    Anyone considering going from XS to 11?

    Oh, I don’t! Sorry. I used the “” marks because I’ve read elsewhere where people referred to it as such. I’m excited about the 11! :)

    Anyone considering going from XS to 11?

    I’m sure this will come up repeatedly, but anyone considering making that switch? I always do the upgrade program, so I’m looking at a $20 per month savings, plus color options that I won’t have with the Pro. The Max is not even in the running, simply too large. Just wondering if anyone else...

    Talk me into the 8 Plus

    For what it's worth, my 8+ fits into any pocket I have/wear, just as my 6 did. No issues at all. Handbags might be a little different, like if they have built in "cell phone pockets" or something, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Those smaller pockets are perfect for keys and chapstick, and...

    Scratches already

    Mine has a really deep scratch. I can feel it with my nail. Buuuuut, I dropped it. Story of my life. I drop it daily. Doesn't matter what type of case I have it in, it hits the ground on the regular. <eyeroll> Having said that, I do have AppleCare so I will just deal with it until I can't any...

    The colors

    This photo doesn't do it any justice, but I was trying to get a shot that compares... From top to bottom, gold 6, gold 8+, rose gold 7+. There are other photos of the back of the new gold floating around. It's lovely, really. Better than I was expecting!

    Getting an 8+ -- Why not the X?

    THIS! This is a great answer, and I feel the same. The X looks cool. But I really like the home button. It has never bothered me, and I feel like you, that my 8+ is now "the last of its kind," lol. I had a 128gb 7+ and there was NO way I wanted to make 64gb work. So, I got 256gb 8+ for about $5...

    iPhone 7 Plus cases should also fit iPhone 8 Plus

    I use LoopyCases and they fit my 8+. The only one I haven't tried is my Lifeproof Fré. I will say though, that I reached out to Lifeproof and they said because of how tight the cases fit, that the 7/7+ cases will NOT fit the 8/8+. Could be that they told me that to get me to buy a new one, lol...

    No delays, low sales?

    I guess it's really not sales here either (ATL area). I checked the store app and my store is sold out of everything. 8 and 8+, all colors and sizes. For AT&T, at any rate. I'm waiting on 8+ 256 Gold. :D

    No delays, low sales?

    That's awesome! Wonder if it's lower sales, more delivery orders or just better organization. OR a combo of all three, tbh. I will admit that this time last year I already had my shiny new toy. Despite the insane volume of people at the store. I opted for delivery thinking it would save me...

    Still out for delivery. :(

    No delays, low sales?

    Exactly. And now with delivery being offered for IUP buyers, seriously no reason to go to store. I mean, if you like the environment, sure. But as much as I love going to my Apple Store, I hate it on launch day. ANY product launch day, but especially iPhone launch day. It's nutso.

    Restoring

    I've restored from backup the last 3 years and it went really well. No issues and everything was set. I do iCloud backups vs iTunes backups, so my music and my iBooks and everything stay the same (I have everything on separate external drives and to add them back via iTunes would be a pain).

    Yes! My go-to comfort food is the Golden Bowl. :)

    iPhone 8 plus shipping

    Good to know, thank you! The last two years, I picked up in store (IUP). While it's only 50 miles from me, I was still excited to see a delivery option this year. I thought it would have shipped Fedex, like literally everything else I've ordered from Apple, lol.

    Official: iPhone 8 Plus Pre-Order / Waiting Room

    For what it's worth, mine is coming UPS and it says signature required. Unfortunately, I'm close to a hub, and they always hit my house on the way back for the night. So it could be late. :(
