So roughly 24gb per hour

In Alberta I’ll be able to get (with trade ins included) two 256gb iPhone X’s for less than the full cost of a 64gb iPhone X.

That’s with a 2 year contract. Not everyone is willing to sign up for those though. Personally doesn’t bother me, because I’m paying for cell service anyways. Might as well pay less upfront on the phones.
ya but how much are you paying per month? While I am in ontario, and buying outright, I only pay $34 a month for my 4gb plan on the telus network.
 
Woohoo! The first of two Qi wireless chargers just arrived. (one's for the SUV) :) Should be able to do wireless charging and wireless airplay once I get my X. :)

Edit: Wireless CarPlay. :)

Holy crap?! Are you an Ontario Government employee??? Only rates I ever heard of that cheap (my uncle).

This seems to be the most popular model, i'm betting it sells out first.
Not if they made more of them. :)

Thats the rub...I'm sure the business intelligence team in Cupertino have an idea of which models are going to be more popular...and hopefully the manufacturing rates reflect that.

That's one of the aspects of these launches that I find most fascinating. How the heck do they really predict demand? Especially for the X. At the prices it's listed, I couldn't even imagine guessing the breakdown for 64 and 256.

Apple's always done this though. The entry model always has considerably less memory....so they force most people to upsell to more memory than they actually want. Guaranteed if there was a 128GB model, that likely would have been the most popular one.

Exactly, if Apple had 64 and 128GB, the 64 won't sell. Now the ones who are hesitating between 64 and 128 will get the 64GB, because the 256 is too overkill, and much more expensive of course.
 
Haha, definitely more than that. I wish I got 4gb for only $34/month.
That's not typical for Ontario though....just took a quick look at planhub.ca - if you're willing to not have a calling plan, you can get a pretty cheap deal, but that's about it.

Actually, most people will get the 256 that need 128....because they can't fit into 64. :(

The other variables that throw a wrench into the mix are base storage going up to 64, and the price being more expensive than in the past.

I feel that make use of cloud services going with 64 is very viable. I know I'll be doing that after using 128GB for past few years.
 
Word is, if you're ordering 2 you might want to make them separate orders....if the second one is held up, they'll hold the first until the second is ready to ship.

And word is, you should preorder at 12:02, not 12:01. You need to let the store breathe a little first. ;)

It's been a few years since I've preordered...if you manage to get your order in time for the first shipment, do phones in Canada typically get delivered ON launch day? I'll be going on vacation for 3wks on the 6th so I'm really hoping I'll get it in time-wondering if I'm better off trying to pick up in store instead.

A day before
 
Can't decide between silver 64 gb or silver 256 gb.
I currently have 128b with 95gb free. So The 64Gb would be more than enough, and I can save a good chunk of money. But what if I need more one day?!

if you'll be shooting/storing any kind of high quality video, 256 is really the only option.

I don't really. I take a few random pictures here and there. If I'm on vacation I take a few more pictures but nothing insane (eg. My last trip I only took like 30 pictures).

Video I hardly ever take, and if I do they're short clips.


Buuuuut, what if the new selfie portrait mode turns me into a crazy narcissist and I can't stop taking selfies? It would be quite sad to be limited to 64gb.;)
 
Everyone raise a hand that ***** hates ROGERS!!! :mad: Set my alarm for 1am. Come out...no internet. (I have Fido cell and internet). Yep, that's right. These bastages are doing maintenance on Apple Pre-Order night.

Now, an hour later, I have internet again *whew*!!! :D

S'ok...a health dose of caffeine will calm me down. :)

Then 256 would be safe buy.
