Lets say you preorder the X and Apple tells you it's not arriving until January... Vote in the poll above!
 
There will be folks that ask for an iPhone X in December
Some will wait until January, well after the Holidays
 
if AirPods were a prediction and each store got an average of 100 Units divided between
Two Colors, Two Memory Sizes, and Two Different Carrier Models (CDMA/GSM)
How many do YOU think will be
Reserved For Pre Order Pickup VS
Available For Casual Walk-ins
 
I’m thinking I’ll keep my 7+ but I do want to keep the IUP program active. My sister in law has a 6+, I may just keep the current phone until Sept when it will be paid off and give it to her when I get the next phone.

Because if I get a phone in Jan you'll have to make several IUP payments to get in sync with the next launch.
 
As much as I don't want an 8 Plus over the X I'm not keeping my SE until next year and even living with it for another few months doesn't sound very appealing to me. So I would probably break down and buy and 8 Plus.
 
I wouldn’t bother at that point, and would wait until next September’s reveal.

As a yearly upgrader, waiting until January absolutely screws me over for the next iPhone launch. It would set me back 4 months for the iPhone 9 and/or X2.

No way I’m boarding that train.
 
lol im the only one that voted for ebay/craigslist. Honestly though, I'd be willing to wait till the end of the year but thats it. if it turns jan 1, 2018, im waiting till september. I'm on a 6 plus that hass bendgate and touch death problems, so i really don't want to have to think about not getting the X. Theres no way id get the 8 though , id rather save my money and continue using my 6+ till next year.
