I see, but I'm sure there will be plenty well under $3k that the overseas rich ppl would snap up. Or else we (as in us scalpers/potential scalpers) will end up relying on only foreign buyers to buy up the phones we're flipping

It was a nice day dream to think about it selling for $3000 but that lasted 5 seconds, I will be happy with anything over $1600 (bc that covers cost of mine)

Will pre-orders/shipping dates be pushed to mid 2018 within seconds or minutes? (I know it's either minutes or seconds, but I'm trying to figure out how many devices to use. I have 3 iPads + my Phone to use for this so I figure one will get through maybe.)

I know. They will be doing the same thing as me just with one phone instead of the 2 or 3 I can get my hands on.

Might consider having a wired connection to order also, just in case. Cover all bases

There will most certainly be eBay auctions for $3000, but as far as regular scalper prices I seriously doubt the top-of-the-line model will carry a $750 premium for more than 1 to 2 weeks.

The Apple website has been known to crash and the store app has been the best bet in past years.

You are talking about the 256GB model right?

It's hard to say because of all the different reports circling around... But If I had to guess I would say it slips in to Late November - December within seconds and slips in to Jan to March 2018 within minutes... remeber they have to set aside inventory for Apple stores and carrier stores as well.

What time is the pre-order supposed to go live online? 12:01 Oct 27? Or is it a 3:00 AM type thing...
Click to expand...

If it is like the 8, preorders went live at 2am CDT. Since daylight savings time doesn't end until November 5, it may possibly be the same time

Seriously?! People would pay that?

rich people paying 5000$ for a meal wouldn't bat an eye at it

I don't look up anyone's tag line. I don't care to.

My stance was just that if he wanted to know what scalpers are charging...go to eBay, CL, and similar sites.

Asking us here is not the optimal route.

That's all. :)

You know its coming. Was the first thing I thought of when I heard "limited numbers".

Let’s see how limited it is

We can’t predict numbers but if USA gets bulk of the shipments prices will be high since those overseas will want them BADLY

In India, prior to Indian launch, USD 2000-4000 has been the norm for iPhones like iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black etc.

Why would anyone pay 2000-4000 for a phone that is going to be old in a year? Its just irrational
