That just means you won't have access to T-Mobile's new 600mhz spectrum. You'll still get standard LTE. Almost no phones support band 71 right now, and many areas will not get 600mhz for years.

iPhone X: Who's buying?

I am leaning towards 8 plus... I have an optional line so I might change to X... but other than screen resolution and FaceId and aperture... I don't see much difference... I have had every single flagship iPhone on day one.. but X is making me think. I will get 8 plus tomorrow and will use s/o line for X
Count me in for preordering 10/27 silver iPhone X 256GB... even though $1149 is a crazy price for a cellphone... costs way more than my iPad Pro 10.5" 256GB cellular. I predict a good amount of people wanting iPhone X won't be able to get delivery until 2018.
For all of you that are extremely unhappy with the X: Please protest with your wallet. Apple does not care what you or I think otherwise. And expecting them to “relate to the people” is never going to happen. They are a for profit company. Hit their bottom line and then maybe you’ll get their attention. What I know to be true from the past that’s the most pathetic, is that a large percentage of the people complaining in here will be the first in line with their credit cards in hand. Don’t expect to see the change that everyone’s clamoring about while this is still taking place.
Happy to hear there aren't a ton of buyers.
Except that half of them will be up early in the morning on the 27th, wallet in hand...
I currently have a 6S+ that I am not exactly itching to get rid of. If I do upgrade it will be a 64GB X but I am not going to pre-order. I want to hear from real people with real world use and I would like to see one in person before dropping that kind of cash. If I do make the move it will probably be next spring because I am assuming these things will be backordered, and by then I might want to wait and see what kind of update they come up with.

They're currently in denial trying to get enough people on their side to justify their "I'm not buying" decision.
Here's the thing. I have been updating my iPhones every single year and have always enjoyed them for up to 12 months.
I even saved up to €1500 for the new iPhone X, but I'm definitely not buying a product which is already delayed for 2 months and may even be delivered in 2018! This means I have to pay €1159 for the new iPhone X and literally update to the next iPhone within 10-8 months. I guess I have to get the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus.
Bad practice Apple!

agreed...hope everyone get's their Iphone 8 and keep it moving... so i can get my iphone X smoothly
There a lot of presumption in that post.
Have to? No one is forcing you to upgrade so often. That's on you entirely.
Don't get me wrong, I love to upgrade every year
... However, this years is not working well for me due delayed release date of the iPhone X. I mean, how would you feel to pay €1159 for 10-9 months of use? (assuming you've upgraded every year and used your phone roughly round 12 months between each release)If I do order one, it would be to resell.
A 256GB iPhone X in Canada is 1529$ + taxes = 1757.97$.
Would have to resell for at least 2000$ for it to be worth my time... Not sure lol.

Well, I've upgraded slightly early once in the past. I was fine with it. It was the choice I made. If I wasn't fine with it, I wouldn't have made the choice.
Or they are really not buying it because it's extortionately overpriced. That's been the common complaint so far and the price isn't suddenly changing at launch to change that.
