Apple has the hard data, my guess besides the US where I am guessing 95%+ will just pay the extra few dollars and get it on installment, what other countries will come up with 1000+ (currency+VAT) up front - I am thinking its possible they will be some decent stock available in the US if you get up early and order
Yes, yes... we ALL know- when you run Apple you’ll make sure that a product has been out for several months & has completely reached supply/demand parity before you ok even the very 1st ad!
That’s soooo very “tech company” of you! I mean, that’s how ALL other tech companies do it, right??
Usually you want to ninja a product out there, hope people hear about it through word of mouth, and only even bother doing an announcement that the product exists after it's obsolete.
Now THAT is how you make sure you stay away from internet ire & never get accused of performing the unseemly “marketing”. *shudder*
/healthy dose of sarcasm
There's a bunch of buildings in Toronto that have painted advertising murals rather than billboards. As someone already said, it probably has to do with getting around municipal bylaws.Wow, I had no idea the billboards are painted, yet the results look identical to the photos from Apple!
Apple frequently uses buildings around Spadina and King for ads like this, going all the way back to the iPod. It's a good way to reach commuters on the streetcar.
If anyone lives in NYC, the Times Square subway station has an entire hallway that goes from 7th to 8th Avenue that has iPhone X ads lined up down the whoooole thing.
I’m excited to preorder. I hope people who did iPhone Upgrade Program have better options
I don’t think heavy marketing means that there’s going to be heavy supply... Not one bit.

That's a heavy assumption without any validation. Those who pre-order expeditiously, will likely have a higher chance of receiving their device in a timely fashion. But undoubtedly, this will be a very popular phone for obvious reasons. So naturally they're going to advertise this phone as they rightfully should. But Apple knows the production numbers, you don't.

Would that make the "3 November" centered? at first glance, it looks ok. Always tricky when we're not dealing with monospaced fonts!
Really? I'm out here in Waltham...might have to take a little trip into the city.
I haven't noticed an advertisement for another company's product (that's not related to a business in the building) painted on the side of a building for years. In Metro Atlanta, digital billboards seem to be all the rage these days.
I don't see the point in wasting advertising money for the iPhone X if it's going to sell out anyway in a few short minutes.
That's my town
Gotta look outside in any weather and watch an 'average' of people to gauge the temperature lmao.

Lol. I’m Canadian as well, just across the lake in Niagara.
No, not at all. I'm not suggesting a major shift.
Right now it's not aligning with anything.
It looks like it's trying to align with the 'i' in iPhone, but just needs to slightly over to the right.
edit: 3 November is actually probably centred under the iPhone.
Nevermind...
What are the chances I could pre-order 2 of them and receive both on Nov. 3rd? Also are they going to be available unlocked sim-free on launch?
