Going to cancel my order. I can't justify financing $1500(XS/256GB/One monthly early payment on my 8) all for a bigger OLED screen when IOS 12 is running great on my 8. They're out of their minds on pricing with the XS. Besides I spend too much time on my phone anyway.

Well, thanks for letting us know here.
So...... if my order still stays in progress with no UPS tracking through my choice or reference - is there just a chance that they havn't updated yet or could it be delayed?
PLEASE PLEASE read. For everyone new to preordering or in general pleas take a look at this from last year. There will be more than one plane that ships the iPhones from China. Also I can say that once the phones gets to Kentucky, they won’t leave until every plane that has iPhones has arrived. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ispatch-thread.2066175/page-282#post-25353055
I had to really think about it myself but decided to pull the trigger because of screen size
Yeah, me too. I already have the X from last year but the larger screen pulled me in.
Pretty weird. I just logged onto the desktop site and it still only offers stupid UPS Stores. Guess I'll just wait it out. Delivery in my neighborhood is always late, like 4-5pm, and I know the backup/restore process to the new phone takes like 5 hours (I have a TON of apps). Bleh.
I pick mine up before work so I got 9 hours setting up that’s much better then actually working lol
Whoa... that's... an option? I'll go poking around in the settings then. I just do the normal sync/backup to iTunes once a week or so, then when I get a new phone I do the restore from backup - but last year took 5 hours.
Two problems with that. One, the latest versions of iTunes don't allow that anymore and two, you lose the ability of partial installs to save space. That is, you get the full app, not the slimmed down version, as desktop restores put all the app modules on board, including the unneeded iPad parts.
I’m switching from the 7 so the screen do XS will definitely seem bigger. Some friends have the 8+ , it looks great but too big for me. But never say never ..maybe in a couple of years I’ll say the exact opposite !
You aren't alone in thinking that. I have a 7 Plus that works just fine and I did think about cancelling my order. But I kind of want the upgrade, I was going to go for the XS Max but too much money for me so I ordered a similar model to the one you ordered.
