BTW, the two silver 8+ phones that have shipped (our Gold one has not) show UPS Next Day Air Saver as the shipping service.

That makes it sound like a Thursday arrival. But I’ll sure UPS and Apple have put the kibosh on that.

Ordered iPhone 8 Plus 64GB Gold through JOD at 2 p.m. CST Friday. T-Mobile app shows shipped and I got a tracking number.

I’m on JOD and you can upgrade your phone every 30 days. I just got the 8 plus, upgrading my December or January.
Yes, I was answering a specific question from someone not on JOD.

There's no real known differences/benefits to Dolby Vision other than their cool little logo at this time.

Dolbyvision has some big advantages actually. https://www.whathifi.com/advice/dolby-vision-hdr-everything-you-need-to-know

Article doesn’t list any advantages. Care to highlight what you saw in that article that you thought was an advantage? They objectively compared Dolby Vision to HDR10 streams but gave no hard data to prove DV is better. It was all opinion. They then followed up by watching a UHD disc which looked worse in DV.

DV has dynamic metadata but HDR10 is getting that as well likely in 2018. The two standards are identical and DV is built on HDR10.

Here from last year but late to the party. Was on the fence about ordering but finally caved yesterday morning. Ordered a silver 8+ 64 gig on JOD. Got a shipping window of 9/25-9/28. Hoping to get it before the 27th or else I’ll have to send it back to be able to jump on 10/27.

Website showed 1 64GB Space Grey 8 shipped yesterday around 1 PM for me.. Around 5:20 yesterday afternoon, I received JOD EIP update document with IMEI.. Thats around the same time UPS My Choice showed it with standard overnight shipping and delivery date of Friday.. Quickly changed that on My Choice to pickup at UPS Customer Counter because we're leaving for Florida Friday afternoon before UPS delivers to the house. I'll be picking up at 8:30 when they open.
