Just wanted to add my 2 cents to the thread.
My company's phone guy ordered my iPhone X 64GB Space Gray yesterday through AT&T Premier 11/28 about 6PM Eastern, with an estimated ship date of 12/5 - 12/12. After about an hour the status changed to "Preparing to ship". The order number starts with a 10. Hopefully this means the estimated ship date is very conservative. But judging from what I've read in this thread, maybe not.
FWIW our phone guy said that the carriers sometimes re-allocate stock out of the batch for business customers and into the batch for regular customers during the holiday season if there is a huge influx of orders.
