Well, the time has come to gather around and sweat it out getting the new iPhone lol. Who's going to be pacing back and forth, waiting till 3AM to order a phone?? I know I will be lol.

This is like my Christmas and a tradition for me. Every year, I think it gets easier, but it gets harder lol.

This is more of a fun taking thread.
 
One of the joys of living in Alaska - Sales go live at 11 PM!!
Lucky!!

I'm already scheduled to take Friday off.
Dam, you are ahead of the curve! lol

No question I want the XS Max.
The older I get, the harder is it to stay up until 3am. lol
I'm with you, I need the big one! go big, or go home LOL!

I also explained it to my fiance as "a second christmas" for me lol. The joys of living on the east coast, I'll also be up pacing until 3AM like I do every year, but it's always worth it!
I'm not the only one :apple::)
 
I’m cautiously hopeful. I’ve never skipped an upgrade on launch day. I’m excited but it’s tempered. If the X-Plus-Max is only a larger screen with minimal camera aperture improvements and a faster processor, all for the low low price of $1100-$1400+, I’m gonna have a hard time getting rid of this 8 Plus for that.

Either Apple has managed to finally quell the rumors, or this is setting up to be the most boring iPhone upgrade in history.
 
1am for me.

I love this time of year. :)

(Getting a Max/Plus/whatever to upgrade my current X ... so stoked!)

the X-Plus-Max is only a larger screen

That alone is more than worth it for me. I love the OLED display on my X ... getting a Plus sized version of that screen? Absolutely.

The Crazy Season is upon us once again.
It sure is!
 
Is there any chance preorder is available at midnight on the 13th? The waiting is killing me.

If Pre-Ordering starts on Friday the 14th, it would be very early in the morning depending on your time zone.
 
Ive just realised it’s 6pm tomorrow (UK time) the Apple event is on, and not today.

Isn’t it normally a Tuesday?
 
On the one hand, I really want to order mine as few minutes after the site's opened as I can click through the necessary screens.

On the other, it seems like I really need to physically hold the new models to be absolutely certain which to get. What are the chances of that on release day?
 
I don’t know want to sound paranoid but I’ve had to hard reset both my iPhone 6s Plus & iPad mini 4 today, as they both were stuttering along. Haven’t had to do that in months.....
 
Right now I'm excited for the keynote. Once they've sufficiently hyped me up, it's going to be hard to sleep Wednesday night, but I'm more concerned with how work will go on Thursday. I'll be essentially useless thinking about how i'm going to pre-order at night. I think the week between pre-order and getting the phone is the worst, especially since they already have your money and you have no phone.

3AM for me, already told my office ill be in at 12pm Friday.
 
Usually pre-orders are 8am here in the U.K. so it’s not too bad. Not sure I’ll be upgrading this year tho, especially if the iPhone X Plus is just s bigger screen, my iPhone X from last year works great. We will see what’s announced tho. Definitely looking forward to the Series 4 Apple Watch tho :)
