for those who have seen my posts here recently, I’ve been contemplating with many options while waiting patiently for the X’s eventual arrival. I’ve gone from my old 6S+ to an 8+ and now finally settle in on a brand new Verizon model A1661 Product Red 128GB 7+. I returned the 8+ and have been looking for a cheap yet good quality 7+, and finally found it today on Craigslist. So far so good, love the special red color and the sweet spot of the 128GB storage. I will definitely try to order an X on preorder day, so 8+ was too expensive as a stop gap phone that is not much different from a 7+ which can be bad at about 2/3 of the price. I like to own my phones, therefore would never sign up on any of those leasing programs. I think I don’t care if the X deliver late, I will just put in my order on the 27th and waiting patiently while using my new 7+.
