That's okay. Apple says I have a 27" iMac.. I'd love to know where I'm hiding that!
Another user posted the email date/time from last year. It was 7:04pm PST to be exact. The only reason to suspect they won't do the same this year is that they didn't explicitly mention it during the keynote as they did last year. HOWEVER, last year was the first time they offered it, so there was reason to mention it. Not the case this time around. Think about all the other stuff they didn't explicitly mention, or only mentioned in super quick passing, or even not at all except for in the graphic showing all the cool new features.
I'll expect the email until it doesn't come.
“Customers who would like to pay monthly for their iPhone — including those trading in their current device or joining or upgrading through the iPhone Upgrade Program — can use the Apple Store app on their iPhone to get pre-approved until 9 p.m. PDT on Thursday, September 12, before iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max pre-order begins.” So judging by that in their press release they will be preapproving at some point.
Looks like “pre-approval” started last year on Wednesday 9/12(found an old email) and pre-orders began on 9/14. I assume they will start tomorrow...hopefully.
Wonder if you can get preapproved in the UK or if it’s a US only thing. Want to join the programme.
But last year the keynote was on the 12th because the Tuesday was 9/11. IOW the email was from the same date as the keynote. So that would mean tonight.
Quit asking if you do not like the answers

Awesome, Thank you!!
Yes much easier to do at 7 AM central vs 2 AM hoping though for email saying we can prequalify making a one button push at 7 AM or when I get inYes. There's been a lot of hand wringing over this, with people in the plan feeling that they should get to pre-order early. It's not why I'm in the program, but I'd certainly appreciate the ability to do so!
Still, with the 5 hour delay in pre-order time this Friday, it's not going to be painful to be at my keyboard at 8 a.m.

Yep love the 7am time central US. I am hoping we get that email again to pre qualify and not have to do the carrier and credit approval at 7 AM or later. I remember it was maybe late in day of keynote or next day we got that email.
Yup email should be here by tonight. You make me wonder though...if you don't hit the button at 7am and instead do it say an hour in when ship times have slipped, will our ship times slip? Or, in getting pre-approval are our phones somehow set aside?
