The Apple Keynote for the anniversary edition of the iPhone is only ONE day away. What are you doing to prepare? Anyone taking the work day off? Any iPhone pre-release rituals? It's my first time so i'm curious how everyone else is coping.
Got a tip for us?

Classes at uni start on Sep 25, so I have free time to watch the keynote and pre order the phone as soon as it goes live. I won't be sleeping the night before the pre orders go live (here in UK it will go live at 8am on 15th), want to absolutely make sure I am able to pre order it the second it goes live, so will keep myself awake with lots of Redbull and/or coffee, pre order the iPhone X base model and then go to sleep peacefully, and pray to god that it arrives on launch day!
Apple's live events require an iOS, macOS, or Safari Browser-compatible device to watch. It's later released for download after the event is over.
So I make sure my events app is downloaded to my Apple TV, my iPad is charged and same for my iPhone. I also have a MBP I can use if needed.
I did take the day off work this year, but for other reasons that happened to overlap. Usually I take a long lunch at work

Wow so lucky! That's awesome you'll be available to watch it. So you can pre-order the night before the keynote? I didn't know you could do this.
Nothing special about it, whether you watch it live or a recorded version later on Apple's website or YouTube, makes little difference
Keynote is tomorrow (12/9) and pre orders will go live on Friday (15/9) at 12am in US, which translates to 8am here in the UK, so I'll be staying awake till 8am, put my pre order in and then go to sleep!
Lol I'm just going to watch it while I'm at work. I feel like all of these rumors and everything have kind of spoiled the surprise for me now...still gonna be an interesting keynote though
Fall treats in hand for snacks while watching the keynote live via ATV4 on home theater, and making sure my address, CC info and upgrade eligibility is up to date on Sprint and Apple website.
Should Sprint not be online for hours when presell goes live, backup plan is to use AppleStore app....

Disappointment over the high price and low amount of RAM? That was mine in 2014, and it looks like again this year.
To be fair though, my 6s Plus has got a crack in the screen glass and is due for an upgrade. Will be watching the keynote live.
Why not just go to sleep and wake up at 7:50 to preorder - you don’t need to be awake all night
what if you’re so tired that you accidentally order the 8 rather than X?

Usually sleep pretty late (3am), thought I can just stay awake a little longer and pre order. When I fall asleep, it's hard to wake me up!
Are you implying you're going to wet yourself?make sure I've got enough diapers at home (no, I do not have childeren/babies
as soon as I hear Tim's first 4 ''great'', ''amazing', ''incredible''....yeah that's usually the moment I need to change diapers
It's actually not that similar. This thread has a poll attached asking which iPhone model would someone be interested in purchasing after the Keynote tomorrow. And the OP asked what prerituals do others have prior to the Keynote. That other thread you have doesn't indicateisyed those topics.

iPhone X beginning of November if I can warrant the cost in upgrading my contract with Vodafone UK.
Being from the UK means I’m usually home for the keynote at 6pm. Slightly different this year as I had to plan a business networking event. Was due to be tomorrow but I scheduled it later in the week off the back of speculation. I never miss a keynote! Made a prediction of when the event would fall back in May and seems to be heading that way

I'll just have the stream up on my phone and will be following along in here periodically while I'm working. I'm also essentially prepared to be disappointed in the top iPhone model not being available until Christmas or so. Sad I'll have to wait, but it is what it is.
