8 being delivered on launch day. Which means I'll be able to easily upgrade to the X2 (or whatever it's going to be called) in Sept 2018, while all the people who are getting an X this year won't yet be eligible for an upgrade.

Not true. On Verizon you have to pay 50% of the price. If you haven’t, then you can just pay the difference which is usually just one month worth.
 
I'm upgrading my Black 7 128GB to a Silver 8 Plus 64GB. I was going to wait for the X but the pre-orders for that phone will be a nightmare I'm sure and most of the features of the X are in the 8 Plus anyways. Picking up from Southpoint Apple Store on 9/22.

The 8 plus gets over an hour more battery than the X too. The only difference is the screen doesn’t have the ugly notch. Oled is nice but not an upgrade until they can embed Touch ID under it. Also the secondary lens on the X does have ois but given the choice I still would rather use the primary 1.8f over the 2.4 ois on the X’s telefoto, even with ois. Post processing can crop just fine. The primary 1.8 lens is far superior and will yield better images than 2.4.

Lol at the people dead set on “degrading” the 8 as a 7S. It’s has nearly every single spec/feature the X has. So if the 8 is a “7S” then so is the X. Good job in making fun of yourself.
these people loving the x are just associating it with xxx as in porn. Ya think they really know what they are talking about? Not one bit
 
I tried to order my 64gb at 8am on Friday and it wasn't available. I went to the Best Buy website and ordered it and I't said delivery on launch day. It only says confirmed right now. Anyone else order from Best Buy?
 
I'm not going to cause this thread to jump shark but I just done see that happening. Yes consumers can voice all they want. Who knows my the X next year has a headphone jack and Touch ID

head phone jack is dead and I no longer miss it... been wearing my AirPods non-stop since they came out; they really should have shipped with the phone, this would have created less of a back lash.

I don't see Touch ID coming out either... mainly due to the fact that they repped face id as a bajillion times more secure than finger prints and it would be odd to go back on that. Maybe both will be put on the phone, 2 factor authentication or something?

You have a pick of yourself with the airpods ?

Right, so if someone doesn't actually get an X until February (and according to the rumors, it could be that long before supply constraints ease), it'll be past September when they can get a new phone. Of course they can pay in advance but I think most people wouldn't pay another 3-4 months of payments for the privilege of upgrading a phone they just got a few months ago.
 
Nope, consumers should always voice what they want. I'm not the one that should get over things.
I use my headphones with 7 (and will with later models). Just put a small adaptor ( i bought 2 of them) and voila my headphones are Lightning-compatible and even sound better.
 
They probably make it so the carriers are in agreement not to deliver until the 22nd? Although sometimes aren’t they delivered a day before release date?

They must hold them until the promised delivery date then boom, they are magically delivered on that magical day!

Zhengzhou to Anchorage to Louisville. Then to states/provinces and local delivery.

Ah, yes. I forgot it's originating from China. Now it makes sense.

Has your order status changed at all have ya been billed?
 
Telus in Canada is offering the iPhone 8 64GB at $430 or 256GB for $630 upfront on a 2 year plan - we've been longtime Telus customers and can keep our existing data plan. So this is a pretty good deal (I think...)

Any thoughts my fellow Canucks?

What's the plan?

I have an unlocked iPhone and with Fido I get 6GB data, international text, Canada unlimited minutes for $50. Do the math based on the Telus agreement vs an unlocked phone.

I think buying the phone up front is still the better way to do it as deals come up every six months with different providers and it's seamless to switch.
 
That's for the stainless steel with cellular. You can get the aluminum for $400 with cellular.

The Apple Watch Sport is only $400. I have a series 2 and love it.

Sure, I know. My point was is that a cellular watch costs as 3/4 of an iPhone, while doing just a tiny fraction of what a phone is capable. It’s not like an iPhone was downsized to a watch size keeping all or most of its features and hardware.

You can do this silly cost comparison/rationalization "exercise" for everything in existence.
I was sure someone will reply something rude to my comment, but you were the only one. Go get your prize.
