That would be a crazy event.. at a minimum there would be watch s6, new iPads and new iPhones. I don't see why they can't announce and just be honest "Look, we will be accepting orders on [this day] and we know it's a little later than usual".
The problem is here is my plan allows me an upgrade for free every year - if you upgrade before the 12 months there is a £100 fee. So I can upgrade for free in about a week (anniversary of when the iPhone 11 was released last year). So this year if they release in October/November that then means I cant upgrade for free until October/November next year, so if Apple go back to September launch I either pay £100 on top of the £80/£90 a month or wait two months....
Its a hard life!
Its a hard life!
Have lived in Dubai for the past decade.. always have to pay cold hard cash for every new phone. They've only now started payment plans on phones but there's something nice about saving up and not having to worry about that. Phone bills are outrageous here but I get 250mb/s DL speeds on 4g LTE.
Yea that's right. It doesn't affect me right now, but I definitely think 8AM Eastern is stupid. People could be on the way or already at work. At least 3AM, you just set an alarm, pop up, order, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
EDIT: Plus at 3AM, the dedicated are ordering. 8AM you are fighting with the general pop too who just happen to be up anyhow, so they order.
Tricky part is you need to know the later preorder date first so you can order the first so you are still in the return period with the first.
Yea that's the second half of the issue for anyone on installments too who can upgrade in 12m. You're paying extra payments until the delayed phone arrives, and then if the next year is normal, you need to pay up to 12 payments to upgrade then.
Some of us don't have the luxury of falling back asleep that easily. I was thrilled when they switched last year.

Once they announce the iPhones, they will list all the pre-order dates for all models I'm assuming.
I use this app for recording my transactions when saving and I liked seeing the money jar fill up. I’m going to start doing doing this every 2 years and pay outright for my Apple devices.
I hate the new preorder time. At 8am I clock in to start casing my route at work so I wouldn’t have a chance to preorder until I hit the street to deliver mail between 9:30-10:30am. The best thing for me would be to take off work and preorder. I’m also taking off on the day my device arrives. I have a UPS premium account until the end of the year (thanks T-Mobile Tuesday’s), so I can pick a 2 hour window for my phone to be delivered.
I hope they go back to the old preorder time. I loved staying up with my fellow iPhone lovers to wait on preorders to go live. It's like only the dedicated were up that late to order.
Agree. Although waking up at 2:30A and constantly refreshing the apple store app/webpage at 3a waiting for the store to go live was frustrating at times, there was an excitement for sure.

i'm eligible to upgrade now, but if new iphone launches in october means i have to eat 1 extra month of payment on my current phone, uggg, i may decide at that time to pay it off. can i pay off the current phone 12 months into IUP and sign up for a new IUP on iphone 12?

Not necessarily! The iPhone X was delayed and didn't launch until November. What they did is let us IUP members pay much less in the first payment, which is usually over $100.
wow really? did not know that. if i want to keep my current phone by paying it off now, do i have to get pre-qualified again for the iphone 12 IUP when i sign one up later?

Also the Apple Calendar Event for next week is 2 hours long. Doesn't mean it WILL be two hours, but that seemed odd to me for an event that was allegedly meant for iPads & watches.looks like iPhone is being announced next week.

They're going to show off the iPhone with a release date of in October
its 128GB base ain’t it which is the sweet spot and perfect for most
Hopefully this is true and upgrading storage from base won’t be needed for me so cheaper phone
I assume so but I don't know. I always upgrade every year in the program so I haven't hit that scenario myself.
