I got both actually. I got my iPhone 8 Plus 256GB used off eBay for $711 and purchased AppleCare+ after it came in.
Got a tip for us?

Oh that’s a really good deal!
I guess people are getting buyers remorse due to the iPhone X being released soon.
I'm definitely getting a 128 GB. I'd prefer a Space Grey, but now that only the back is white I wouldn't mind a Silver if it meant getting it sooner
this poll is terrible and should be redone
not everyone that votes in here is aware its either 64 or 256.
there is no 128gb option and I dont think you can assume all that voted that were 100% intending that to mean 256

Made another poll because the other one incorrectly had 64/128 and its really only 64/256 that are the iPhone X SKU options available for purchase so. . .
I went Samsung galaxy s8 plus. Bigger screen, bigger battery, NFC isn't locked to apple pay, Samsung pay is incredible and accepted everywhere. Face I'd with retina scan plus fingerprint sensor. SD card slot. Why pay more for less? Why cripple yourself? Its like buying a wheelchair when you can walk just fine.
Because people like different things. I sold my S8 Plus to get the iPhone X because I think it is a better device.
[doublepost=1508645949][/doublepost]I'm planning on goin with 256GB silver. Just trying to decide between IUP or AT&T Next.
I'm not sure if the OP was asking anything about samsung. But thanks for injecting your opinion anyway.
But as for samsung pay accepted everywhere, that is a incorrect statement.
I actually own and use a Samsung S7 Edge, so I'm very familiar with the Samsung line. I will admit that I will miss Samsung Pay, but I don't really shop at retail stores all too much (few times a month) nowadays. The Galaxy doesn't have Face ID, it only has Iris scan and facial recognition. Face ID uses a 3D image of your face; Samsung hasn't incorporated that specific feature into their devices that.
You're preaching to the wrong person man. I love Samsung and I love Android, but I'm tired of the lag, and I'm tired of the ****** battery life when I add more than one email account (business purposes). If the Note 7 was what the Note 8 is (minus the battery life problem), I would have stayed with Samsung. Also, I hate how Samsung has to use Snapdragon in the US for CDMA compatibility, would have preferred Exynos on US GSM carriers.
Besides, between my airpods, apple watch, and iPad ... I really think I should switch over to an iPhone now.
Actually that's a somewhat true statement (exception being the retail store blocks it to promote their own payment app). Samsung Pay uses MST (magnetic strip transmission), so it sends out a magnetic strip code (of a virtual card of your credit card) when you place it over the area where you swipe your card. You can still use NFC if a terminal supports that. The only places it's not possible are where you have to insert the card in and out (like a gas station).
Not another thread turned into Apple vs Samsung
yes please
this has nothing to do with android.
it also has nothing to do with people not getting or interested in the X.
There are PLENTY of threads about those subjects.
Thank you
Apple Pay in Canada works pretty much everywhere. All thats required is tap enabled (which is practically everywhere here in Canada, and that includes gas pumps)
So Samsung doesn’t have any nfc payment advantage here where I am. (I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been unable to use Apple Pay over the course of 2-3 years)
I'd like silver but if it's not available and I have to get black that'll be fine too. It'll be in a case 95% of the time anyway.
64gb because I already use Google Photos for videos and photos and don't have a large music library. I'm also not a media file hoarder. Never keep your eggs in one basket. Don't add and subtract files over and over. Keep it fast by not filling up media you probably will never see or listen to.
Silver because the rear back is more distinctive you are holding an X. Hides fingerprints much better in white. And silver polished edges reminds me of the first three generation iPhones. My SE has the matte / dull bezels unlike the 5s. I want that bling back.

That’s exactly what it was. He bought it, decided he was going to get the iPhone X instead and was out of the return period. Definitely worked out for me since it was the exact phone I wanted. I figured since I had saved so much money it was worth getting the AppleCare+ for peace of mind. I plan on keeping the phone for two years.
You got a great deal. I feel bad for that guy, he also would have had to pay 10% of that money in ebay final value fees and another 3% on the paypal money (ends up being like a 13% tax for sellers).
I feel like i got out like a bandit.. I sold my iphone 7+ RED 128gb for $1000 (CDN) on Craigslist last month in anticipation of the X. I feel like if i waited until now I would have gotten much less considering that the market is probably flooded with people trying to sell their iphones to defray some of the cost of the X. Because i was able to sell my phone for so much (which i got for free through carrier subsidy), the iphone X will only cost me $490 CDN out of pocket.
[doublepost=1508680332][/doublepost]Going with Silver 64 GB, dont need that much storage space and after having had black and red iphones, im ready for my first silver/white iphone.
White rear just looks cleaner in most lighting. I had the white iPod video and very silver Pixel before. Rarely did I have to wipe down the front iPod or back rear of the Pixel. The matte metal of the Pixel showed more dirt than the upper white glass back.
I personally don't care about the band around it if it nicks or scratches easily. I never really cared when I had the first iPhone or HTC One M7. I'm more OCD with fingerprints for some reason even though you can't remove scratches as easily as smudges .
The Pixel had a band around it and I never looked for scratches on it. Looked flawless when I sold it. It's the 64gb / silver X, no hesitation. Never need anything higher than 32gb storage again thanks to Google Photos.
My music collection will never double in size. Just stream music or watch the music video on YouTube. In the future, gaming will be streaming only since everyone will always be connected online by the next decade. Large physical storage will go away like physical media.
Yeah, only $150 more to buy 4x more physical storage. But Google Photos is UNLIMITED for high quality and FREE. 64gb is at least 4x higher than the pathetic 16gb they most recently kept for the 6s and last year's SE. I have 2TB of videos and I have no time to hoard every single one of them on any of my phones.
Truly curious what spec people are looking to get. Since 64 gigs isn't enough for me I'll be forced to get the 256 model. As for color, I go back and forth every year since the 3g to get a fresh feel for the device and I decided I'll keep that going. So it's white for me.
