I will probably try to sell on eBay.
I have to pay off the Apple upgrade program contract to be able to upgrade to the X.Roger---Roger Prokic-=[ this email was sent with Spark from my Apple iPhone 8 Plus w/ iOS 11.2 beta 1 ]=-

I'm going to be going to the Apple Store and buying a 8+ outright because I'm on Cricket. I'm going to go sometime in December.

Haha David so true. I really don't mind because I was torn between waiting because it is such a drastic change in the hardware. I was always an "S" model buyer. I have a 6S plus now. Didn't want to wait another year. I also am getting the 256 model as 64 just won't cut it. If the base model were 128 I would have purchased that one as I now am using about 77 Gb.

Got up early, kept refreshing the app and website. Didn't get a "load" until 3:15. Got one but have to wait 2-3 weeks. Also Apple couldn't contact the carrier so put in a reservation for me. The next day I got an email to complete the purchase. I don't mind the wait but my experience with the ordering this time around was not as efficient as in years past. Probably opening the ordering to the world didn't help!
Look forward to your reviews so I can be prepared when the beauty arrives!SueCordially,Susan Ferraglio-Genecco, DVM

We had to pre-qualify with Apple and the bank that holds the 'loan'. That went more or less ok earlier in the week. (Did require talking to 6 people, 2 with the bank and 4 with Apple because Apple didn't log something correctly when we bought my wife's phone on the upgrade plan).Set the alarm for 2:20 am (east coast). Started relaunching the Apple Store app at 3 am sharp. Took about 8 mins of retrying every 15 secs or so but suddenly there were our two older iPhones listed! A couple of clicks and now we owe apple a small fortune for the next two years!They are due to arrive on Nov. 3. Then, like explorers (who are settlers with arrows in their backs) we'll see if any problems surface with these 'latest & greatest'! As someone who has enjoyed the ride since Apple ][s, just another newest thing from Apple.More to follow when the phones arrive.On Oct 27, 2017, at 4:10 PM, kaleese.bee@gmail.com [apple-iphone] <apple-iphone@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Thought I'd share my experience of trying to purchase the new iPhone X through the Apple Store at 12:01 AM 10/27.
I was interested in purchasing the unlocked version, which you would think meant being free agent able to go with whom you chose. Anyway, I clicked on all the correct choices, including AT&T, and was asked for my phone number, zip, etc. Clicked "continue" and was rejected.
I was originally with AT&T, so my phone number is AT&T and I do want an AT&T phone. Thing is, II am no longer with AT&T as I went with another carrier a few years ago that offered more affordable rates. Because of this carrier was not one of the 4 major providers, Apple was not able to confirm the phone number and I was unable complete the purchase of the "unlocked" phone.
Now I have NO idea when I will be able to purchase the phone, it could be months. It was extremely disappointing!
Apple needs to provide a SIM free unlocked phone. Accounting to Apple Support, this would solve problems like mine.

My son-in-law is an Apple engineer. He doesn't say anything to anyone about what he does at work. Nothing. Period. By allowing his daughter access to the X, Peterson committed a major violation of his non-disclosure contract clause. He's lucky he only got fired, not sued. Violating non-disclosure in any way is no minor issue. I can't imagine any of the big tech companies like Samsung or Microsoft are any more tolerant of this kind of breach than Apple. They can't allow it to be excused for any reason. The fact that his daughter thought it was ok to use a prototype to shoot a You Tube video demonstrates how cavalier Peterson must have been about security. She should not have known he had an X in his possession, much less have been able to use it. The fact that information about the unit including what kind of sensitive information it held has been made public along with The Verge's release of info about what Peterson worked on at Apple demonstrates why NDA is a zero-tolerance issue for tech companies. It has to be.
