Well, due to all the leaks, I feel like I already have almost all the technical information about the capabilities of the new phone. So really all I'm looking forward to at this point is finding out (1) how much will it cost, (2) when can I order it, and (3) how bad the order backlog and shipping delays will be.
I'm definitely getting an X, but I'm preparing myself for a very painful ordering process. Trying to get a jet black iPhone 7 last year was a nightmare. I'm expecting 2x as bad this year.
An announcement that people who were already participating in the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program and whose phones are eligible for upgrade will.....BE ALLOWED TO PREORDER BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE!!!! Will make the people who (1) were loyal and started in the program and (2) the people who reportedly got screwed with problems last year will be satisfied.Think I’m interested to find out why they’ve decided to do the X and how the AMOLED screen differs from the LCD on the 8.

Sorry you disagree and not meant to sound like a "sense of entitlement" but it was a reply to the OP and what I would like to hear.The program is simply for your convenience, so you can easily upgrade every year without going through the process of trading in the phone at a carrier/third party store, paying off your contract and taking a new contract. It's not some sort of exclusive or loyalty program where people are supposed to get some sort of preference over others who are equally as loyal but not in the program, and I really hope Apple doesn't do this sort of thing.
People who are in iUP aren't any more loyal than rest of us who also upgrade every year but haven't joined the program. I am paying $$$ every year to get the new iPhone, doesn't make me any less loyal than those who also upgrade every year but via iUP instead of paying upfront.
The sense of entitlement of people in iUP is insane. It's a convenience program, not a loyalty program and neither Apple markets it that way.
The epic melts on Macrumors when they release the price and didn’t include XYZ feature.
Exactly what I am hoping for.Phil Schiller announcing that X comes with ProMotion display.
Yeah $1000 is a big ole psychological barrier for me too
It’s not much more than $879, but its always on the up and up. There’s gotta be somewhere I draw the line for a phone, or waiting for it to come down being older/second hand, etc.
$879? The iPhone 7 starts at $650.
