[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that the all-new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max models will be available to pre-order on Friday, September 13, although at a brand new time: 5 a.m. Pacific, which is 8 a.m. Eastern.

In previous years, iPhone pre-orders had started at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time.

iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max pricing starts at $999 and $1,099 respectively, the same prices as the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max that they replace. The iPhone 11 starts at $699, down from $749 for the iPhone XR.

East coast got shafted before...

 

[jbachandouris]

8am? Yay!

$110 trade in for AW4? Really Apple?

 

[xinam]

£1049. LOL!

 

[dominiongamma]

They didn’t say when iOS 13 will come out. Little sloppy on Apple’s part

Not a major screw over as it was for east coasters. You'll survive the 5 am wakeup vs the 3 am wake up eastern guys had to.

That’s 12pm UTC for rest-of-the-world-ians.

 

[thisisnotmyname]

I liked the old late nights, it was kind of fun

 

[Hieveryone]

I would rather stay up then have to this in the morning

1300/1PM London time

Can we get some details on how the iPhone upgrade program will work? When I clicked through the Apple store app to check out the details it says I’ll be responsible for the entire amount due on the iPhone loan, minus the $500 trade up value? That sounds bogus!

The old time was inconvenient in the rest of North and South America. It is still a convenient time for Europe, Japan, etc.

I’m skipping this year

September 19th

September 19th

Oh thanks! Did they mention it during the keynote? I was curious if I missed that detail lol

3AM pacific would be a better compromise so that both coasts need to work at it.

 

[Sparkie_e]

Gone up by £30 for the 11 and £50 extra for the pro in the UK....... I know GBP isn’t what it used to be........but WTF?

 

[MacUser09425]

Freaking Millennials probably cried too loud....

No they didn’t someone posted a link to the press release in the live update thread. iPad OS September 30th and no idea for MacOS. WatchOS is same day as iOS

 

[BootsWalking]

You can't ask me to order a $1300 phone before I've had my morning coffee.

 

[The.Glorious.Son]

I would rather stay up then have to this in the morning

Based on what they unveiled today I doubt you’ll even need to pre-order. I have a hard time seeing these phones selling out.

Usually during the keynote they would mention the date, this may have been the first year the skipped that

disagreed. sleep cycles work better for 3 am wake ups. you wake up at 3am, place order, go back to sleep

waking up at 5am is terrible. either you go back to sleep for 1 hour and wake up to feel horrible (due to waking up mid sleep cycle) or stay up after waking up which is still awful.

apple should have made it 3am pacific. waking up at 6am for east coast isn't as bad as waking up at 5am. and 3am pacific guys can go back to sleep with enough time to complete another sleep cycle.

 

[Middiebear]

For some reason (sarcasm) I think everybody will be fine pre-ordering with really no need to even wake up at 5 AM for the west coast.

There’s really nothing exciting about this year’s version or ‘must have’ feature to justify the need to pre order anything ASAP.
