I got up around 7 and in that time I was able to get my mac, iPhone and iPad ready. I've been successful with securing the last two iPhones and apple watch on launch day. In fact this year by 08.30 I managed to get three orders in for the 128GB iPhone 7 plus in rose gold, all for launch day. Cancelled two later on.
