iPhone 8 Pre-Orders Still Expected in September, But Shipments Likely Delayed Until 'Several Weeks Later'

[The Game 161]

just hope the wireless charging apple come out with will have a stand that stays up and not flat.

And in other news, water is still wet and I am going to keep enjoying my iPhone 7.

Water is still wet, the iPhone is "virtually waterproof", but don't let any water get on your iPhone because Apple will not cover the potential damage.

BTW wireless charging will be a great add, esp. since you cannot charge you iPhone 7 and listen to your Lightning earbuds at the same time.

How's being stuck in 2008 working out for ya?

At least with the 2008 iPhone I could charge my iPhone at my desk while listening to music on my Apple earbuds.

In 2017 Apple has provided no way to charge the iPhone 7 while listening to music with the included Lightning earbuds. Not even the Apple Dock supports this. And apparently the only third-party solution (by Belkin) is mediocre at best. Removing the headphone jack was a major mistake which was only covered up by the good luck of the Samsung Note fiasco.

I used to help develop third party software for Android. I love Android and I've switched back and forth from iOS and Android since the iPhone 4s was out. The reason for my latest switch to iPhone was because at the time, I was dealing with my Note 7 BS and my two S7 edges that were complete failures (they might have been refurbs), I wasnt impressed with any hardware that was out in the Android world. HTC hasnt been impressive since the M7, LG was heading the wrong direction with their cheap feel and modular gimicks, the Pixel and its vanilla feel were as boring as iOS, and Samsung was obviously not impressing me with the fiasco I went through.

This next iPhone will determine what I do. Whether I stay in the iOS market is riding on how impressive this phone is. I dont care about cost like most people because of the carrier financing and I have Sprint's iPhone for life plan. If its a dud then I am almost certain I'll be packing the LG G6 around next year. As impressive as the S8 looks, I cant go back to Samsung after my experiences with their hardware. The G6 looks incredible and IMO its a huge step forward for LG.

Fair enough.

I haven't looked into any other brand's hardware because my Sammies have been working flawlessly, but I understand.

All things considered, I just cannot use iOS. Too limited for me.

And I also use the hardware features Sammy provides quite regularly, so it's not just iOS itself.

The truth is that I'm frustrated that Apple is so hard-headed and slow in implementing features that already exist in Android-land.

I would love to have the built-in integration with my Macs, but not having that is not a deal-breaker. Everything else is.

According to the latest news only versions 7s and 7s Plus will be ready for a release in September, and that will have to wait until October or November for the iPhone 8. This information augurs bad results for the next release of versions 7s and 7s Plus. With such a reduced interval between their availability and the arrival of the iPhone 8, the public might not buy the other 2 models and wait for the premium phone.

No question Sammy screwed up the Note 7. Just saying that problems with batteries are not unique to Samsung, despite their very, very public failure.

Apple is not immune to this.

It is certainly not a reason to suspect that this'll will happen every time, with all their products.

I choose Sammy because of (what and how) I can do with the devices they sell, not brand loyalty.

By comparison, Apple (mobile) devices are too limited for my taste. Wish they weren't, but that's up to Apple to improve the user-experience they tout so loudly, in botht the hardware and software sides.

Thus, I at least look and smell in my cup before I drink out of it to see it it tastes funny.

All li-ion batteries are prone to explosion or fire, that's the nature of the beast.

Whatever phone you choose you should like and should purchase because of YOUR reasons. Whether it's the antenna lines, brand loyalty, finger print reader placement, it's your own business why you bought a specific phone.

Agreed, but if you (as in, the individual making the claims) put down other's choices as inferior at least point out why you believe yours is superior (feature-wise, etc).

The whole "battery" thing is not really valid since no manufacturer is immune to it, so I had to call it out.
