I got my order in through Apple.com but I’m gonna have to pick it up at my local store since by the time AT&T servers were able to be contacted it already slipped to two weeks
 
I was in and out quickly on the app. It finally let me in at 12:03 and I was processed within a minute. TMobile SG 256. Delivery date Nov 10-17. My guess is this is the best for the TMobile version. If you’re on Sprint you can still get Nov 3.
 
Wow. That wait after 3:01 was rough but it was such a rush. My heart is still pounding and hands shaking. First time joining IUP and was able to preorder with launch day delivery. I can’t believe it. I was hopeful but honestly figured I would get it a few weeks later. I did it through the App on my iPhone so I didn’t have to enter Verizon number, zip code, or SSN. I had all the information written down ready just in case. Thank you to everyone on here for all the advice and support. You truly get me. Lol. Can’t wait to watch everyone’s iPhone X tracking updates.

For anyone wondering I ordered:
Verizon
256GB
Silver
Nov. 3rd Delivery Date
Email Confirmation timestamp: 3:09
 
I got the same. No email

I've never had this happen before. Got into the store no problem. Went to order my iPhone X using iPhone Upgrade Program (new customer), selected AT&T, put in my AT&T info, then it said it couldn't contact the AT&T server. It said it reserved my phone and they would e-mail me with instructions to purchase the phone when they could contact the carrier server. It said I had 24 hrs once I receive the email to complete the purchase or it would be canceled?

Has Apple done this before? I've been ordering for years but never had this happen. Then again, this is a iUP purchase, so maybe that's why? I tried a different time with one of my other A&T numbers and it did the same thing. So now I have two confirmation numbers, both saying the phone is reserved and wait for an email to purchase.

Does this mean I will be reserved in line? It said Nov 3 when I started the process, but I don't know if by "reserved" they lock in that ship date?

Anyone else get this? Will the e-mail be sent shortly, or will it be later today?

yet though. Not sure this will work for launch day phone.
 
Should I be concerned if I didn't get an email confirmation and I have no orders in my order history on the app? My purchase allegedly wen't through 20 mins ago via the Apple Store app.
 
Site didn't open till 12:11am for me, said November 3rd but I'm not too hopeful. Did iUP upgrade from 7+ and says "Upgrade Pending" whenever I try to go in and look at the order status. No email, probably has to go through. Anybody else who had preapproval get similar results?
 
Feeling pretty lucky at this time. Wife and I tried to order at the same time. AT&T but pay full price. My App Store app came online at about 3 after - finished checking out (as fast as I could go) at 5 after. Space Black 256. November 3rd.

The whole time I was ordering, my wife’s App Store and website never came up. She was frustrated. So, I got back on my app and ordered her phone. Finished checking out at 9 after and she also got a Space Black 256. And she got November 3rd.

So, shocked that I finished at essentially 2:09 CDT and got November 3rd delivery. Shocked but happy.

what does "your iphone upgrade is pending" mean? no orders anywhere, no emails, app didn't work until 3.10 for me.

I had the same problem. Not in the best mood right now
 
pretty easy pre-order through the app store app even though it didn't go live for a few minutes. was able to pre-order and get my confirmation email @ 2:06AM CT with a 11/3 delivery for my SG 64GB iPhone X. had the iPhone X saved in my favorites.
 
I ordered so damn fast and somehow got the 10th-17th :/ im happy but kinda crapped out .. first iPhone I may not be receiving launch day

Same situation here. I finished my preorder on same device that I did the pre-pre-IUP activities. My other order that is not IUP shows up in my order history and I got emails for them. But I did not get it for the IUP one. Was there some hidden button that needed to be clicked we didn't see?

It was a funny time at my office. The Apple Store-app wouldn't load, but the Apple.com/no website loaded for me instantly. I managed to place two separate orders, one 256GB Black and one 256GB Silver one for me and one for my fiancee both with 03. Nov delivery. Then I managed to place one 256GB Black for a college, then another 256GB Black for another college both with delivery 03. Nov!
