Not sure why I was even fooling myself, by not pre-ordering!
Now I will have to order at 06:00 Eastern, for same day pickup...
 
Wife and I both said we would keep our 8+ phones another year. Still we preapproved citizens one just in case we changed our mind. 6am release day we both preordered the Max. Yep. Planning on keeping these 2-3-4 years too. Cough. Tho we are in the sept 28-oct 5 delivery frame. :(

I am really hoping to see movement this week or early next as inventory starts to move around.

I told myself I wasn’t going to upgrade from my X...... but I found myself preordering the Max. Hopefully it comes before the first week of October!!!!!

Same here, and having early buyers remorse. More than any other phone, I really don’t see any tangible benefit this time. I was thrilled last year with the X and sending back my boat anchor 7+, which would cause my left hand to go numb from some pressure point in my palm. Why would I buy the larger phone again? Because it’s there and I know Ill somehow regret it if I buy the regular XS.

I may test drive one before I open the box in case I decide to take it back.
 
I was going back and forth the day of the preorder, but with yearly upgrades for only a few bucks more or less per month, it's just too easy.
 
First starts with denial, then Apple's marketing starts to mess with our heads and when we realize we just burned 1.5k.
