Looks like ordering at 3:04AM paid off... My twoX’s will arrive on Philly on release day, Nov 3rd. I hope my friend understands this is her birthday, Christmas and every other holiday in 2018 gift...

Damn you could have checked and posted. Now I have to get closure by making sure I read all comments to know if your date is now improved. Why would you do this? :p
It is a talent!!!:cool:

Also, mine is ATT...not Tmobile.

If you upgraded to 256...that would be a gift for two years!
 
It pisses me off that the iPhone Upgrade Program is not available in Europe, except in the UK.
It's the only way I could have afforded this awfully expensive model.
For the first time in 10 years I'll have to pass on upgrading, there's no way I'm paying for it up front.
Also the elimination of the mid-tier option (128 GB) does not sit well at all with me.
64 GB is not enough and 256 GB is overkill at this time.
Last but not least, the price increase on the "mainstream" iPhone 8 was totally unjustified.
I can't believe I'm looking at alternative products from competitors...

I have a feeling this is T-Mobile related issue only. I only saw T-Mobile orders shipping times 1-2 weeks. No other carried slipped to 1-2 weeks, they all went straight to 2-3 weeks. Seemed weird to me. Maybe there were some T-mobile logistics that needed to be figured out before they could promise a delivery of Nov 3. Did anyone with T-mobile initially get a Nov 3 delivery when pre-ordered at 12:01am?

Well I ordered mine via Apple for T-Mobile at 12:02 AM PDT and got the 1-2 weeks delivery notice of Nov. 10-17 which I thought was crazy considering how early I got in, but read other forums where people said T-Mobile's actual site opened 3 minutes early so I figured that was why the ship times slipped. But I don't trust the carrier quoted delivery as I remember reading in forums in past years where people got burned and were promised certain delivery times like launch day and they couldn't deliver it. Plus Apple is way better at updating their delivery, etc.

Pretty sure there was an issue with T-Mobile phones only, some glitch in the system as mentioned earlier. No other carrier had this happen. I literally ordered the FIRST minute at 12:01pst and when I clicked to buy, it said 'delivers Nov 3' but then when I got the confirmation email it said nov10-nov17. I was not happy at the time and thought there may be some underlying problem. I don't think there is just magically more stock like some are suggesting, or less demand.
Nope, my 64GB Silver on Verizon was 1-2 weeks with an estimated delivery on the 10-17. I was updated to 11/3. I doubt there was a specific carrier glitch. Maybe we all were using TouchID to purchase at the same time. ;)

Well one of my orders in China went from 2-3 weeks to 5-6 weeks, so not all flying colors.

I think you are right. I got my T-mobile order in very early, only to be told Nov 10-17. Now it’s Nov 3rd.
 
My unlocked T-Mo sim grey 64gb was 11/10-11/17 and just updated to 11/3 as well:) Of course I'm out of town on the 3rd, grrrr.

My same exact issue.. I’m out of town next Friday and my order was moved from 11/10-11/17 to 11/3... but I guess a good problem to have at this point.. I’ll have my neighbor sign for it! I’m also a 256gb unlocked T-Mobile
