Pre-Orders for iPhone 8 Likely to Start on September 15, Shipments on September 22

have no desire to upgrade this time. my jet black 7 plus works well for me will probably keep it for another year.
 
Take my money I phone 8 plus Gold with OLED screen and 256GB been saving this upgrade excited.
 
Man, based on all these ordering horror stories in here, I consider myself lucky. I do the "go to sleep, wake up 10 minutes before store opens" thing, too. This will be my fourth time in a row pre-ordering, and the previous three all ended up with me getting my new phone delivered on launch day. Genuinely sorry to you all who weren't so lucky.
 
I'm not too sure pre orders for the iphone 8 will start on the 15th as isn't that the day note 8 is actually launched ? i suppose it would be a good way to blow that news out of the headlines so i wouldn't be surprised to see it happening though it would niggle samsung for sure lol.
I'm in the fortunate place where i'm getting both the samsung note 8 and the iphone 8 so i'll be able to play with the note while waiting for the iphone 8. Hopefully it won't be a long delay between pre orders and delivery.

I don't see Apple being bothered by Samsung, Apple already know that the iPhone 8 is likely to outsell anything Samsung has on the market including the Note 8, in fact Apple probably already know that Samsung plan to launch the Note 8 on that very same day and aren't bothered.

Does this mean people new phones will be received September 22nd or are they going out for shipment September 22nd.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

If it's anything like previous years, it means shipments received on September 22nd.

wait, what?
you're going to stay awake until 5am in order to see people staying awake until 5am to order a phone? then also watch people standing in line for a week?

idk, sounds like you might be better off doing your own thing and ignore what others are doing in regards to this.
imo

I was being sarcastic...
 
My final prediction for iPhone 8 is: Edge to edge OLED screen like watch (obvious, really long battery life), waterproof (less obvious), requiring no buttons (all buttons on screen like ios11 beta), requiring no headphone/charger port, speakers and mic using water eliminating technology from apple watch, wireless headphone (using AirPod), wireless charging (using Apple watch charger), will cost more if you don't already have AirPod/Apple watch, but won't if you do (like me), not sure about SIM card slot, maybe eSIM.

lol that's a good one! :D

But if the 8 really is $1,000+, many people will surely be turned away from upgrading to it :D

Might be, but after 3 years with the same design, some people will just pay whatever to have the all new iPhone design, pretty sure it will sell like no other iPhone, the demand will be crazy and the wait times like never before.

The unwashed don't see a 1000+. All of this will be marketed by monthly pmt. Carriers might throw in a special on trading in old phone.
 
I guess I should wait until Tues. on WHAT EXACTLY is coming out??!
So..a 7S, 7S PLUS....and also the 8 (with OLED screen..blah blah)

Sorry..maybe I'm so confused from so many stories in the past 11 months.
The 7S, 7S PLUS will NOT have the full screen judging by these pics I just saw. Only the 8 ("X" model) will have full screen? Also now I read stories that no Touch ID on the 8, just facial ID. And these may not be shipped until.."Oct" another report says "December" (all speculations until confirmed)

(pictured from left to right - 7S, 8 or "X," 7S Plus)

I have the 6 Plus, (JUST installed a new battery in it last night) I love the size of it, I'm used to it. I skipped 6s..because I was still under contract, for the first time skipped 7 Plus. I'm kinda of leaning towards 7s Plus right now. A much faster phone obviously compared to my 2014 model. Force touch will be "new" for me..other featured 6 doesn't have. Also not sure how I feel about lack of finger print sensor on the new 8 - only facial ID. AND OLED with the new iPhone. Sounds like they are having problems with this technology. almost feel I should wait until they get this right before dropping a ton of money on it.

I'll be traveling to the US during that time. Anyone know the best way to preorder since I'm guessing the apple site will route me to the US store and it most likely won't let me ship to Canada.

Neither the Apple Store app nor the Apple website geolocates you. As long as you have your country set to Canada in the app or you go to apple.ca and not apple.com to order, it will be no different than if you're ordering from Canada.
