App was solid, as usual. Quite nice that there was pickup options almost across the board, even with ability to choose timeslot, all within the app.

8Plus, Space Grey, 256GB. In-Store pickup. Thank you iPhone upgrade plan pre-approval. Took less than 15 seconds to checkout.
 
To those getting 8 Plus over X, could you help a brother out on your thoughts to skip the X? It would really help me with my decision!
Also congrats on your purchase!
Cheers!

I thought I'd wait the X out to see if there are any RL glitches before investing in one. My 6+ is old and is running out of memory (with every update it's just gotten worse) so I decided to go with an updated version of it.

Ordered. 8+ Space Grey 64G upgrading from 6S and joined the Apple's iPhone Upgrade program.

Easy process this year other than being 3am!
 
15 minutes in and all iPhone 8 and Plus configurations are still available Sept 22.

Not good demand so far.

Had to do in-store pickup instead of delivery because when you do an upgrade through carrier, it only can deliver to account holder's address, and I will be at work when UPS guy comes through. Surely a signature is required for delivery so I didn't want to risk missing it.
 
Verizon was accepting orders 10 minutes early. I was able to order an iPhone 8 Plus in silver, 64gb, and was through checkout in about 2 or 3 minutes. Upgrading from a 6S Plus so I'm looking forward to it!!

I noticed that, was on VZW site at 11:55 and iPhone 8 was already showing haha. Ordered 8 Plus 256gb in space gray. Was ordered by midnight, crossing fingers for shipment next Friday!
 
Bought an SIM-free 256GB 8 in space gray w AppleCare at exactly 3:03am EDT. The Apple Store app was the smoothest, quickest shopping experience in memory (including TouchID payment!). Totally Apple. In-store pickup in a week. :D :apple:

How did you see it first though just on front page, app, or shop tab?
 
Done, no X for me.

Couldn't get in on my PC through AT&T or Apple website. Went into the app on my iPad, took about 2 minutes. Have a 64g gold 8 coming for an employee that would hate learning how to use a phone without a home button. I'll order an X for myself in 6 weeks.

Painless.

Got two of the 8+ In SG and Gold, 256 GB, on the Apple Store app. Much easier than the web which stayed down until after I placed my orders on the app Delivery on the 22nd. Shipping has already slipped to 9/25 to 10/2

The basic 42mm watch + Cellular, Apple TV 4k, and silver iPhone 8 all showed available with delivery 9/22 at 3:15 EST.

They've either figured out the logistics/supply, or we're going to see a crapton of orders for the X next month.

64 GB 8+ SG ordered. Was going to go with 256 due to the amount of video I like to shoot, but with the new encoder, I think I’ll be okay with the 64. May have to dump a project onto the Mac Pro more often with 4K @60 FPS, but with airdrop that’s easy enough...

First time with Apple. Should have chosen pickup. Doubt I can change it. Oh well
