I’m gonna stay up and at 12:01am order an iPhone 6.

I have a 5S that still works great!

 

[Peepo]

I can't wait until tomorrow sometime where I will most definitely get an email from Apple announcing the iPhone X is available now and how to order LOL

 

[volcomvenom]

I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of disappointed people tonight when their ship dates quickly start slipping into next year.

I'll be one of them and just cancel it if not Nov 3rd delivery date

 

[pixelss]

great, can't wait to get the rose gold one

 

[timdawes]

It’s 18.01 in Sydney FYI

Nvm someone posted haha

Praying the app doesn’t screw up here in Manila... or I’ll be menacing Telstra stores next Friday

 

[JosephAW]

I love to see the stats of the number times the store app is simultaneously being loaded right now.

 

[_Refurbished_]

It will probably sell out in minutes. But there will be stock in stores around the world on launch day.

I think Apple is tired of the press saying the devices aren’t popular anymore since there are not long lines anymore with people buying them online. That’s how I bought my last couple of iPhones.

Apple now is going to make it a point to show huge lines of people waiting for stores to open on launch day.

Too bad you can't get it preloaded with iOS 10. Then I would think about a X and sell my 7+

Hoping for a Silver 256GB. Hoping it arrives before New Year's Day. Hoping I'm not hoping too much...but I probably am.

 

[Blorzoga]

I’m going to keep randomly checking, maybe it will launch earlier than 12:01

Yeah, good luck with that.

 

[littyboy]

Is it 2 per account or per household? I wanted to get one for each member (4)?

 

[DakotaGuy]

In one word----Nope

I would expect the prices to go even higher on the 11 especially if they make a Plus version. The X will probably stay about the same and the 8 will be the more economical choice.

A $1500 iPhone 11 Plus might sound high, but as long as millions and millions of people will pay it I don’t blame Apple for charging as much as possible. Prices like that really help the profit margin.

Weather outlook not so good tonight. Or Carrot Weather is a real bummer. View attachment 727636

lol... neat

 

[ke-iron]

God, what happened to Apple? That design is ugly.

We are past the initial response stage. This is the acceptance stage. Either you buy or don’t buy and move along.

 

[eoblaed]

Is the concept of time zones a new phenomenon? Why does Macrumors think people are so stupid that they don’t understand that 12:01 Pacific time translates into different times in other parts of the world?

No. They're just being helpful and offering conversions for some common places to help folks out.

 

[iapplelove]

Yeah, good luck with that.

Yeah because checking a few times a few minutes early is really hard work

 

[eoblaed]

God, what happened to Apple? That design is ugly.

To each his own. I think it's gorgeous.

 

[maverick2007]

Not only my iphone is slow but my internet is also slow today Xgate!

 

[kbro]

It goes on sale 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). Not “Pacific Time”, that’s not an actual time zone.

Not every place in the country respects Daylight Savings time, so you have to be precise.

 

[Blorzoga]

Lol they absolutely have the tech to test that.

It’s called sarcasm.

 

[JosephAW]

You think Woz changed his mind? Probably is already is playing with one now.
[doublepost=1509072044][/doublepost]I think Apple should stop with the numbering scheme now that they reached "X". I can't image an iPhone 23 or XXIII.
No, they should restart with the same way as the watch and call next year's model "iPhone X Series 1"

 

[ryanwarsaw]

I am trying to stay on the sidelines - I can afford it but Apple pricing really rubs me the wrong way. I wonder if next year when they go to 2 models, are we going to get more reasonable prices?

Once they get everybody on 256GB they will have 128/512GB for the next line up.

Dam how can I give 80% of my paycheck to a phone

Favoriting your phone doesn't guarantee faster access to the store amid all the traffic. Someone who didn't favorite their phone could checkout before we even get access.

I see a newbie
