I cant remember in previous years when Apple sent the email to those of us already enrolled in the Upgrade Program that allowed us to get approved again and pre select our phone choices so at time of launch for our time zones, all we need to do it go in and click to complete the order.

I hope we get the option this year.
 
2018 iPhone Keynote was 10AM PST, 09/12/2018

I received the upgrade email at 7:04PM PST, 09/12/2018
Subject: Get a head start on your upgrade to iPhone
Sender: News@insideapple.apple.com

I hope it comes this year too!

NINE HOURS! WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MYSELF IN THE INTERIM!??!?

/s

I look forward to receiving the email and making my selection :)

Also, thanks for digging through your emails for this.

Oh awesome I was wondering about this, I remember doing the pre-approval process last year and it made the pre-order process so fast and painless. Really hope we can do that again tonight and be pre-approved!
 
Yes thank you for looking!! I really hope they do it this year. I think in previous years they even talked about the option in the keynote which this time they did not.

I am glad though they are opening pre orders for the new watch and ipad early so the servers on iPhone day are not getting hammered by all sorts of products

Yup. The other aspect is if you're getting an iPhone as well as another product, you risk your ship date slipping while you add the other stuff to your cart. Crazy the early demand.

Yes, it was a smooth process. Just go to the app store on your phone and it is very nice ....
