So if I wanted to make sure to get my order in as early as possible, what's my best bet? Webpage or apple app through my ipad (my iphone is so crappy I don't trust it wouldn't crash in the middle or I'd do it cause they'd already know the trade in I have at that point).

I'm still so torn on which one to get.

I had 6 Plus, 7 Plus but then went the X and then XS, so now I'm unsure whether to return to the larger size.

I had the same dilemma and after using the X/ XS I wasn't sure what to do. However, as I hardly use the iPad these days, I decided to go back to the larger size (after 7 plus, I should be used to it) to "combine" phone and tablet and as I use it for media/ gaming/ photography, I think it's the best choice.

I'd expected the Pros at a different event. That they did the normal iPad at this even signals to me it'll probably be next year not in a month or two though. Seems we haven't heard much in that area...

The last few years, Apple has hosted an October event after their September event. Usually Mac and / or iPad centric so we'll see if that continues this year...

welcome, nowhere
I think I may try to get into the Upgrade program.

I recently got a (used) Xs Max for $700, because I had lost my previous phone. So if I trade that in, I can get $600 towards the new phone, and then keep upgrading perpetually. I guess I can do that?

Great. I bought an apple store gift card to cover a bit of the cost so the rest could all go on the Apple card. And now that's still processing and they brought the whole store down until pre orders a live.

So MetroPCS has a thing that if you switch with them you can get an iPhone 7 32gb for $50 and then I read that with t-mobile that if you trade in a iPhone 7, you can get 50% off the iPhone 11?

Has anybody done this with their iPhone 7?

Holy fuck I just saw the Filmic Pro stuff (I know, two days late). That's so cool. Filming a wide and telephoto at once will be useful for so many things. Doing front and back at the same time will be great for bloggers and interviews etc.

I'm on a 7 and I think the glass effect and cameras look amazing. But holding out for 2020 to skip the notch (hopefully). Not for me.

Yeah I was assuming an October event until they dropped a new iPad at this one. That plus lack of leaks makes me think it won't happen so soon. I'd like it to tho

I think there will be an October event... we still have:

New MacBook Pro (16")
New iPad Pro
Mac Pro and Display (maybe just a press release announcement though?)
Apple Tags

Apple app via Apple Pay is the fastest, I think. Make sure you have the exact model you want saved as a favourite so you can access it quicker.

Damn, the Pro's camera quality is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for an iPhone to have, definitely getting me one, although probably not to next month at the earliest.

Ok, slightly confused about the process in the UK - if I want to get on the upgrade program (or apple payments) do I still preorder online today at 1pm, or do I have to go to a store? The website says IUP and AP are only available in-store...

Ok thanks, so is it just a case of going through the process of preordering but picking collection? Or is there specifically an "I want to join IUP" during the preorder?
Im struggling to remember, sorry but if I am not mistaken when you are asked how to pay you can select the iUP and then you make your appointment.

I've used my iPad pro 11inch constantly since I bought it and I really dunno what they could add.

is the new MacBook Pro going to have the new keyboard people rumour of?

I'm getting a 256GB 11 pro. Probably green. I'm not particularly excited about it. I think this is one of the least interesting updates to the iPhone in several years. In many aspects, it's a refinement. And that's nice. But it seems like Apple has found a habit of stepping backwards on key technology every few years. I still miss TouchID, which was a more convenient, faster solution than FaceID. FaceID works fine but it's just not quite as good, and it's a shame to have it as the only biometric auth option. I think it makes more sense on something like a MacBook, which frustratingly uses TouchID. The use cases are opposed; Apple's solutions here are totally backwards. And now they've also taken a step back with haptic touch replacing 3D Touch, which was a terrific solution for adding new, responsive inputs on the touchscreen. All these secondary inputs are going to take just that much longer now. They had a good solution for years. Now they switch to something slightly worse, slightly slower. It's frustrating.

I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I am excited. An awesome new color, finally Ultra wide. I love faceID over Touch ID because my skin and those sensors don't like each other.

The remove of 3D touch is the only thing I miss, but in the end I had no problem with it while using the XR for some months.

Can't decide between the 11 or the Pro. Pics aren't really my thing so don't think I will get the benefit of all the extra camera stuff so hard to justify the extra cost for it really so might just stick with the 11 and see what changes come next year to see if it's worth getting the top line one

That green is a great new color that hopefully sticks around unlike rose gold, but man that all white silver with no text on the back...

11 is probably the better value. I imagine it will be like last year with the XR where the 11 sells way more.

I'm upgrading to the 11P from the 6 so I've completely skipped 3D Touch and won't be missing it all that much 🤪.

I liked 3D Touch but don't care that it's gone now. Haptic Touch is just as fine and is implemented well.
