Tomorrow can't come soon enough. I used my wife's upgrade for some reason. I hope it's as simple as popping in my sim card and I'm good to go on AT&T. It's the same account.

Heading to the Apple Store tomorrow morning at 9am for my XS preorder window, and kind of wishing I had preordered a Watch, too. I've been planning on the iPhone for a while and have money set aside for it (first new phone since 20-frigging-14), but I got a new position at work recently and I find myself feeling a little impulse-purchasey about that watch lol

Treat yourself to something nice. Grats on the new position.

Mine is on its final leg. Next stop is the UPS Customer Center I'm grabbing it from.

Mine is still:

Anchorage, AK, United States
Departure Scan

Delivery date still says tomorrow. Expecting some overnight UPS magic.

Mine just got to local sort facility so I should have it some time tomorrow afternoon.

Now I'm just debating whether to start fresh or do an import from my s8+. Been a while since I've started with a fresh install, might give it a go and see how it feels.

For some reason the UPS agents, nor myself, have the option to hold it at the facility.... So I just have to let the delivery attempt occur.... Somewhat annoyed

That picture of the XS Max makes me almost wish I got a Max instead. But I know me, and I know I want my thumb to reach to every edge in one hand.

But still, damn, what a screen on that Max.

My phone just changed to Shipped. The tracking number doesn't work yet, and the store still says delivery will be 9/28-10/5.

Would I be a fool to assume it will get here earlier?

Mine is shipped and should be here tomorrow.

I ordered an XS Max in Silver by mistake, I wanted the Space Gray so now I'm wondering why my options are.

Probably just gonna keep it.

Also is there any consensus on best cases or deals?

So here's a question I just realized I had

My car doesn't have bluetooth. I've been using a cassette to 3.5 mm

What's my best option? A dongle/adapter?

This is a great video comparing it to the X with the HDR + how apps look on the Max version.

thank you for sharing. very in depth and shows a lot. much better than the current standard, "if you have a X, you probably dont need to upgrade. but for everyone else this a great step forward for iphones. make sure and hit the subscribe button and please like this video"

Virgin Mobile has a "Coming Soon" banner on their site now. I'm gonna be checking the site all the time until they let me order it just because I know how fast iPhones sell out there. (By the time I got my 7+ it was literally the only version left. 32GB black. I wanted to go higher storage and get the Jet color at the time but it was all they had left.)
