Official Apple 9/12/17 Event Thread (iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, LTE Apple Watch, 4k Apple Tv)

Some were saying the 8 is going to outsell the X. If it happens it's only going to be due to availability. I just checked and I can still get the 8 plus delivered 1st day if I preorder. That does not happen 5 hours after preorders go live. I'm expecting the demand for the X to be crazy.

All Apple phone releases have been this way the past couple of years

The days of phones selling out first day are over

Nothing like having a friend that works at Apple. Got 25 percent off my iPhone 8

No it hasn't. Prior to this year the I've preordered the last 4 interations, skipping only the 5S. The preorders all went on backorder in less than an hour.

This ain't true and I'm typing this from a 7 that was pre ordered 3 days after the initial date right now

Same with the 6s

Fingerprint Scanner on the back center like LG and the pixel does it is the goat location. if you're too lazy to pick up your phone off the table for a second.

Man this is smart dumb nikka shyt. Who the fukk out here getting arrested like that where this is even a thought?

 

[Krazy]

They can the same with TouchID so now what?

If you're that paranoid, stick to a Pass code.

Or dont get your ass arrested, and if you feel you are about to use the implemented methods to quickly disable the biometric features by holding down the buttons on both sides for a few seconds.

Is it worth upgrading from 7 Plus to 8 plus? Not really feeling the X....so I would either get the 8 Plus if worth it or just keep my 7 Plus for another year

hell no
