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!

Don't select that you have an iPhone to Trade In. That is only if you are selling them your iPhone back (which under the iPhone Upgrade Program would require you to buy your phone outright first).
 
Here in Europe/Norway pre-order changed from 09:01 to 14:00. In my option 09:01 is better than 14:00, however no problem pre-ordering 14:00 for me.
 
If I’m only using 43GB of space on my phone now, is it reasonable to assume 64GB model will be plenty for the next year? Definitely wasting money this past year on a 512GB model when just about everything is in iCloud..

I’m in the same boat, with about 40GB used. Personally, I’d go for the 64GB and if needed purchase a larger iCloud plan later on for a few dollars. That’s what I’ll most likely be doing.

I already pay for the largest iCloud plan for everyone in our family to sync their iPhones (6 iPhones via Family Sharing). I just checked my daughter's phone and she somehow is still managing to use 92GB/128GB on the phone.. likely due to the 1,000s of TikTok videos. She's gonna need to figure something out because we're all getting 64GB phones this time.

Does Apple allow in-store pickup for iPhone pre-orders? I'm going to Europe a week later and would love the improved camera of the 11 (currently have the XR).
 
so, screw over the west coast people
If anything the new time screws the East Coasters. 8AM will be in some people's work schedules, and not everyone can just walk off to order a phone on demand at work.

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.
Exactly and now 8AM will conflict with East Coasters work schedules. Not everyone can just go order an iPhone on demand at a set time while at work.

8 A.M.

Right in the middle of my commute. Guess I’ll get to school early on Friday.
Exactly conflicts with East Coast school and work.

Now it's getting a little confusing. If we do pickup in store and want to just hand the Store Rep our old phones to trade instead of shipping them back, do we pick we do or do not have a trade in when preordering?

There's no need to walk off. You order straight from Apple Store app which you can do in the middle of a conference call. Took less than 30 seconds for me last year.
 



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.

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.
