I think there maybe an update to the SE phone, I'm not too sure.

Until Apple gets their shit together with the Maps app and CarPlay I don't see myself getting another iPhone in the future.

Maps app is a piece of crap and you can't display google maps or waze on carplay..

Does pre-ordering typically start that early? I will be getting this 100%. I haven't gotten a new one since the iPhone 6, where I walked in launch weekend and grabbed one with zero line... I think this one will have a little more demand

Yep! It typically starts at 12:01am PST (3:01am EST) a week before the launch date. My first iPhone was the 3GS. I never stepped into the store for one. I've always preordered for home or office delivery. Easy and very convenient for me.

Guess I'll be up at 2AM CST then to get mine! I actually was trying to hold out but had to replace my screen last night.

Yep I'll set my alarm, get up just before 3:00am EST and hopefully get my preorder in quickly, then back to bed.

Tip: preordering/checking out usually goes smoother on the iOS Apple Store app vs. browser.

I've done the crazy 3 am pre order a few times now. The last few years I have gone into work the next morning and the phone I ordered was still readily available for the same shipping time.

I get caught up in the hype, but I probably won't be doing the crazy middle of the night ordering any more.

Plus, since I got the 7 last year, I'm really not in the market this go around.

I think Forbes stated Apple can only supply 2- to 4M domestic units for most of '17 and early '18 due to the shortage of OLED screens. And the bulk of their revenue and sales will go to the 7S/7S Plus. I doubt I'll be on any list to get the 8.

If the camera and battery life are seriously improved over the 7 Plus, I may be in for the 8...
