Got my 8 plus !

I'm confused as to how a Canadian got their 8 plus before they were even getting dropped in New Zealand!
Do you work at a phone sales store of some kind? The two photo's look like they were taken in the back of a store, were these photo's taken during unpacking for store display models? That would explain how a Canadian got their hands on a copy so early.

im tired of seeing 7 owners piss n moan about how the 8 is an incremental upgrade that isnt worth it, when most of them probably had a 6s.
the 8 is no less an upgrade over the 7 as the 7 was over the 6s as the 6s was over 6.
just because the x is available doesnt make the 8 any less of an upgrade over the 7 like any other year's flagship.
the 8 isnt even that old of a design, considering the 4/4s/5/5s were all very similar in design - 5/5s really werent THAT different from 4/4s. really apple is sort of on a 4 year major design overhaul with refinements to the design each year.

Obsolete? Really? The X is a complete redesign, so I don’t think the 8/8+ will become ‘obsolete’, it just won’t be the flagship. Some people are so quick to rubbish the 8/8+.
Thanks for sharing your pictures! This 8+ space grey is world’s apart from my 6+ space grey. I like that it looks closer to black.
At the time of their post it was around 1am in the earliest time zone possible. And if I’m not mistaken it was determined that they are in Canada.
so to sum up this topic:
-with the iPhone X you are just a $1000+ testbunny for Apple, using complete new technology and a ''free'' Notch to look at, all day, every day.
-with an iPhone 8 (Plus) you got a well finetuned iPhone with well known technology (for Apple) and about $200 cheaper.

Please do video recording in a silent room. I gotta know if it hisses during recording.
No remorse here. It will be fun to see how many people from November 3rd on start referring to the IPhone X as my ex iPhone
It's just a matter of preference for everybody. Some prefer the iPhone 8 because they're not interested in the iPhone X and vice versa. You have options as a consumer, an Apple has some of the largest iPhone line up options available for everybody. There is no wrong choice what somebody chooses, it's just a matter of what they want from the device.
