It's about that time: Buyer's Remorse?

[MizWylie]

Cool, I have always liked the Apple OEM leather case and will order one for my new iPhone X on 10/27/2017.

I really want the dark aubergine leather for my phone. It's so pretty!

I’ll be honest, I’ve had moments. Adjusting from Android to iOS had been a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes i miss Android. That said, I’ve mostly weathered through it and I’m keeping it. Love the camera, software and Apple experience.

Not even close t having buyer’s remorse....

+1 for 0 buyer’s remorse.

While the bigger screen in smaller footprint was a big deal during the new iPhone speculation period leading up to the event, I’ve found that all I really want is the newest internals. I have them w/ the 8 Plus. Ending my work day, in an area where the signal fluctuates between 1 & 2 bars, with sometimes 70+% battery life left where my 7 Plus would be 20% less than that is amazing to me.

Thanks A11 Bionic!

I hear ya, and I’m finding that even knowing that pre-ordering is days away, I’m not even considering getting the iPhone X. That’s crazy for ‘me’....

It’s crazy for me too. I always feel the pull to get the latest and greatest iPhone, but for some reason this year, I feel like I already have it. I just feel like the X, while a nice phone, will go through some growing pains that I’d rather not go through. I’ll wait until next year.

I've had my iPhone 8 Plus for almost a week now. I was a die hard Samsung Note guy. However, I am absolutely loving this phone. No buyer's remorse for me. Oh, I'm sure that the thrill of the newness will wear off eventually, but I have not experienced anything that makes me feel any remorse at all. I love that I can sync my Macbook Pro and my fairly new iPad Pro 10.5 and my iPhone 8 Plus. It made sense for me to switch to Apple from Samsung. The only things I miss are Nova Launcher and Textra messaging app (I really loved it), but I'll get over it. LOL!

Now you know why many of us enjoy using our Apple products and services. They’re not perfect, but they’re perfect for many of us. Know what I mean?

Shazaam. Though I only use my iPad and 8 Plus in sync with one another. Laptop is still an older HP.

When I I ordered my silver 8 plus I also got a black leather case to go with it. The Apple OEM leather cases are all I use. When I got there I saw the Dark Aubergine and exchanged the Black for it immediately. It’s a great looking case and, being a huge fan of The Joker, I felt that it suited me well. Very happy with my purchase and it looks as good 3 weeks later as it did the day I bought it.

None. Nada.

I love the 8 Plus. Wasn't interested in the X for a multitude of reasons (check out the thread about it for more info).

I've had 6 Plus to 6S Plus to 7 Plus to 8 Plus and I like the familiarity and I like the phone. The fact it now has wireless charging is a big bonus, but the speed is insane, even coming from a 7 Plus.

The 8 Plus is an amazing phone and IMO holds it own against the X or other phones for those of us who like this design and like Touch ID too much to give it up to something that may or may not be as functional or responsive.

I exchanged my Note 8 for an iPhone 8 Plus and I don't regret my decision. Sure, the Note 8 had many hardware features that aren't present on the iPhone 8 Plus, but my experience with the iPhone has been much more enjoyable. I also really love the True Tone display on my phone. It looks gorgeous and makes the viewing experience much more enjoyable.

I have an iPhone 6S and i'm holding out for now

No buyers remorse here. Love my iPhone 8 plus

Just traded a Note 8 in for the 8plus. No remorse here either

Funny, last night I felt a twinge of "should I be pre-ordering the X" and it quickly passed and I went to bed. My wife would have kept the 8+ and I would have kept the X and sold our iPhone 7... but last night when I put my phone on the wireless charger before bed and turned on the sleep app and saw the battery was still at 96% at 10:30pm, I was assured my iPhone 8+ will be sticking around a while.

Same! But it didn't stop my brain from waking me up at a god awful hour this morning. I'm good not having the X. My 8 Plus is awesome, wicked fast and the battery lasts forever.

Here is my honest answer.. Sometime next year I will go look at the X when it's in store. We're moving again (that's our 5th move in 3-years) this time up to Mt. Vernon WA. I am not sure where the closest AT&T or Apple store will be, maybe about 1 hour south in Lynwood WA? Not sure.. but if I like i will just buy one from the Apple store, and give my wife my 8+ (she was happy with her 6, but she now has my 7) and we will sell the 7.. but for now I am not excited about the X for all the reasons I mentioned here at iMore in other posts, the notch, the OLED low NIPS, the Facial Rec, etc.. and the 8+ is one screaming phone. So maybe it will grab me. But I sincerely hope I can wait it out until the iPhone XI and deal with it around Sept 2018.

I did the same thing last Friday. No regrets from me either. I find the iPhone 8 Plus to be a more enjoyable experience.

I'm still getting my feet wet in iOS. I had the 6S+ for about a month during the Note 7 debacle and I liked it, but ended up going for the V20 and G6, then back to Samsung with the S8+ then Note 8. T-Mobile JoD is a bad habit lol!

So far I'm really liking iOS, especially how my work apps work much better on this than Android. The camera is excellent and I can't wait to take it out hiking this weekend to see how it compares to my favorite Android camera (LG).

Just finished up about 10 min ago restoring my new 8 plus black 64gb. Had a matte 7 plus it broke tried a note 8 for a week. I really liked it an Samsung has come a very long way in recent years but just didn’t do it for me. Love the wireless charging is great on the 8 I can tell a difference in speed from the 7 plus or least I tell my self that. But have no remorse getting the 8 instead of saving a few bucks on the 7.
