It looks beautiful, but I did notice one thing suspicious. I read or saw something somewhere that the lock button was repurposed as the button for Siri/Apple pay. On this video he actually locks the screen with the side button. Anyone have any insight? That's what has me thinking the phone in the video is a knockoff.

(Me personally, I hope that lock button has an option to turn of Siri/Apple Pay to utilize the side button as the original lock button because I use that hundreds of times a day and rarely use Siri/Apple Pay.)

Why wouldn't in lock the device? Siri is a long hold and Apple Pay is double press. To invoke the power options it it side button plus volume up.

Some combination of Side + Volume button, can't remember exactly

My hold for pickup request has been pending for over 24 hours now. Request completion is when you see Exception in your MyChoice delivery planner. So, I called up UPS, and the lady said it could complete once the package reaches the States or once it reaches the UPS CC on the day of. And as such, she couldn't guarantee the availability for a pickup on the day of.

I'm contemplating cancelling the request and just waiting at home. Do you think it's safe to cancel the request at this point without affecting the delivery?

Gosh, waiting for delivery is much more stressful than trying to pre-order.

Chill. It'll process just be patient.

I went back and looked at the posts from last year. It looked like Monday people started seeing movement out of China.

I finally got the shipment notification from Apple my padfolio berry case shipped. Ordered immediately after I pre-ordered the iPhone X.

Side button functions (formerly known as Lock button):

press once: lock
press twice: Apple Pay
press and hold: Siri

Makes sense, thank you! I was worried about that, it seemed crazy not to have a button that acted as a manual lock button. I've watched entirely too many videos at this point, it has rattled my brain.

I was looking at the mobile version of macrumors so it didn’t tell me. That said I have a feeling this year tomorrow Will be the day they move. That would get the phones to the us by Wednesday.

What about turning the phone off? Does that mean you keep holding it once Siri has popped up? Which means Siri would be activated every time you want to restart the phone. Curious to see how it all works!

Also, been over 24 hours since there was last movement, still sitting in China!

I decided to give it another 24 hours. If it's still pending by that point, I'm def canceling the request.

For the 11/17-11/24 team ...have you seen any movement??

 

[ChazzR]

The degree to which everyone is parsing every detail is hilarious. Don't get me wrong I REALLY want my phone first thing Friday morning. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas but getting maybe on Monday vs Friday or even a week later is not that big of a deal, right?
