Figured I'd try to get in early and download the new os, but nothing yet. What time of day do they usually make it available?

Good thing about living in Hawaii: I get it first thing tomorrow morning! Technically it's the same time as everyone else... but it feels like I get it sooner...:D

Why is Sydney never quoted on these lists? Yes I know I can guesstimate based on the Tokyo time, but ugh! Is Moscow really more relevant to Apple than Sydney?

Is this list actually officially sourced from apple or is it going by previous year announcements.
 
It's not even previous releases as those have been earlier a bunch of times too. There is no particular time.

Well, Moscow is the capital of the largest country in the world, 5th or 6th largest economy in the world (Australia is much smaller), and, as one of the BRICS, is a rapidly growing and vibrant economy.

So yes (with all due respect), I would say Moscow is probably much more relevant to most markets. However, I dont think Apple official announce release times for their iOS releases, so I think this is not an official list.

Yeah, I can see them sticking to the times they've used in the past. That's 1800 for me here in Berlin.
 
It looks like another long night, I have to keep remembering that when Apple give a date for software launches it is for their part of the world. For me in Australia it is already the 18th september and nearly 7pm. I usually do not get to sleep till 2am as I am an insomniac. But i guess I can sleep this one out till the morning.
 
Is it possible to get an new version of iTunes earlier this morning? You need it for iOS 7 but when both versions iOS 7 and iTunes are ready at the same time, the Apple server goes down...?!!???

Depending where in Australia you are, at 2am you are almost there!! Have an extra coffee!

I am from Melbourne, I do not think I can make it till 3am, but i am so sick of ios6. I cannot wait till the morning to move my iPhone 5 to get that parallax effect without needing those silly 3D glasses.
