It’s literally 10 dollars more per month than the iPhone 7.How is it that so many people can afford the $1800 256gb iPhone X?
You guys must be earning around $200K a year.
Or are you doing what a lot of YouTubers are doing and asking subscribers for money/donations to fund their purchase of the iPhone X?
Man, I wish I had the money to buy the 256gb iPhone X.
Maybe I need to set up a YouTube account and get subscribers to fund me or set up a GoFundMe page....
So? Lol. That literally can be said for just about anything. Just enjoy the moment.
Same thing I found. I am cancelling my order with Apple this morning. I think this happened with my 7 maybe and worked out ok. Got it on launch day from ATT after cancelling Apple order.
Sprint is for people who are trying to save money, and choose not to spend >$1000 on a cellphone.
If I were buying an X, I sure wouldn't be on Sprint.
That's funny in an all-to-real sad way that no one wants the Sprint phones.
I don't even hate the notch or anything, but in terms of actual features there's just not much of a difference between the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.
I think the smaller screen to body ratio is a winner for me. Can't stand the thick bezels. I am using Galaxy S8 and it feels so much easier to use then other similar screen sized past generations.
Most people aren’t actually buying their phones. They’re leasing them under 1-2 year contracts.How is it that so many people can afford the $1800 256gb iPhone X?

You were lucky the Apple Store loaded for you at 3:01... for some of us it didn’t load for 9mins after launch! So yes, it is pretty stressful because for two years in a row now some of us first IUP customers are getting shafted in the preorder process. I’m going to make damn sure Apple hears about it and sorts me out for next Friday!Do you drive a beige Volvo by any chance?
You say there is no reason to upgrade but you are looking at that from the biased point of view of someone who just bought an iPhone 8 plus a few weeks ago. While I'm sure there will be some iPhone 8/8 plus owners who are buying iPhone X today, I suspect most are upgrading from older phones in which case the upgrade is much more compelling.
IMO, getting a higher res OLED screen and dual OIS are pretty big features but when you add in the rest of the iPhone X features, it's not too much of a stretch to go that extra €240 or whatever it is, especially when spread over 2 years. That's €10 a month or around 30 cents a day.
As for the "stress" you speak of, well I'm sure I'm not the only one who woke up 5 mins before launch, started and killed the Apple Store app for a few minutes then grabbed the preset 'favourite', hit Apple Pay and went back to sleep with a 3rd Nov delivery date. Not trying to troll those folks who didn't have such a smooth experience but for at least some of us upgraders, this is not a stressful experience, at least until the credit card bill comes in...
When I first filled up my order on Apple.com (it was ready earlier than app in France) at 09.06 am it said already 5/6 weeks, for any model and color.... then luckily I remembered that I still had to check for in store pick up and... BANG! Got my grey 256gb for November third!! Few minutes later alsoall pick up options were gone.
This makes me wonder how they divide allotments for the various kinds of delivery.... how is it possible that same product was already “sold out” for home delivery, but still available to pick up in store??
Thanks for your opinions and please excuse me for my poor English.
BTW.... can’t wait for my baby to arrive now!!!

This was all a response to wall street complaints that there were no more lines at stores. Tim was like ok sure we can fix that here sprinkle some X all over the stores and boom instant line waits and here goes the stock price up up and up and away. We are simply pawns in a game between Tim and Wall Street in this fight. Angela was right just let them order them in advance lines are the enemy.
wow! 11th March. That is a long time to wait :wink:I've got an in store pickup for 64GB Black on 11/3
There were definitely some anomalies in the ordering process overnight. For example, orders placed through carriers were going through ten minutes before the store was supposed to go live, and the iPhone app didn't come up for me until about 10 minutes past the hour. Once I got in, my IUP order was very quick, apart from not being able to specify store pick up at home—I'm out of town and the app only showed stores near my hotel.
TBH, I would have been disappointed if I got a 5-6 week ship date, but I expected it to be even longer for late orders. Either supply was higher than some analysts were predicting or demand was lower.

I've had Sprint for years now and haven't had a problem. If the T-Mobile merger happens then it will be even better.
Same except with T-Mobile. People either didn’t think to go to the carriers or they got pretty large allocations. TMo still shows launch day delivery for 64 silver and no config over a one week wait.
I too have a Reservation number (AT&T). My number was received both in a message and an email. But when I will hear from Apple and how my number relates to an actual ship date, ah, now that remains a mystery.
My reservations are still just that 5 hours later, the carriers seem to be the roadblock.
