OLED iPhone 8 Rumored to Ship Sometime After Standard iPhone 7s Models

This and your other post on page 5 is spot on. All these people here getting upset over rumors and have no idea what sourcing and manufacturing consist of. I am so tired of reading the Apple is intentionally doing this or that. People getting upset over rumored pricing that has changed at least 10 times now. I am going to go on record and say this and your other post are the smartest replies I have ever read here on macrumors. Bravo to you for using your head and thinking logically. There are so few of us.
I think many are overhyping the issues with this release. Sure if the OLED phone is not available I'd be sad. But I'm evacuating from Irma tomorrow so that I don't die, so I think prospective might be in order. It will come out when it does. As for the price, it will I'd expect start at $969-999 (in that $30 range- I don't care where it falls in that range), I have a 7+128GB now so it was a $869 phone. So if the OLED phone is $100 (or maybe $200 if you want more memory) more is that the end of the world? There is a 7+ 256GB at $969 today and I don't see people thinking the world has come to an end. So maybe it's just the hurricane, that has put me in a reflective mood, but it just doesn't seem that any of this is such a big deal.

I'm curious if these rumors are indeed true how many people they will lose.
Between my phones, iPads, watches, tv and macs in too invested. I love the look of the new galaxies but it doesn't make sense for me to go anywhere
Definition of rumor
- 1: talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source
- 2: a statement or report current without known authority for its truth
- 3archaic : talk or report of a notable person or event
Apple just needs to bump up their cycle for the entire development, sourcing, manufacturing, etc. for all future iPhone releases if they are not doing this on purpose.
We haven't had enough supply for years.

Apple is headed for the same exit Microsoft took from the phone biz. Too many promises. Not enough thinking inside the box.
I'll gladly purchase one of the IPS iPhones, so long as it has a refreshed design and a glass back.
No glass back, no sale. I'll just stick it out another year on this 6S.

Actually, that did sort of happen to me. I was supposed to have a baby in mid September of '04 and the little stinker confounded the doctors by arriving half a day before I was due to be induced, in early October. I was meanwhile given several interim estimates after the original due date came and went and endured several instances of false labor throughout September. No, Tim Cook was not the father.
The kid is thin, though, so I may look into suing Jony Ive for paternity.

Still persisting with the 7s moniker? I'm guessing they've landed on a different naming scheme.
Everyone who isn't ready to spend an extra $350 on a phone... The 8 is obviously going to be more expensive, and it's unlikely to have features the 7s/7s+ won't have, so you can get a more familiar form factor with an LCD with most of the cool new features of the 8. Besides, the 7s just might be more stable overall.
Sort of. Iphone 7 kind of upended this. It really was more of an iPhone 6SS/6SS Plus since it was a refinement of the 6 and 6 Plus body style.
I had hoped to get an iPhone 8/IPhone Edition or whatever the OLED one is to be called. But I am really uncomfortable about the sheer newness of the design. I may chicken out and get the Plus version of the LCD phone if they give it stereo audio recording capability. If they don't, I probably will hang onto my 7 Plus another year, if the radical new design is reported to have problems.
I did... just like to see what the Apple guys are thinking as I read all the comments! It's a phone people...
Or maybe iMessage, the convenience to have all your messages go to every device including your computer.....that alone is worth it to me not to use Android full time.

BAM
That's my only issue. I have kids with iPads and that's how they contact the wife and I if we leave them alone for dinner etc
I just hope that with the smaller antenna lines that there isn't an reduction in cell phone reception and call clarity because that would really sucks at these prices.
$200 can go a long way toward other things. Like AirPods for example.

What’s the point of Chinese slave labor if you can’t meet launch dates.
If you are gonna be late and charge 1000 dollars. You should arrive with Apple Pencil support and a larger screen for making people wait for such a expensive device with a limited feature set.
SMH, it's much more useful than AR gimmicks and Face ID. I think most Apple fans would choose pencil support over Face ID or AR unsurprisingly.
This is why the Note 8 remains in a league of it's own.

The 7 Plus has 3GB of RAM, so the 7S Plus will have at least 3 too.
Last year, I sent an email to Tim Cook explaining my disappointment as an iPhone Upgrade Program member. With almost no notice, I found that to upgrade the I was require to go to an Apple Store, although the nearest was a couple hours from me. I expressed my concern and idea that the flagship program should allow upgrade by mail, in a similar fashion to Express Repair. Take my credit card number and put a hold for the full amount until you receive my old phone (within 10 days). Provide clear guidance on what scratchess/damage is acceptable or unnaceptable and might require additional charges, just like what would happen at the Apple Store. I got a call back from a senior assistant that took my concerns via phone.
Let's hope it's changed this year. At this point, it might be took late, but submit similar feedback at https://www.apple.com/feedback/ if you want this too. Also, express concerns with any possible delays and adaptation at the program.
