Last year, I bought an iPhone 7 on launch day because I couldn’t get the phone I really wanted: the “Jet Black” iPhone 7 Plus. I was simply too slow on the pre-order trigger. So while I waited, I used the smaller device for a couple weeks. This year, I have a much better excuse for getting the iPhone 8.

I’ve again been living with the smaller version of Apple’s updated line for the past few weeks because the phone I really want, the iPhone X, won’t be available until November. And even then, by all accounts, it will be in very, very short supply. Even if I’ve drastically improved my trigger speed from last year, I may be “stuck” with the 8 until the holidays. Or, god forbid, 2018.
