haha indeed.. 8 more daysi don't usually watch the keynote until the replay is available later in the evening so I'll be absent from anything online on the 12th come 6pm!
anyone going case less for the X,XS,XS+? Given i'm on IUP i have a little cover in case of breakages etc but still find it one slippery bugger!
Also, for those going to the XS+, any worries about the weight? the X is noticeably heavier than and 8 and I found the 7+ I had previously to be hefty too. I can only image the XS+ will be a few ounces more! one hand use really seems limited for me on the plus model this year.
I never go caseless on any of my iPhones! I have AppleCare on my 8+ and still have a case on it as one drop equals smashed glass!!!
Thought I'd place this here for those waiting for gold. Can dream until they receive their new shiny toy.
Hmm gold on back or white? My preference is on black and the current silver/white combo.
Regardless mines in a case and is never seen
I'm tempted by the Gold colour this year, but I'm really going to have to wait and see when Apple reveals it.
Don't want to buy Gold, then get bored after a month.
Space Grey/Black is always a safe bet for me and still looks the bomb!

Probably not a popular opinion, but the gold is just so gaudy/tacky to me, no matter the implementation in terms of shade, etc.
It really does depend on the shade of gold and probably the light it’s seen under. I remember when the first gold model 5s came out and I though the same. Saw it in the flesh and ended up with it!
A shiny, blingy gold is a no no but apple tend to get the darkness and matt appearance right.. lets see if it continues!
The rose gold was defo a no go for me
Will still get silver/white I think
No, they only let you order once it’s out.
But once it’s announced check their page as you never know:

[doublepost=1536014149][/doublepost]I’ll be trying to follow the keynote whilst walking the dog..! I may watch the video later that night depending on how tired I am.
Anyone know who's best to lock in a sale price for the X? Normally theres date extensions from what I can remember so ready to lock in.
Pretty sure it was envirofone who offered an extension and also use have an additional discount code (‘extra5’ ?).. but someone earlier in this thread said that no longer works
Anyone in here that had the issues over the jet black IP7+ with EE that jumped ship to BT after all there delays.
Had a preorder from preorder day but 6 weeks later jumped to BT to get the phone.
Just curious anyone do the same

iPhone XS Plus in white/silver/whatever they call it. And a stainless steel Watch 4
For those asking about locking in prices for trade-in, I've always found hunting for a code a day before the reveal event and "selling" it to envirofone the day before the reveal event to be best. They will give you 2 weeks and then offer you a further week via email if they haven't received your device within about 9-10 days. Seems to work well. I'm on the Apple Upgrade this time round so won't be doing it myself.
EDIT: The code I used last year was 'CLOUDEXTRA5' if that helps anyone.

...yea, me too - its certainly gonna feel weird handing back my current iPhone 8 Plus, in order to upgrade!
For sure. I only did it last year as O2 screwed me over on the 8 Plus. I pre-ordered at 8:01 when they opened pre-orders and my bro pre-ordered at 16:30 the same day. He got his phone on launch day and a week later I was still waiting for mine. They still maintain they did the pre-orders in time order, but my experience seems to say they don't! I'm still on my refresh tariff with them.
Definitely going with Xs regular. Hopefully the rumoured $899 trickles to us. On the iPhone upgrade program and would love to drop the £56.45 monthly payment, even by a couple of quid though I doubt Apple will let that happen.
Still grandfathered in with £19 all you can eat everything with 30gb of tethering. They will have to pry that deal out of my cold hands!

Doesn’t seem like there’s much more to give away. Can’t see there being any surprises with hardware etc.
