Well, I decided to wait for the X . . . however I'm having a great time reading this thread. It's almost as if I'm waiting on my order to ship as well I LOVE the excitement that accompanies these launches.
Nope. Tap additional options and they offer a 24 month plan without Apple care included in the cost.
Do you guys know you can buy 1 get 1 free, if you open a new line and have DirecTV? I have 4 lines, all phones paid off, so I'm going to cancel 2 lines and then buy 2 iPhone 8s and get 2 iPhone 8s free..or that is my current plan. I may just buy 1 and get 1, and then wait to see the iPhone X. I have a few days until the preorders arrive to decide.
I believe it’s for if you’re doing a trade-in that’s probably the return box or something

If I remember right, the 6S+ on ATT had 18 month or 20 month options, where the 7+ had the 24 Month option for Next Every year, as I did that last year. That may be why the 8+ & X would be cheaper a month since it's paid over 24 months, instead of 18 or 20.
Hmmmm I just scrolled down through the options and hit continue cause I was trying to get it ordered quickly (I usually don't do that) - do you know if something was automatically prechecked?

Thanks! I'm doing the trade in as well
that makes sense!Assume you are doing a trade in.
This is a fererence to the phone you will be sending back to AT&T. In the box you receive there will be a return label and instructions for returning the trade in.
This ^ is correct - and solves the mystery. The Next plans were changed last year to 24 months with 1 year trade in option. This year they're spreading payments over the same. But the 6S/+ year it was 20 months.
Yep I am and that makes sense thank you!

This makes sense too! lol ty
I have a question for the people that ordered on Next. It looks like you can now put a down payment down, which will help lower the monthly payment, depending on how much you put down. My question is, does it give that option, and then make you also pay the tax when you order the phone?
Time for my yearly check in lol
Got rid of my 7 in April and went for the s8+. I know it's an Apple forum, but that phone was awesome. The 8+ did tempt me though (and so did the "new phone" feeling), so I pre ordered on the afternoon of the 12th. I was surprised that there were still some available for delivery on the 22nd, but hey, I'm not going to complain. I went with the 8+ over the X (that black bar at the top...) and decided to live a little and get the gold. I wanted rose gold, but the gold looks close enough. I went with the 64GB this time around, so hopefully I'll be good.
Haven't checked my tracking or account this morning, but they took their next upgrade money from my bank account

Just pre-ordered my iPhone 8! Still says delivery date of 9/22! I'm guessing everyone is waiting for the X.

If you are an AT&T customer and plant to stay that way then there's no advantage of the sim-free version. The sim-free version is cool if you plan to switch between carriers - GSM or CDMA. I'm happy with AT&T so their GSM version is fine for me.
Don't think there's such a phone as GSM plus CDMA purchasable from AT&T. The Verizon phone, available from both the Apple Store and Verizon… Has both CDMA and GSM. But it assumes that you're a Verizon customer first.
I don't think Apple makes a truly all carrier phone purchasable everywhere.
The SIM FREE phone that apple sells says, active on any carrier.. wouldn't that be an essentially all carrier phone?
This is correct. Best Buy's iPhone 7s were also carrier agnostic (same sim-free version Apple Sold). I'm guessing they'll do that again this year.
