iPhone 6S: How to SKIP the queue when pre-orders go live tomorrow
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.

"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."
