Apple Updating Some iPhone X Orders With Improved Delivery Dates

Forgive me for the question but, there’s hundreds of posts here and I haven’t the time or energy to sift through them.....

Has anyone in the UK had their delivery date upgraded?

Given the one or two comments I did manage to find I’m guessing not?
 
Ordered the iPhone X at 3am on release night and the server timed out with Citizens Bank after placing the order through my iPhone upgrade plan... was scheduled for Nov 3 release date pick up. The order never fully went through and I got an email telling me to reorder and hopefully I would get it in mid to late Dec.

I was pissed to say the least but the point is to upgrade otherwise I would be on a conventional plan. So I ordered it. Fast forward to 7pm(ish)and I get a call from a Texas #. I answered thinking it was a spam call but they rarely call from TX. It was Apple who was very apologetic and is now sending me a phone on the release date(not free lol) The CSR told me this happened to some people and they were trying to make it right. I was surprised because I am just 1 of a however many who ordered this phone and would have been easy to shrug off. I appreciate good customer service.

iPhone 7 didn't have 5-6 week shipping windows within hours.

Yes, though apple of recent has been delivering iPhone earlier than stated. In the past the date given to the customer was often correct. Out of the 6 , 7 and X, the the X was the only one I got for release date, and I was online 5 min before preorder each time.

Let's see how it plays out

Just received an email from Apple asking me for the order number since I had encountered issues when applying for the CitizensOne loan for the iPhone X.
Hopefully they can fix the issue and ship the phone earlier than December.

Same here ... received the exact same email ... I was all set for store pick at 8am on 3rd. Got an email 4 hrs later that , there were issues, please re order. It was already 5 - 6 weeks.
Filled in the exact same details and it went thru smoothly now. Replied back to that email as well with the order no. Hoping they send it before dec.

I am in the same boat as you with 2-3 weeks, holding out for news - please let me know if yours changes!
[doublepost=1509192295][/doublepost]Can all of you let me know if you have any changes? I'm waiting on Silver 256GB UK

Same, 0809 for me. That said, I expected it to be post Xmas so a mere few weeks is nothing in comparison.

Awesome ..... Exact same thing with me .... no call though just email ... it said check back on your delivery date after 3 days ... hoping the same outcome as yours :)
 
I order mine from Verizon’s business site. I wasn’t able to get it to load until 4am (one hour after launch). They gave me a delivery date of “by 11/15”. I wonder if that means I could possibly get it before that date.

256GB Silver UK here via Apple Store app with confirmation email at 08:07 and stuck at "Order in Progress" for 13-20 Nov. Not seen any posts of UK orders being bumped up, still [optimistically] hoping it gets brought forward in the coming days as has happened to some lucky folks in years gone by.

Count me in: T-Mo, order completed at 3:08 AM, original date 10th-17th. Now launch day. I’ll take it.

I have yet to see a T-Mo confirmation of launch day delivery on the initial order. Retrospectively thinking that something may have been “off” about those initial dates.

It's impossible to say at this stage until the numbers are released.

either apple have alot more stock than they let on to build more hype or the limited amount not as many have ordered. I think x plus the iPhone 8 orders will still be the best selling phone by a big margin yet again but hard to know the true figures.

if a high amount off people do get theirs on the 3rd then maybe the demand is lower. Or the reason why apple delayed the release over a month later than the 8 was to get a high amount of stock ready in time.

I got up at 3am like a lot of people and ordered one. It wasn't fun and I was tired at work the next day. I did this because they made it seem like the supplies were so constrained, that if you didn't order at that time, you wouldn't get one till 2018. Well, seeing that shipping times are only 5-6 weeks a day later, that is clearly not the case. There just isn't demand there for a $1,000 phone, especially considering the Samsung S8 is around $700. I will still enjoy the phone since I'm coming from a 3 year old iPhone 6, but I definitely do feel duped.

5-6 weeks is sold out! And in demand.

All models worldwide have this time for delivery now.

I’ve never seen that before on any iPhone model on the Apple store. Some would slip back but never every model worldwide.

Just consider that 6 weeks is mid December.

I don’t think anyone has had to wait that long for a launch day preorder delivery.

Please you and others stop saying this. People can spend their money on whatever they want. Are you gonna tell that to everyone that likes to buy nice things for themselves with their hard earned money? Or people that pay rent every month for their nice apartment?

What some of you fail to realize is that a lot of people just sell their old phone and it makes up a LOT of the cost of the new one.

How is this such a hard concept for you people to grasp? I got $600 for my 7 Plus and am going the Upgrade Program thru Apple. It’s not rocket science.

And also people can donate to things AND buy nice things. Let them live.

They want everyone to be as sad and miserable as they are. It’s called socialism, or also known as “misery loves company”.

Me too. I tried to place my order at 3:01 EST from Toronto on both my iPhone via the store app and my MacBook Pro. After many successive attempts, i was able to place my order via the iOS app at 3:05am, while safari was still not loading the Apple store site. My shipping time was listed as 2-3 weeks. I'm hoping that my delivery window bumps up from Nov 21st - 28th.
