64 black. Hoping for better odds with this model on launch day delivery considering most votes are for the higher capacity.
Silver 64GB for me , however would gladly jump on the 128GB model next Sept; here's hoping
Don't rely on that. Apple knows that for a premium product like this the typical buyer goes for the "best" version. They may very well be focusing on producing the 256'ers first too as the profit margin will be even more insane than it already is.
I wouldn't bank on availability being easier/better for any model/color combo, except that Verizon customers are going to have a tough time with all the lame-o T-Mobile/ATT customers creating accounts just so they can pre-order and cancel the line (all so they can have the "best" iPhone X lol).
Color/capacity is a crap shoot... one that by the time you're done taking, it'll be too late to adjust (before dates start to slip) anyway.
Since there is only 4 different choices this year not like 10 this time, it will be a who can pre order first type of thing...
Agree 100%. I still think if anything the 256'ers will be produced the most, especially given constraints, because of the enhanced profit margin, but it really won't matter.
If they only have 43 256'ers and 38 64's we're all about to get hosed anyway...
Doesn't really matter this go around. Normally it's black/space gray or nothing but the X's front is black for every color. It's just the back that is different. They only time I see the back on my iPhone is when I take it out of the box and when I go to sell it and take the case off.
I'll pick up whatever 256GB color is available.

I'm going with the 64GB Silver. Since I have 200GB iCloud space I don't need the 256GB also for me it's budget wise out of range
You have a very good point. Any colors are good since the front is black especially if we use a case.
I think I’m going with silver 256gb - since I have a stainless S3 watch being delivered today — It will be a change for me since I always buy black or space grey for the black front
My phones stay in a clear or wallet case so it won’t matter that much
I will sell my current i7 plus to pay off my watch payments early - so the $47 increase won’t hurt too bad. My Verizon is already $400 for 8 lines

As of now, it‘s 264 silver vs 263 space grey!
I‘m not surprised it‘s so close as both models look fabulous (and both have the black front).

64gb / silver
Google Photos makes me never needing to buy another microSD card again. I don't do 4K videos or have 60+ gb of music. Google Photos is a blessing. Planning to put my entire 1tb of movies on there. Got an unlimited plan anyway and my uploaded videos are mostly at 720p.
Space gray 8 looks too much like jet black 7, and anything white/silver/gray hides smudges better. I also prefer the stainless steel edges similar to the first three gens of iPhones. Seems like the throwback option of the 2G while the other is for the 4/4s.
Space gray does hide that ugly camera hump better and looks more consistent. But two-tone colors have grown on me with the silver X and panda Pixel 2 XL. Black front and the rear can be any color if you use a case.
Since I don't, I need a lighter color since black or any dark rears get dirty so easily under any lighting. Matte silver is definitely the most neutral. I rarely see smudges on the back of my silver One M7 and G5. That off-white color would probably do the same after seeing the silver 8 Plus.

It's always been hard to tell from the pictures. Are the SS bezels the same in the white and gray? The only difference is the back?
No! The SG will have a SG "tinted" bezel, the silver will have a stainless bezel. Some have said that the SG might scratch easily, and not look so great, while the SS can be polished with a cape cod cloth. This is a very tough choice for me, but I am thinking to stick with black as I always have. If I see a massive difference in delivery times, I will go silver.
64 GB silver for me. I currently have a 128 GB iPhone 6 + 200 GB iCloud that I hardly make a dent with storage unless I store videos on it. I might redirect the $$ savings into getting applecare since it appears that this phone might be massively expensive to repair but I'm still having trouble swallowing the cost for peace of mind.
256GB Silver X, oh yeah the more to see you with my pretty!
[doublepost=1508371189][/doublepost]Did you guys know that the Verizon and Sprint versions of the iPhone X will have CDMA and GSM networks working but the TMobile and AT&T ones only have the GSM networks working. What's up with that? Why no Unlocked Sim Free version at launch!? 256 X Silver all the stinkin way!!!

Yeah so I’ll be going for the 256 in silver
Also, my photos size has a habit of glitching by showing 65GBs used instead of 35GBs used.
