So had you bought into the FUD spread by a single reviewer who claimed bright light defeated Face ID? And now you are relieved? YouTube will now fill up with videos of people claiming Face ID doesn’t work, works only sometimes, was tricked by a picture, the list is endless. The troll army will be gunning for FaceGate.
Got a tip for us?

Depends on how the demand looks 2-3 months from now. If there's a good drop and 3rd-party retailers begin offering nice discounts, expect prices to "normalize" next September for the iPhone 11, X Series 1/2 or whatever Apple names it.
Yeah that was pure FUD, however, the Antennagate had some truth in it, for example. Now I am sure this is not the case snd that FaceID is excellent.
Because he got something he wanted. Whether it involved buying it, winning it, or finding it lying on the sidewalk is irrelevant. Congratulating people on their good fortune is something emotionally developed humans do.Not picking on you in particular, but why congratulate someone for choosing to buy something? I see this a lot with regards to the iPhone. I don't hear people congratulating someone when they buy a new refrigerator or a TV. New toaster? Congratulations!! People somehow relate new iPhone owners with lottery winners or those couples having a baby or getting married, graduating college or some other positive life changing event. Is choosing to spend >$1000 on the iPhone worthy of congratulations?
Delivery at 11. Held off opening until 15. Why not? Wasnt expected until 30th.
1st impressions. Wow. Small. Coming from the last 3 Plus models. After turned on and used for an hour or so. Beautiful and so responsive, keyboard, face id, app switcher, all. Design is the jones. Solid, sleek, sexy.
Apps look gorgeous. Accept for the buggers who haven’t bothered to update yet. They look crap.
Also, found you can swipe up in app switcher to close apps, as others said you need to tap the x, which is nice.
Forgotten the home button already. Gestures aren’t that hard, unless you’re a bit dim. I’ve used iPhones since 3G.
Small form factor (with basically the same size screen as plus models; difference is negligible) is welcome. Trutone is great. Face ID? The future. Especially for sweaty handed people like myself.
All in all, slight disappointment has turned to utter love in a few short hours.
256g. Space grey. Get in there.

Finding one lying on the sidewalk I would agree would be good fortune and possibly worthy of congratulations. Receiving something you purchased online and expected to be delivered anyways...not so sure.

...and here’s one Silver 256GB iPhone X right on time in Finland. The plastic wrapping is surprisingly handy when you drool all over the box before unboxing
A nice international roll-out of undoubtfully epic proportions by Apple. Well done!
I like the plastic bit
.
Yeah it is different now. And I'm a bit older and I've got a smaller bladder. Don't know if I could sit outside for 12 hours waiting for a phone when I could wait 4 weeks and get one delivered to my cozy home.
I'm just chillin here at BJ's restaurant and they are showing the iPhone X on the Fox Business channel. Better than Christmas! Although Christmas is more about giving than receiving. Today is about giving billions and billions to Apple.
Xciting Xperience.

On the flip side my local Brick and Mortar (Upstate, NY) received 400 X's on Wednesday. Still had 64g at&t and Verizon for Walk ins as of 2pm est. 400 is about 1/4 the normal shipment prior to launch.
Congratulations right back at you! I hope you husband enjoys his new phone. Great outlook on life GrumpyMom!
I am. Good fortune that's earned is just as worthy of congratulations as good fortune from luck. We congratulate people on getting married, even though their weddings are planned months in advance, usually at large expense.
Thanks for this. Mine shows they're in my neighborhood now and will be here any minute!
Thank you. It arrived just a few minutes ago. It’s very nice and he got it set up very quickly despite us being on AT&T. The display is very nice for an OLED. It is an interesting feeling seeing iOS on an OLED display after all these years.Well, then in that spirit, CONGRATULATIONS to your husband on his new iPhone X!
I think I prefer the look of my Apple LCD display on this forum and in white backgrounds. But dark mode in apps that provide it and looking at images is where the strengths of the OLED display will shine through.
Of course we tried the Animoji! That was a lot of fun. I think he will be texting me Animoji quite a bit because they’re actually more convenient to create and send than we expected.
The notch is very distracting when I’m standing by looking at it over his shoulder. When I actually get to do something on the phone directly, I have to admit I forget it’s there. So that is good.
There is still much to recommend our 7 Pluses and we are very fortunate to have them. However, I think the IPhone X is making a good first impression in our household so far. Keeping my fingers crossed that it continues to impress!

I hope you have a very happy birthday. I’m 51, myself, and I love middle age! Keeping guard of one’s health is a bit more of a challenge, but everything else about getting older is pretty cool. I hope I’m a cute, eccentric, mischievous old lady some day.
I’m finding it fun.
Reminds me of the old days of iPhone, when I would stand in line on launch day. But now I’m more than happy to wait at home for UPS and watch others enjoy that part.
Kind of funny to feel nostalgic for such recent times.
I'm older than some dirt so yeah, I know what you mean. By the time mine arrives in early December, it will be old news.
