It’s almost pre-order time. What is your alarm set for?
I’m in Ontario so out pre-order goes live at 3:01AM. My alarm is set for 2:50AM so that gives me 10 minutes to browse to the site on my laptop and open the Apple Store app. Then start refreshing the page

My alarm is set for 4am, same as every other work day. I decided on the 8 plus because I didn’t want to give up the home button just yet and I wanted to see how the new phone runs first. I hope Apple really knocks it out of the park on the X. Good luck to those if you who are ordering it.

Since it's 12:01am here on the West Coast, no alarm needed. I don't go to bed until around 1am on weekdays anyway. I might need an alarm to snap me out of being engrossed in a game though lol.

I stayed up. My order has been submitted. I actually was able to submit it at 1:58 am. 3 minutes early. No complaints though, lol. Says I should be receiving it on 11/3.

My alarms were set for 2:45 & 2:55 AM ET. I tried to wait up but got sleepy around 1. I definitely was confused and vaguely remember hearing the alarms but I didn’t really come to until 3:03 but the store was still refreshing. Anywho my order is officially placed and I’m going back to sleep.

I got right in and ordered. I’m already on iPhone Upgrade Program so I was able to prequalify. It pulled right up when I opened the app, hit order, confirmed with Touch ID, and called it a day. Process took probably 15 seconds.

Same here, 17th November; right after my birthday.
Alas, here's hoping it delivers earlier - Apple are known for this.

The website (via iPhone, iMac and Windows), didn't go live till 03:06. I wasn't impressed. However, it did the same when I ordered the iPhone 8...

It will be a nice B-Day gift Yeah I had site on my iPad refreshing and the store app on my phone reloading. I added the phones under my favorites so I would get right in and just add to my bag then checkout. The iPad came up after the app already opened on my phone. They were both showing 3-4 weeks at that time grrrr lol but I’m not one of those release day have to havers. I posted it up in my Facebook and already got 2 offers for it from friends
