The unlocked phones go faster... if you're paying cash outright, then they're all technically "unlocked" and you should check the language on the Apple site for phones where you paid full cash as I think it refers to those as unlocked.

The best way to score a new iPhone X is to go to a glass cube Apple Store.
Nothing beyond the odd Christmas card and a voucher for a free TextBlade Magnetic Keyboard.
Seems like the biggest thing people talk about is the price. So that'll stifle sales of the X. And then the fact the X exists will stifle sales of the 8.
Note to anyone thinking of an iPhone X - Your content will appear smaller than it does on your iPhone 6+ or 7+. The iPhone X screen is dimensionally narrower in width when holding it upright while it is longer due to the removal of bezels. This allows Apple to advertise the screen as 5.8" diagonal, but content size will be restricted by the width of the display. It's also not a true 5.8", since video playback size will need to be reduced in order to avoid cropping or having the dreaded "notch" interfere with your playback.
Overall I'd say the iPhone X is sexy, but in some ways it's a step backward. I would be standing in line if the iPhone X had the same screen width as the iPhone 7+, plus the added vertical screen real estate, but sadly that is not what we got. We basically got something slightly larger than a non-plus iPhone with a taller screen that is not fully usable.

Excellent, that's what I'll do then. Order at 3am AND visit an Apple Store at opening time. If I can buy one in person then I cancel the preorder.
I don't know about iStockNow...I just checked and they report that the iPhone X is now available, lol.
I believe for iPhone X you cannot buy carrier free iPhone , right now you don't have an option for iPhone X on the site but works with iPhone 8
Yes people will buy on emotion and the 'cool' factor
You are right but nobody cares. Your wicked plan to deter some of us will not work. We want our talking poops and unicorns! Sorry, we will still be stumbling to our Apple Store Apps at 3:00 am Eastern playing the Apple Store App like a video game. (I'm just joking around with you, by the way. Humor doesn't always convey over the internet so I thought I'd best spell it out).
Actually if my husband's fumbling around on the iPad to buy our watches this morning is any indication, we won't be seeing our iPhone X phones until June. We don't pop up wide awake in the middle of the night like we used to when we were tending an infant.
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.
It's so comfortable in the backseat criticizing someone whom you don't even know, or the full circumstances of the situation.
Well if it takes to long to get I will just skip it and get the XS, probably have plenty of those to go around.
Ya, because don't want text wrapping around notch. Don't want borders on homepage but okay in landscape. More screen but can't use ??? At least make the borders black.
I'm trading in my 6 for the 8+ I just ordered! Its time!
I was going to wait for the X but figured that it might be 5 months before I get one so said what the
Heck and ordered the 8+..just hope it doesn't end up being to big ;(
Also the 8's are tried and true technologies so I may end up getting the Xs next year.
I got the watch 3 too, should be fun!
Yep, if folks want the X, they'll get it. I personally think it is way overpriced for what it has and how little it is really different from the 8. But as an example, the 8 is $29.12 / month and the X is $41.62 / month on Verizon. Most folks who can afford a new smartphone can afford an extra $12.50 / month to have the latest and greatest if they so desire. I'm not crazy about the design myself. I'll either keep my 7 or maybe get an 8.
Whoohoo! Enjoy! Gotta say I *love* my Series 2. I suspect you'll be very pleased with the 8+ for a few years (save yourself the cash for something else, eh?).
At $799 (8+) vs $999 (X), the price difference is not material. It's simply product segmentation and personal preference. Recent updates have been pretty transparent that the higher cost is related to supply chain bottle necks, e.g., OLED supply/cost.
It's a waste of screen space! They could have done something much better about this. This is half-assed.
I've not got a LinkedIn profile does that mean I've never had a job??
He used to work for Digitimes so he definitely isn't in his first job and he's well connected enough to predict most of what Apple does hardware wise these days and is about 95% accurate.
