I've been on the Verizon site 3 times today; at the last minute I close the browser. My 6 has 256gig and works great. I think I'll wait til the 8s. * * Translation - I'll be posting a pic of my 8 sometimes in the next few weeks.

Same here with ATT...I currently have a 7 but really want a larger phone but I am not 100#% sold on X. Not a fan of the black thingy at top of screen and facial rec/no touch ID plus I have a feeling there will be bugs and dont want to be stuck with it for 2 years. I might do an 8 plus and stay on one year upgrade cycle then get the "new" design next year after they fixed the shit no one liked | |||

Full specifications for iPhone X: https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/specs/ I really like that big, sharp screen in a phone that's not too big. Serious about crackers | |||

As do I but that notch thing is way too annoying if you want to watch video full screen...I have to believe Apple will change that next Sept | |||

Pretty sure you can double tap to fit just like the Galaxy S8. | |||

I think you can also but then it reduces vide slightly so the viewable screen is smaller. | |||

Just upgraded both my 6 and my wifes 5S to the Iphone 8. I went in with the intention of getting the 7, but Sprint gave me 50% off the lease amount for each line. So month to month will be cheaper but if I want to buy these things after 18 months its gonna sting. Might just keep doing the upgrade thing every 18 months. My company gets a 22% discount through sprint anyways so my bill for 2 lines and unlimited everything isnt too shabby. One point of concern in regards to durability of the 8... this glass backing construction for wireless charging. I doubt Ill ever need to take advantage of that feature as I have no intention of paying 60 bucks for the equipment, so Id say I would prefer the old aluminum back (not like I have a choice). I guess with a sturdy case it should be irrelevant. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

^^That was also my concern with the 8. You would have thought Apple learned its lesson with the all-glass iPhone 4, but I guess if you have to have wireless charging.... I suppose its not an issue if you plan on casing it all the time like I do. While we're on the subject, does anyone know if an iPhone 7 case will fit an 8? The outside dimensions are almost identical. | |||

So some manufacturers are saying their Iphone 7 cases are compatible with the 8 because the dimensions are so similar, but If the original fit is extremely tight then you might have an issue. Magpul field cases for the 7 should be ok for the 8. My phones and cases should be here early next week so Ill let you know. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

Thank you. Yep, I am currently using a Magpul for my 7. | |||

Still not sure if I am going 8 or X...right now I am leaning towards 8 plus and then upgrade in a year when the revised "X" comes out and they hopefully get rid of that god awful black bar. As for the wireless charging, I have no intention of buying a mat but I am starting to see them in places like coffee shops for public use | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Will wireless charging work if the phone is cased? | |||

As long as the case is not metal, and the thickness of the case is not too great for the strength of the charger. | |||

It's the non-standard aspect ratio. Unless you're watching a movie or clip with a 2.40:1 aspect ration, you're either going to get black bars or the outer edges will get cropped out. However, it's a lot easier to use the phone compared to the 16:9 iPhone Plus. One thing that bothers me about the X is that it's the same brightness as the 7/8/8 Plus and half the brightness of the Galaxy S8 or Note 8.If you have issues seeing iPhone screens in bright daylight, you're going to have the same issue with the X. | |||

I was just reading about that on another board. I am usually an "early adapter" and geek out over the latest and greatest from Apple but I am just not that excited about the X. The more I read the more I think I am going to upgrade to the 8+ for now (from a standard 7) as my 50 y/o eyes need more real estate. It is sounding like there are supply chain issues and the wait could be pretty bad for the X unless your are online the moment they go on sale and I wont be. Beyond that I am hoping that in the coming year the bring the OLED up to par with Samsung, get rid of the stupid notch and bring some kind of touch ID option back | |||

Any thoughts on the watch? I'm going to keep my 6s for a while longer, but am seriously considering upgrading from first generation watch to the 3rd. Especially like the water resistance and additional functionality. To add - I don't get why folks spend all the extra money just to get the stainless steel. I've had a black aluminium since they first came out and barely a scratch on the thing...which makes me wish even more that "they'd" give something toward it for a trade-up.  ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I'm gonna hold out until I can get a really crappy trade in price for my 7+, making me just give it to one of my nieces in lieu of a birthday/xmas gift. I'm not sure I need anything this doesn't do. I'll give my review of the iPhone X just as soon as I break down and buy one. ___________________________ He looked like an accountant or a serial-killer type.

I am definitely getting the X. Larger screen smaller footprint. Currently have the 6S plus so I will wait until all the craziness dies down around January. For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm | |||

Do not want, a burn in OLED screen and iffy facial recognition. OLED is not yet a mature technology. TouchID works, and works well. I just upgraded from a 6s to an 8+, and will stick with that until they work out the bugs in the new tech. My 6s will soon be for sale here. | |||
