When will apple start manufacturing the 8?

[maxsix]

My iPhone 7 is like every single iPhone I have ever owned perfect. It wasn't faulty batteries that caused the piece of Korean **** to explode otherwise it would have been fixed by the replacements. It wasn't. It also was rushed through when it clearly wasn't ready.

Your obsession with Samsung must be making you feel better about your iPhone. Constantly bringing it up must be quite satisfying. It does seem like lots of iPhone 7 owners enjoy bashing Samsung. It'll be interesting to see how many months it takes to get over it.

SO Im seeing that people are saying WEEK 41 is a mark for fixing the buzz sound.... Week 40 is the first week of October and it IS October... Does that mean Apple will Start building the 8 Sometime in. January?

When does iPhone turn 10?

Maybe we can just agree this launch was worse/more poorly planned than even their poor launches in history.

Apple did exactly what they had planned. Creating an illusion of shortages and leading customers on to believe that they were sold out... is a game Apple plays like a pro. Each year they get better and better, no ones as good as Apple with marketing strategies.

The iPhone will turn 10 years old on June 29th 2017. It would be awesome if apple released the phone then on the actual anniversary but they would have a lot of disappointed IUP people. So maybe they will give us a sneak peak at what's in store for September!

I wouldn't mind if I came out in June I would be thrilled happy birthday to me and iPhone lol.

iPhone released in 2007
10 years old in 2017
iPhone 7 the 10-year ann.. oh wait, we already have 7.

Yeah, 8 - redesign, a surprise redesign of iOS 11.

i am all for it, why not!

It will probably be .. touch the screen, and you are signed into MUSIC, and have to click out of it first, then asks if you want to use home or car kit, and we have to cancel out, to get to our apps, which are auto grouped, because.. simplicity.

And iMsg is now part of FaceTime, like Periscope etc, so we can get hearts flowing on the screen when we talk to our friends. and stickers.

But fingers crossed, and we will be impressed

I fear your right but after this many launches the whole game is ignorant. So many people got screwed on this launch it wasn't even funny. People walking into stores picking up desired phone before all pre orders has been shipped is just ludicrous. Apple needs to launch a different avenue every week instead of 900 countries at once. Launch online/pre-orders one week, move to Apple stores the next then following week move to carriers. Something to allow them to have some stock. It's just ignorant and shady AS... well yea

I have never had any issues with any Apple product ever. Wish I could say the same about Samesung, but every Samesung phone I had either were extremely laggy or constantly froze. Every single other Android manufacturer is better then Samesung,.but if you enjoy phones that blow up and use bloasted versions of crap then by all means do it.

The problem here is that they have the upgrade program which requires the phones to be bough at the store. The people on the upgrade program should have had the first models out there. PLus I dont think Apple knew going in that they were going to have a high of a fail rsate on the Jet Black models as they did. This happens every year. Its not Apples fault that nobody really lines up to buy Android models.

Here's another example of Samsung obsession. It's impossible to say anything good about an iPhone without bashing Samsung. It's as though iPhones just aren't good enough to stand on their own merit.

As @maxsix stated, Apple has a brilliant marketing strategy. This launch is no different from the Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone, the Apple Pencil, and/or any other hardware related launch. Just wait until the AirPods release. Those too will be highly constrained and sold out most likely through the holidays until 2017.

There were issues with the Apple upgrade program this year. But that doesn't mean everybody was or is disgruntled about the launch. I know many people that received the device of their choice on launch day and had no issues. Some, did have issues.

The new jet black color was obviously the most popular choice. The number of iPhones for pre-order for that color was through the roof. So it depends on how your classifying this as a poorly prepared launch. What about those who ordered the least popular colors on launch day and received their devices immediately? Does that mean that they had a poor experience or classifying this as a poor launch? So, clearly your experience may vary, depending on the color, location, how are you upgraded, and when. There are a lot of variables that affect a launch, like I stated before, some of had positive experiences, and others have not.

So no, I won't agree with you that this was a poorly prepared/poor launch. Because everyone's experience May vary and there are so many contributing factors to why or why not somebody may or may not have received their particular device they wished for on launch day.

Any individuals around me that I know that purchased their iPhone of their choice on launch day, had no issues getting the device that they wanted. I'm not speaking for everybody, just for those that I know that did not experience any issues.

Paranoid much. Just where was Samsung mentioned. Oh that's right it wasn't. Apple can stand up on their own merits. They sell more phones then just about anybody else and they don't rush the phones out because a competitor might have not a great phone coming out.

I mentioned this to Tim Cook and he told me that he'll start tomorrow.
