Does anyone think X might drop in price come x'mas or at least have few things bundled in like say wireless charger or usb c fast charger? I'd be happy to wait a few months, but will I be waiting for nothing?

LTE Apple Watch here I come! Gonna pass on the iPhone 8 though, I'll just wait for the X on Oct 27th. The future of phones are all gonna look like the X, 8 already feels outdated.

I’d say zero chance of Apple doing that. Other companies maybe, like Walmart or target.

You will absolutely be waiting for nothing. It won't even be able to meet demand until 2018. I say just try to get it when it launches.

I was going to pre-order the watch but since there seems to be numerous versions of what Verizon is doing I am going to wait.

Side question-
has any pre-order ever actually crashed the site?
 
is it really necessary to take the website down 5 hours before pre-orders? I like Apple products but the company is a little bit dramatic and obnoxious sometimes. I'm no tech expert but I'm pretty sure a company with the resources of Apple doesn't need to take their website down at all for this.
 
I’m really curious about the load on their servers for this pre-order. I expect it’ll be record lows. Not necessarily a bad thing as it’s due to the iPhone X delayed launch. But if they do sell out, hopefully it means an easier time ordering the iPhone X.

I assume this will be carrier only like years past? Sure wish they'd stop that crap and let me preorder a sim free phone paid in full up front. Oh well, I imagine I can get a VZW phone on Saturday following launch day like I did 2 years ago. Or I may wait for sim free on the off chance I'd switch to Sprint.
 
Would have been if it was below a grand and got rid of the notch

I agree with it being below $1,000. As for the notch, can you think of a solution for that to work? All those lenses behind the screen just isn't plausible in 2017. Maybe in another decade.

A small bezel would have worked just easier on the eyes I guess like a strip. like in the note 8
 
That is your right, but the 8/8+ are respectable upgrades for anyone other than 7/7+ owners, imho. The A11 Bionic chip with Neural engine alone already is a beast, that plus the camera improvements and 4K @60fps video.

My only regret would be no JetBlack available.

Eh, I’d recommend going with the 7/7+ for the deep discount.

I know bringing down the store is simply a marketing tactic but it's old hat now. You already had the 90 minute commercial, Apple, just put it up already without the added manufactured drama.
In 2017, it feels like a drama act. Do we really need to take the store down? It's not like couple of web page writers are starting to write all the new pages.:rolleyes:

Ahh I see. Well I almost considered a Note 8, but after seeing iPhone X achieve a truly bezel-less phone (with the notch considered), I think it looks fantastic. As for a 100% 0 bezel phone with no notch (while keeping front lenses), one day we'll see how that works and who accomplishes that.
