The presale for the first iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus starts at midnight tonight. It's only available online at wireless provider websites and Apple.com. The new phones will be sold in stores on Sept. 19.
Diquan Richard has preordered an iPhone online before and says it's easy to fall behind in the hunt.

Some analysts think this will be the biggest launch for Apple since the original iPhone. They said the first batch could sell out over the weekend. Bui said it's important to be fast during the presale.
"Have everything typed out and you just cut and paste into the appropriate fields. Credit card information, first and last name -- all that good stuff. It saves those precious seconds because things like that go by super quick," Bui said.
