Not maybe thinking about X? For me it’s too much. 13” MacBook Pro or iPhone X 256?

With att next your looking at about $68 a month. Plus when will the phone come? Maybe January? February? Then you’ve got 8 or 9 months till September and iPhone XI. Sorry about being harsh, but it might end up like that. I was thinking about the AirPods delay.

Both.. LOL.

Well I shouldn’t talk myself. I’ve got the new 15” MacBook Pro, iPhone 7 Plus and just about two weeks ago I got the 10.5” iPad Pro. Now my att wireless bill is about $450 a month. If it wasn’t dropping about $100 in the next two months I might have to take the iPad back. It’s not getting a lot of use yet.

I was going to stick with my iPhone 7, but my wife has her own personal "bend-gate" with my old iPhone 6 and the glass is bending out of the bezel. So not sure how much longer that will last. I have been wanting the iPhone X, but the price, added apple care cost, the notch and the facial made me change my mind. Being I wanted a better camera (for obvious reasons) and a bigger screen the 8+ was the logical choice. I could get it at pre-order, under 1K, and still have my Touch ID. Win-Win (except for the fact that I am still out about $1050 after tax of course)

And that’s exactly who the 8 Plus is made for, those of us that still want the Touch ID and that don’t care for the higher price tag. That’s why we see Touch ID as being a feature on the product page. That’s good for Apple that they didn’t just release the one phone, or that would have made a lot of people upset.

Congrats on your iPad Pro!

2nd. 512 GB. Will be handy for all of my digital movies on the truck.

For sure!
It’s a beast.

 

[Abu Khadija]

I had the 1st gen and even that was almost a beast too.

You are set with a good machine for a long time my friend, I got the same size and gen. but I wish I got the higher capacity now that I’m using it for DJing and developing RAW photos through Affinity Photo. I am so impressed with it, possibly more than the iPhone.

I was going to get an 8 until I learned it will split open when I charge it. I'll keep my 6 for another year

I never heard the iPhone 8 will split apart when you charge it. Where did you hear that? Sounds like BS.

I think I saw it on the Internet, so obviously it will happen to all of us.

 

[Abu Khadija]

What? Because of the glass?

I'll keep checking for splitting at the seams

That’s very true.
My iPP 12.9” 1st gen is almost two years old and it’s still performing really well.
