Of course there's no one lining up for this phone. I'm a fanboy (shocker) but Apple really goofed this time.
The iPhone 7 is a really, really good phone. Very fast, great camera, etc, and it was expensive to buy last fall.
The iPhone 8 has some cool new features: New glass design, better camera (wow!), faster cpu, wireless charging, but ... meh! So what? My iphone 7 is still freaking awesome without these new features so as an iPhone 7 user, I don't feel the need to upgrade yet.
The other goof Apple dun did was announce the iPhone X coming out in November. If I really wanted to buy a new phone right now, I would wait until the X came out, even if it was too expensive and I wanted to compare the 2 in my hands. What's an extra 40 days or so?
And plus, to be really honest, it doesn't even look that cool or that different from the 7's. This apple fanboy gives it a single "Meh" out of 2 Meh's.
Of course I will still go to the Apple store to check it out, but I know I won't buy it until I stupidly break my current phone.
I loves-me my Apple products, but no boner this time.
