My $3000 iPhone 11 Pre-Order Experience!

I decided to get my hands on the iPhone 11. I opted for the 64 gigabyte variant, mainly because I won't be using it as my daily driver, but rather as a tool for creating content here on my channel. The thought process was that since I wouldn't be taking up a lot of space on it, going with the base model seemed like a good idea.

The iPhone 11 is actually the successor to our beloved iPhone X, and I must say, I've developed quite an attachment to it over the years. It's my go-to phone when I need something that's reliable and gets the job done. I know some people prefer the newer iPhones, but for me, there's just something about the iPhone X that I love. The battery life was exceptional, and I loved holding it in my hand – there's a certain feel to it that's hard to put into words.

The pricing on the iPhone 11 is spot-on, with the base model starting at a very affordable price point. I'm confident that this will make it the best-selling phone of the year, possibly even all of 2020. In my reviews, I'll be sharing why I think the iPhone 11 is the way to go for most people, especially those looking for an excellent camera and features without breaking the bank.

For me, the new color option was a big draw – I opted for the beautiful purple shade, which I've come to realize looks quite cool. It's not too deep or too bright, but rather a lovely lavender hue that catches the eye. I'm excited to see how it looks in person and whether it matches well with my other Apple devices.

As an added bonus, the 64 gigabyte model came with 64GB of free storage space for just $6.99 – a steal if you ask me! With this phone, I know I'll have plenty of room for all my files, apps, and content creations.

In a surprising twist, I also decided to pre-order an Apple Watch Series 5. I went with the GPS plus cellular model, as I think having cellular connectivity on the watch is a must-have feature for me – it's perfect for making calls, using the Walkie-Talkie app, and staying connected on-the-go.

The best part? I'll be picking up my new iPhone 11 and Apple Watch Series 5 at my local Apple Store. I always stress to my viewers that pre-ordering is a great option, but it's also essential to go to an Apple Store to pick them up. Waiting around for FedEx or delivery services can be frustrating, especially when you're counting on your new devices for work or content creation.

