I am just running my business and out in the field more and more and my iPhone and the ability to use it without thinking is important to me. I could do the same with retraining on Android, just do not wish to do so.

How does the 10th Anniversary iPhone timing sneak up on Apple. Sounded like last minute changes/problems which lead to production problems. Seems poorly managed.
I understand. We are all different. My wife doesn't like having to think about tech either and I work with a lot of people that are very much that way. One of the reasons I've always been accused of not being "normal" or just "weird", because I at least want the concept of what's happening even if I do not have the details.
If my life was different in significant ways I'd probably be the same (maybe).
Even though I'm not buying, I hope many people the X but I also hope Apple executes it well with no X-gate scandals. The road to the trillion dollar company is paved in

Negative. The complete opposite, most people are getting the X still even as much as people are putting down the X. That preorder will be a cluster F.
I think the iPhone X will do very well in China and some Asian countries. It will become an aspiration item for status. Most people in developing countries may not be able to afford the higher price target. I suspect some women who used to go for the non + size will now go for the X because of the size factor. I was surprised when my wife who has never taken a + size said she wants the X. So I will be ordering 2 iPhone X's. I do hope those who can't wait go for iPhone 8, so the backlog for X might not take too long. Can one buy 2 phones in a single transaction? Or would I need to do one at a time. I am on T-mobile, and I always buy direct through Apple web site.
Exactly. I’m personally not interested as of now, but anyone who thinks this phone won’t be high-demand/hard-to-get is nuts.
Got your back there. This year and for the foreseeable future.
Android for me in 2018.
I tried Android once......never again
I tried it out with my jailbroken 5 once. Didn't care for it. Had two Android LG crap tablets in 2015 and it was a little better.
My main issue with Android is the GUI and icons as well as the fact that they have a 1001 ways to do the same thing. The GUI and icons seem to have improved in the last year to me and there are a few features I've liked when using my daughter's LG crap tablet.
Overall, I prefer iOS, especially when jailbroken but Apple's not selling a phone I want right now so that's the decision I have to make.

No guarantee about that.
Just like price. Is this the baseline price going forward ? Goes up from here ?
I doubt that. They are seeing how much backlash they are getting with the X. I don't think most of us are getting on the design aspect of it, just realizing it's not as wow as people are making it out to be. The design is fine minus the hideous notch and gaudy bezels
Can't say yet if I will or will not buy. For the first time I'm glad I'm in the 2nd wave release country so there will be plenty test bunnies to report back and make it possible to decide if *gate is worth gambling on.
Yeah, there was a new production delay issue. I read it but forgot what it was. I, tend to ‘not obsess ‘ over those reports. Whatever happens, happens. There are things in life you have no control over so choose to wait patiently or bail.
When I get it, I get it 2017, 2018 . . . Next iPhone release

Other than the very first iPhone (that one doesn’t count) it will be the first time I’ve opted for a 1st generation iPhone as well. I’ll be going from an iPhone 6S plus to the X. Fastening my seatbelt as it’s going to be a bumpy, and probably a long, ride. I don’t have any concern about it as I’ve always jumped on the 1st generation train with other devices on a regular basis.

Ah, I remember that. I still have the first Apple Watch, and it keeps on ticking. I had to wait a while on my pre order but didn’t mind the wait. Often the anticipation is is much fun as having the new toy in your hands.
iPhone x is all yours. I am not paying $1500 to take phone calls, send some messages and use safari from time to time. I have my 6s+ for that. Enjoy.
