Ordered an unlocked 256GB SG 8 Plus from Apple this morning. Coming from a launch day 6 Plus so it should be a pretty decent upgrade.
Your jealously starts when people start receiving their new iphones and orders are back ordered by two months.
I think you mean envy unless you think someone's going to take your phone away.
Mine doesn't, no. If I'm not the first I'm happy to be last. Being 2nd is last.
I don't even know what that means. Last I checked "pang of jealousy" is long for "envy" not fear of theft.
I don't understand Apple Care unless I am reading it wrong
Canada Prices
$199 AC
2 accidental drops covered
49 to replace screen
so even if your clumbsy and use both
300 for 2 new screens
but isn't a screen without coverage $150? so what are you saving
In the past, the correct usage was:
envy = desiring what belongs to another
jealousy = apprehension that what you have is desired by another
The words have been misused for so long that they've almost become synonymous.
Here in the U.K it's £25 for a screen replacement which is a great price. I've never had Apple care in the past, I usually use a case and I'm not very clumsy.
I'm probably one of those jerks that will have hate spewed upon them for lack of financial finesse, but I am getting the 8+ sim free... and may trade it in for the X if it seems more appealing and IF... I can get my hands on one...
I've been tracking a bunch of these threads the last week or so and it's interesting. Right after launch, the iPhone 8/8+ crowd was at roughly 44% with over 500 results. iPhone X was similarly at about 48% and undecideds were at about 8%. I wonder now that the preorder has come and gone if those numbers will hold or will we see a giant shift in one direction or the other. I'll be picking up the 256 GB X though.
256GB 8+ in space grey.
$4 extra a month on the IUP for double the storage (had a 128GB 7+), and all of the other benefits from the new phone. I'm not in love enough with the X to sacrifice the screen size and Touch ID for now. I may regret it in November, but I doubt it.

Right but if you must be pedantic in 2017 there are multiple correct usages of the word "jealousy." In my use please see definition #1. I think you are referring to #5. Neither are wrong but I wasn't using the word as you interpreted it.
