Good breakdown. I have the 6 and am ready for some of the new features
I'm going for the X because of the bigger screen in the smaller form factor. I don't think I'd like the Plus.
Got a tip for us?

Years into the making, and Timmy still couldn't secure a successful launch. I wouldn't expect anything less from the guy who was brought in to Apple by SJ for his expertise in operations.
But when Cook was promoted Apple lost their COO genius since a CEO isn't directly involved in logistics. At least he shouldn't be if he's doing the job of a tech CEO. A company dependent upon innovation is in my view not best served by a CEO who's a logistics expert.
Don't you want iphone "XL?"Even more reason to wait until the 2018 iPhone X. I'm expecting my iPhone 8 in a couple weeks
I actually think this X is the "The New iPad" of iPhones. A "stop gap" if you will.
No, that's not about it. It also offers:
Augemented reality
A11 Bionic chip
Tru-Tone display
OLED/HDR display
Wireless charging
Glass backing
Portrait Mode lighting
Upgraded Camera with Dual OIS
Stainless steel
Better battery (Two hours added over iPhone 7)
What something is worth is only valued by what the consumer appreciates. So that's completely variable.

Apple products never used to be about specs. They used to care about user experience.
Yea. People will get later dates but track the planes and get it Saturday or earlier than Apple says. As usual.
I'm not going to complain about something that may not even happen.Years into the making, and Timmy still couldn't secure a successful launch. I wouldn't expect anything less from the guy who was brought in to Apple by SJ for his expertise in operations.
And the two things are mutually exclusive... how?
At any rate, both specs and user experience are different.
Pre-order. The Apple.com website always reappears about 7-10 minutes after the 12:01a.m. time so best to use the Apple Store App on your phone. Also, have your carrier website open as well as ATT and the others are known to jump the gun a bit and start accepting orders around 11:50p.m. The past three times I ordered a new iPhone I ended up doing so via ATT as it opened sooner and was less congested. And finally, say a prayer
There were already plenty of rumors about it, and it makes sense to have one event for all 2017 iPhones, among other reasons (give developers a chance to optimize for it, not have to strip the info from iOS 11 GM builds)
I think going from ~65% screen to body size ratio to 83% is caring about user experience.
Yeah... I feel like it was in late April/early May. My kids got me one for Mother's Day that year and I handed down my other iPhone 4 to someone... my husband? Yeah... he took it and gave middle son his 3GS.
My Guess to build up Hype for it and some kind of marketing tactic.
Shipping times will just say “Better luck next year ”.October 27th is gonna be a massive ''slaughter'' for the tens of millions of people around the world trying to get that iPhone X in the same minute
If you order 5 minutes after the pre order starts, you'll get a confirmation email some what later with your shipping times '' April 22th-29th 2018"
I think the silver one is going to be the most popular. Sooooo, I'm going to order the space gray. I like the silver a little better, but, I'm just going to slap a case on it, anyway.I really wish there was an iPhone X in Gold, so all the people who lose it for a new color could fight over them while I quietly buy a silver one.
Preorder, hands down.
You'll want the App Store app open on your iPhone, any iPads you have, etc.
Whichever pops up first as open for you (you'll need to refresh the app) is the one you jump on. This is the fastest method. Favorite the one you want. Go straight to it, order, hope you get launch day delivery.

Thanks! Sounds like I should use the carrier site on my phone and the Apple Store on my iPad.
Is anyone truly surprised? Years to prepare and a man who is supposedly a logistical genius and we get squat every time a new product comes out. I would rather they delay an announcement to build up stock than to do things this way. Under promise and over deliver. It’s retail 101.
I thought of it. Really, I'll take whatever they have that'll ship to me the fastest.
I have a Jet Black 7 plus right now, and after years of white-face phones, I swore I'd never buy another silver, gold, rose gold, etc.
But, this phone has a black front, so who cares if it's silver or space gray? I mean, silver is my sentimental fave (looks more "classic Apple") but I will not be upset if I need to go with space gray. It'll still operate the same way.
Regardless of screen size, the notch in the top of the screen tells me they don't care.
eBay. I’ll have one on there for the extremely low price of $4999
