Those who queued overnight really got pwned big time.

So many ppl already knew this would happen. With iphone X coming out in nov, ppl will wait for it. Even if it is to see what its like, if they dont like it they can still buy 8. Either way, confirn got tons of stock.

Why torture yourself? Iphone X however is the one that confirm will run out of stock quickly. That one will need to pitch basha 3 days in advance 🤣

Don't see the need to queue for this generation of iPhone to be honest. I have been using Apple for a number of years, but this year is particularly disappointing with the same old boring design (4th iPhone with same design since iPhone 6). Even if Apple claims that their designers are busy working on iPhone X, I won't buy this excuse since they have 4 years to rework on a new design. iPhone X is definitely the one to look forward to, but even so, I think I will give it a miss this year since it looks like a rushed product.

iPhone 8 has Bluetooth 5, so can I check with those with iPhone 8, can it connect and output to two Bluetooth speakers at the same time? Anybody tested it? Thanks!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what's the deal with redwhitemobile having such cheaper iPhone8 prices than the official Apple store?

Apple store 8 Plus 64GB is $1308 vs RWM $1180.
Apple store 8 Plus 256GB is $1548 vs RWM $1380.

Roughly 10% savings compared to official Apple prices.

Part 2 question - if I buy from RWM, can I still get AppleCare+ coverage?

If you can, wait for iPhone X to be launched. That may just bring down the iPhone 8 prices further. Haha

Thanks for the tip.

What about AppleCare+? Can I still get this from Apple if I buy the iPhone from a non-Apple vendor?

Can, as long as the serial number is not activated, or activated less than 60 at the time you buy from the shop. Check that first before you buy. Specifically ask for this at the start, so that they may get you a set that meets your requirement.

I got the standard 4.7 inch iphone 8 because it is cheaper than the plus model. I like the speed of the phone, but I noticed that RAM management is bad. Never thought that I would say this about an iphone.

4.7 inch Iphone 7 with 2 GB RAM had good RAM management where a lot of apps don't reload, but iphone 8 seems to be a step back in that area...Maybe IOS 11.1 will fix it.
