Who else is grabbing the iPhone X this Friday? Hopefully no one else so I can get mine.
Mmm.. that new thread smell. Oh I wish I could do that, but I already opted to buy the iPhone 8. Been using it for awhile on the iPhone Upgrade Program and it has been delightful. Love that glass back and wireless charging.
I'm actually considering paying the $100 markup to pre-order at Best Buy to get the X outright. Really would like to keep my monthly trade-in credits from last years Verizon promo.
My iPhone is too fresh to justify jumping on the iPhone X right now but it's definitely tempting. Also I miss AJx's user tag but the avatar conveys all the murderous revenge you need.
My dad is all in on the X train. Gonna test it out once he gets it to see if I made a huge mistake with the 8+ (which I'm pretty disappointed with, coming from a 7+).
got my preapproval for iUP ready to go. I live in Silicon Valley and see one in the wild basically every day and it's driving me mad
the 6 is no longer for sale (the 6S is). The 7 is a HUGE step up in performance/etc from the 6. 7 vs 6S. is more debatable, especially if you want a headphone jack
Get the 6S if you need the headphone jack. A 7 is faster and will likely last you a little longer if you are wanting a phone to last a while. Don't get an original 6 at this point.
Funny enough, considering the 8 Plus as a stopgap till 2018's offerings
prepare your butt
Well, depending on the price, I may just grab a used 2012 hitting the market. Pretty happy with my hot-rodded '08 but would like to run a newer OS.
Yes. I have mine saved and a favourited the models I want. I will use the Apple Store app. I don't have Apple pay for my credit card though. Not supported.
Gonna try for the X here in a little more than 24 hours... glad to finally have a place to check in and obsess over preorder strategies and to all cry together when we all fail miserably ;-) Seriously though, best of luck to all, and I'm sure I'll be checking back in here!
ah correct, the 6S. I think i'm going to stay in the headphone jack world a bit longer and go with the 6S. gonna keep an eye out for one once the apple cycle completes. Thank you

There's a limit of two iPhones per account, right? I'll be getting two for my household but I want to get a couple more X models for gifts. It would make for fun studio portrait excitement altogether.
Same here. Don't think that the X is for me at all. Will keep my 7 Plus until the next version.
Speaking of Mac Pros...I really hope that they have a killer design this time around. Wasn't too fond of the last one they came up with. Also, 8k monitors please, Apple.
i have been wanting to buy a macbook pro lately bu i know intel has been rolling out 8th gen laptop cpus in windows machines. Is it worth waiting for that before i buy one?

So for those who own a MacBook can I get a bit of advice?
I purchased a rMBP in 2012 and it's the best computer I've ever owned. However it's been over 5 years. But the thing is...the son of a bitch is still running like a champ. I don't try to game on it but retro games which I'm into run fine on it. And my primary use cases are:
-Browsing
-Netflix (and chill w/ Mrs. Mammoth)
-Sublime Text
-Postman
-Charles Proxy
-Messages for texting
-iTunes for Music and Movies
But...the battery is toast. Will apple still service a MacBook from 2012 and replace the battery for a fee? Or should I not bother? Are new MacBooks so much faster that I'd hate myself for NOT upgrading? Advice is appreciated.

Will be charge. I replaced my 2011 battery last year. Full price of battery.
New MacBooks are nice, but I just wasn't ready to spend the money on the MacBook right at the moment, so battery replacement then only.
Wait so the X preorder is tomorrow at midnight?
Sheeeeeeeit, the sooner the better. I'm so ready to get more than two hours of battery life out of my phone and actually not take crummy ass pictures for once.
The space and speed will be nice too!
