No, the SS models were there (in the states at least). You had to search for them and they do have 0% financing on them, it that's what you mean by lease. I got a SS SB in that manner using the ATT website. It took me a second to find them, it was not as straight forward as it could have been. But everything worked, albeit slowly.
Will be Getting iPhone X. Sad!! we are still more than one month away from pre-order.
Think of it this way: you still have something to look forward to. I just ordered the new Apple Watch which will be coming next Friday, then I'll get the iPhone X in November (hopefully) and HomePod in Dec. It's going to be a very fun Q4!
People complain up a storm when 16GB is an option. Now Apple makes the difference in price between the 64GB and the 256GB the same as the old 64GB and 128GB and people complain. Wow. "We don't want too much space even if it's at the same price of the lesser space we had before!"
Sams club USA has $100 gift card and $20 off apple card or $10 off square trade. Better than nothing. I just reserved it. Don't have to put any credit card information down. So no commitment.
Still will get iPhone x

I'd wait for next years model hahahaha I love the 4S but the battery is about gone. Plus, I got the 64GB and I am just now filling up most of the storage. I have been debating getting the X and joining everyone in 2018!
actually, that is exactly what you're doing. Apple can't sell your refunded iPhone 8 as a new phone, so it loses money. Lost money that will be compensated by increased prices. Of course just your action won't make a difference, but count in al the people who do that.
Its clear the rollers and fan booi's are waiting for X. There is zero excitement for the 8. Also think the return rate for the 8- will be high (over the next 2-4 weeks)
Is that the Sim-free version? I thought last year they waited awhile before you could buy that.
It appears that Best buy is either charging $100 more than everyone else or they put in the wrong amounts.

Here we are 6 hours after launch and Verizon still has all 8+ configurations available for a 22nd delivery. I've never seen that in an Apple launch before.
But maybe Apple had really low expectations with this launch.
Still plenty of availability in the UK - I did consider getting one, but instead opted to book an appointment for a battery replacement for my iphone 6 - Maybe next year (unless iOS 11 knackers it)
Ordered my phone before heading into work this morning. Was able to get the iPhone 8 plus with 256gb in space grey with no problem at all at 03:10am eastern time. Rcvd email from AT&T at 3:27 stating that the iPhone will deliver on 9/22. Ordered through the At&T website and the Next upgrade program.
Also ordered the space Grey Apple Watch 3 cellular from Apple directly and will be able to pick it up on 9/22 from the local Apple Store. Ordered at 3:05am eastern
Ordered a product Red case for the iPhone 8 plus as well and Apple will ship that to arrive on the 20th, which is cool so that when the phone arrives on the 22nd it will go right into the case.

iPhone 8 is more expensive than iPhone 7, at least in my country
It's good if you need 64GB since you can buy the base model, but you pay about $50 more than last year.
32GB weren't enough for me, so I'd save $50 but they didn't upgrade the storage for free
iPhone 8 is just a price mark up iPhone 7S with less feature upgrade in a normal "S" cycle. Most people will just want the iPhone X unless you can't really afford one. The iPhone 8 shipping estimation pretty much confirm that most people would buy iPhone X. During a normal iPhone launch, the shipping estimation will shoot up to 3-4 weeks within minutes, and the iphone reservation on the first day will be all booked within minutes.
The iphone 8 reservation on the first day to pickup last more than an hour in my local store, which never last more than 5 minute in last couple years.
Expect the iphone X will be gone within minutes just like the Jet Black last year.

It's pretty sad honestly. I'm not a fan of the fragmentation of having 3 new models. I hope they go back to just 2 next year. Not sure how that would work though.
Still lots of availability this morning apart from a few configurations. I bought a phone at 8:30pm last night! It was the SE . Now it dropped $50 It was time to upgrade my daughter from a 5 and she prefers that form factor over a 6S...
My wife decided to stick with her 6 for now and sees no need to upgrade especially as she still like a head phone jack. I still like my 6S+. I thought I may wait out for the X but thinking more and more about it, I'm just not sure about the Face ID and the notch. I won't rush to get that one and I think I'll hold out for the 2 gen. I'm considering the X a first gen model and I think it prudent to see real world usage reports before jumping in on that..

They did. This is the first year I've seen an explicitly SIM free model in the U.S. store at the pre-order phase. Usually it doesn't come along for a couple months although last year you could buy the VZW phone in-store at launch. It's the same as the SIM Free model.
Or maybe, just maybe they learned from past mistakes and upped the production enough. I'm sure they knew the X would sell more, so it was a good idea to delay the release a few weeks. Instead of 3 phones releasing all at once, pace them out a bit.
Next year the mainstream devices will be OLED XI and XI Plus. Then a cheaper option like an SE 2
Totally agree with X will be super-hard to get, but I think the 8/8+ purchases are not just for the price, but also those not sold on the notch and FaceID. I'm coming from a launch day 6, and my three-year old phone is dying, so I'd rather get the 8 right away, stick with what I'm used to, and consider trade in for the next gen XI or whatever next year.
Preorders for the X will be coo coo crazy. Good luck getting it before xmas. (And I don't mean that in a nasty way, I hope people can get it!)
I think they made enough .... imagine ordering an 8/Plus and being told 4 weeks lead time. People then think "may as well forget that and get the X".... then limited supply of the X so people just give up and don't upgrade and wait til 2018 cycle.
