much stronger – which should avoid any Bendgate backlashes this year.
The US firm usually kickstarts pre-orders on its latest handsets one minute after midnight in Cupertino, California – which works out around 8:01am here in Blighty.
 
That means you'll need to set an alarm tomorrow morning if you want to make sure you get your hands on the iPhone 6S, but there is another trick to skipping to the front of the queue.
Pre-order your new iPhone using the Apple Store app on iOS, a method recommended by Apple itself.
While the Apple website can take a few minutes to update at 8:01am and can become sluggish when the inevitable barrage of customers flock to order their new iPhones, the app often makes the process quicker.

One reader commented on the little-known phenomenon on Apple-focused technology blog 9to5Mac, posting: "Last year Apple’s website was unreachable for hours while people using the App got there orders through – and ahead of us in line!
"If you need to order via the website […] you are going to be waiting for hours, while everyone using this single button click goes ahead of you."
Pre-orders for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus go live in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and Singapore tomorrow. 
The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus should also be available to pre-order from your favourite UK mobile phone provider, from tomorrow.

Alongside the new smartphone, the US firm also unveiled a new larger iPad Pronew Apple Watch models and a refreshed Apple TV set-top box.
