I just did a in store pick up at Best Buy like two hours ago
You sure? I'm pretty sure I was given the option to on a sim free version on the app.I'm still pissed - I can't get an iPhone 8. I'm on AT&T, and want to keep my options open for switching to Verizon at a later date. That means that I can't get the AT&T version of the phone, since that doesn't do CDMA.
You can't get the sim-free version of the phone AND join the Apple Upgrade program online, so I was told to try to get one from a store.. which are sold out.
In the past, I've just pre-ordered and picked up my phone on launch day, no problem. I know I'm a bit of an edge case, but Apple really dropped the ball here IMO.
It really is awesome. The little gold ring around the home button is a nice touch.Oh god the new gold color is even better in person.

non-LTE models are composite onlyFirst thing I noticed with my Apple Watch series 3 is they went back to using the composite back for some of them instead of the ceramic back like on my series 2.
Theres a surprising amount of apps that dont work on ios11 which is pretty disappointing.

Cool story? Let me find a new better app of specific licensed games. How could I have been so foolish...Dev's that haven't put the work in for iOS 11 have abandoned their apps. Move on and find a new app that does the same thing and probably better than the previous one.
Any 4k 60 videos from the 8/8+? Looking to see that low light 4k video
Slight regret not getting the Gold - super nice in person and basically looks creme - my Silver phone should have just been called White lol
Looks nicer than black tbhI dont understand how yall handle those giant white bezels.
The colors seem to reference the aluminum rail this time. A little strange.Slight regret not getting the Gold - super nice in person and basically looks creme - my Silver phone should have just been called White lol
Whoah thats cool. Didnt know about thatLoving my black 8+ so far!
The hold next to an iOS11 device activation was super nifty, I just had to put it next to my iPad, select the most recent backup of my phone and off it went!
Does anybody know if fast charging works when connected to a MacBook Pro via USB -C?
Now comes the eternal struggle where I use my fresh device without a case and want to be team naked. Sigh. Feels so good without a case.
No point yet. They havent updated them to do wireless fast charge yet as far as Ive read. Coming with a software update sometime this season.Anyone did any wireless charging testing yet?
played with the 8, looked at my jet black 7 thought to myself it's just Malibu Stacy with a new hat.
Im going caseless on this model and any future models with a glass back. Feels sooooooo good, and the glass gives it way more grip than the aluminum did
Keep in mind that Qi fast charging doesnt come to iPhone until a later update during this season. So at this moment, iphone doesnt support fast wireless charging, only fast USB C.
To be clear, it doesnt support the new Qi 3.0 (though it may be smart to get a charger that does so you can hang onto it next year), but it is faster than the original Qi 5W. Currently iPhone 8 & X ship at the 5W old speed that IKEA pads use for example, but they are getting an update to enable them to do 7.5W (faster than the standard charger Apple includes). http://bgr.com/2017/09/19/iphone-8-vs-iphone-x-fast-wireless-charging/Can you point me to info about the fast wireless update? I hadnt heard the iPhones would accept anything more than the 7.5w wirelessly.
