Even if I can't get the X for launch, at least I'll have some new X toy to play with (Xbox One X). Gonna be a very expensive November.
That was most likely done weeks ago.

IPhone X, Xbox One X, HomePod and Apple Watch Series 3. Certainly not a cheap end to 2017.
As per the article 3 iPhone X models. What’s the 3 models? I thought it was only 2 models, one black and the other silver.
Good call. There's only two models, so I'm not sure what other model MacRumors is referring to otherwise. Perhaps an error.
See I have no idea that this is true, and no reason to believe that it is based on past numbers.
There have been some crazy numbers floated about potential pre-orders. The only real indicator we'll have is how quickly delivery dates ship beyond the 3rd come pre-order time.
Personally, I think it will take hours for launch day delivery to sell out, unless a huge chunk of inventory is reserved for instore distribution channels, which is unlikely.
There are 2 models based on the radios, the Verizon/Sprint A1865 phones have more bands than the ATT/T-Mobile A1901 ones. I would expect the FCC to differentiate on that data.
I’m getting impatient. Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Auction off 100 of them and donate anything over the list price to the hurricane victims. That's an easy way to drive demand AND help out.
Yep ! Those items are definitely on my list.
Don't buy iPhone X guys wait for next year's model. It will have way better FaceID just look at how much difference in speed comparing TouchID first gen to second gen.
That’s what I’m doing I got a 8 plus to hold me over until then. The X could use improvements hopefully next year they take a bigger leap
Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one by x'mas to make it "very merry Christmas"!
You mean a true X-mas?
I already sold one but how long does it take to regrow a kidney?
Don't know why but every Apple hater is saying this one they are gonna get finally. Its gonna be huge.
Apple today received approval from the United States Federal Communications Commission for its upcoming iPhone X models, meaning the devices have passed all of the requisite tests and are cleared for sale.
Since the iPhone X was introduced, Apple's iPhone X product pages have included the following footnote noting that FCC approval had yet to be obtained:The FCC must approve all radio-transmitting devices before they are able to be legally sold in the United States, including all iPhones. The FCC's program is designed to ensure that RF devices in the United States "operate effectively," do not cause harmful interference, meet human RF exposure limits, and comply with other FCC rules.
Three iPhone X models have been approved for sale by the FCC, so Apple will now be able to remove that wording from the iPhone X site. FCC approval for the iPhone X comes just over three weeks ahead of when Apple will accept pre-orders for the device.
iPhone X pre-orders will start on Friday, October 27 ahead of an official launch date on November 3.
Supplies of the iPhone X are expected to be heavily constrained due to production issues with the TrueDepth camera used for facial recognition, so the device is likely to be hard to come by for the remainder of 2017 and into the early months of 2018.

I don't think different colours are counted as different models at the FCC. Probably different radio versions, maybe some Intel/Qualcom split.
Same situation for me, I have the Day One Project Scorpio on preorder and I will pre order the X as well, Sooooo yeah.... EXPENSIVE MONTH!! lol
Most iPhone users(excluding accidental damage, that’s on you) probably won’t need a warranty, every iPhone I’ve had worked great.
Androids however...
Thanks... I usually have that and their website open at the same time when I know it's a hot product.