I'm really curious to see what other iPhone and Apple Watch configurations my viewers have pre-ordered. What did you guys get? Which model did you choose, and why? I'd love to hear about it in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video, be sure to give it a thumbs up – I appreciate your feedback!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brendan and happy preorder dead today was of course the day that you could pre-order the brand new iPhone 11:11 Pro and 11 Pro max it did happen to fall on a Friday the 13th so I was kind of hoping I would have good luck like I usually do and I was able to secure my iPhones which we'll talk about here in a second so yeah pre-ordering the iPhones every year it's like a holiday tradition for me obviously because I had this channel super exciting time and this year was no different actually there was a difference this year I didn't have to stay up til 3:00 a.m. I was actually able to wake up at 8 a.m. a little bit before 8 a.m. because this is the first year they actually pushed the pre-order time back to 5:00 a.m. Pacific time instead of just releasing the pre-orders at midnight Pacific time but anyways I decided to make this video just to talk to you guys about which iPhone models i pre-ordered give you a little vlog a little behind the scenes look at how I was preparing for the pre-orders and stuff like that so before I show you guys the pre-order process and talk about the exact iPhone models that I pre-ordered my let's cue the vlog alright guys so it's iphone pre-order day it's about 753 right now and it's Friday the 13th so I'm hoping that has nothing to do with my luck at pre-ordering the new iPhones obviously because I need those for the channel on day one so hoping everything goes smoothly usually does but I'm just about to eat some breakfast take my medicine head upstairs to get ready to preorder pro tip guys take your vitamin C every day and also pro tip if you go to Costco get some of these guys they are amazing and since everybody always wants to see my cat there we go alright I need to stop wasting time we only have about four minutes before I need to head upstairs and get ready to preorder I so you have about three minutes left I'm gonna go ahead and set this on the tripod so you guys can see how the pre-order goes so yeah that was literally my first time ever vlogging so cut me some slack on that but you guys saw the whole pre-order process you saw that I was able to secure all three of the new iPhones and I want to talk about exactly which models like got and why so the first one I preordered is gonna be my new daily driver it's gonna replace my iPhone 10s Macs and that is the iPhone 11 Pro Macs in the new midnight green color I did also get it in 256 gigabytes since I do tend to use about 100 to 150 gigabytes on my daily driver phones these days I mean honestly Apple should start at a minimum of 128 gigabytes possibly even 256 gigabytes I mean if you look at these samsung phones they start at 256 I don't know why Apple still starts at 64 gigabytes it's honestly a ripoff for that price so I would recommend nobody to get the 64 gigabyte at all especially with that small of a price difference and of course I did get it unlocked and SIM free because I do just like to switch my phones around a lot and I don't like dealing with like the carrier and you know activation and stuff like that but yeah I'm really excited to see the new midnight green color I've heard a lot about I've seen a lot of videos online a lot of people praising it a lot of people like the look of the color obviously we have the frosted back on the new iPhone 11 Pro and Promax yeah I thought 11 still has the glossy back but the pro and Promax have the new frost like matte backing on the iPhone so I'm really looking forward to that obviously the clean look on the back as well with just the Apple logo in the middle it's gonna look really nice I just can't wait to get my hands on the pros obviously I can't wait for the 11 as well but the pro max is of course the one I'm most excited about and then next up I order the regular iPhone 11 Pro which I personally think is going to be the least selling iPhone of all of these which I'll touch on here in a second but I decided to go with the classic space grey color it's just one of my favorite iphone colors of all time it looks so good but anyways I decided to get it in 64 gigabytes as well just because I won't really be using it that much I mean I'm buying it mostly to make content here on the channel I'll use it for a little while but it's never gonna be my full daily driver so I'm not going to be taking up a ton of space on it so that's why I just went with the base 64 gigabyte variant and then I ordered the iPhone 11 so this is the iPhone 10 our successor so the iPhone 10 our last year probably became like my favorite phone honestly like I use that over my iPhones that's max at certain times just because the battery life was great just felt so great in the hand there's something about the iPhone sitar that I just absolutely loved and that was not the only one I mean I was the best selling phone last year and the iPhone 11 I'm telling you is going to be the best selling phone and you know q4 of this year probably possibly even all 2020 I mean the pricing on the iPhone 11 is just spot-on and the features that you get the camera everything is just excellent I'm gonna talk about all that in my reviews but I think the iPhone 11 is definitely the iPhone you should get you know for most people most people out there should be getting the iPhone 11 instead of the pro or the pro max and again I'll be telling you why in my review videos when I do get my hands on them so I decided to get the brand new purple color I think the purple looks really cool it's kind of like a like a lavender color it's a really light purple it's not really too deep or you know too girly or anything like that which I was kind of worried about before we saw the announcement but the purple actually looks really good I hope it looks that good in person I haven't really seen too many reviews on that exact color of the iPhone 11 but I think it's gonna look pretty good plus I just like getting all the new colors and the only new color for the iPhone 11 was green which I already got midnight green in the Promax so I decided to go purple here with the 11 and of course I did go 64 gigabytes and some free for just $6.99 that price $6.99 for this phone which is going to be a beast of the phone I mean you just really can't beat it and then finally I did also pre-order the 44 millimeter Apple watch series 5 I got this one in the aluminum casing with the pine green sport band so this is hopefully gonna match with my iPhone 11 Pro Macs although I will be swapping out that pine green band for a leather band a nice leather band pretty soon after I get it but still I thought it was a cool idea to kind of match the watch band with the new color of the pro max I also chose the GPS plus cellular model just because I think having cellular on the Apple watch is a must I use it all the time for like making calls for doing the walkie talkie all kind of things I think cellular is a must on the Apple watch and all the items will be available for pickup at my local Apple store on Friday morning at the first time slot available which is the 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. time slot cannot wait for that I always stress to you guys when you pre-order your new iPhones to go to an Apple store to pick them up because there's nothing worse than anticipating something and having to wait all day and look out your window all day for FedEx to come and drop off your package it is the worst especially if you're like me and you have to make videos on it and it's very time-sensitive I always tell you guys pick it up in an Apple Store it's the most reliable way you know it's gonna come to you you know when you're gonna get it you don't have to sit there and wait around for somebody to deliver a package so yeah that was my iPhone pre-order experience here in 2019 with the iPhone 11:11 Pro and 11 Pro mags and also the Apple watch series five let me know what you guys pre-order down in the
