Australian iPhone Pre-Order and Shipping Thread

[blakenichol]

So, how many of us here will be pre-ordering the iPhone X tomorrow night?

▪️App or website?
▪️Time ready before 6:01pm?
▪️What colour and capacity?
▪️Plan or outright?
▪️Store pick-up or delivered?
▪️What covers will you consider?
▪️Screen guards or naked?
▪️
It will be interesting to see how many will be in-store for those brave enough to line up.
We will have to post our outcomes and estimates for pick-up/delivery!

-App but having the website on standby.
-Will be on from 4pm since that's when I'll get home from a late lunch.
-Silver, 64GB.
-Outright.
-Store pick up, but if I can't get it for launch day I'll be braving the walk-ins line.
-Already bought a case from eBay (only temp) and it's in my hands rn.
-Naked for now.

4. Outright
5. Delivered
6. I don’t do covers.

- My laptop literally died yesterday, so even though I was going to use the App anyway I don’t have much of an option when my MacBook is in for repair lol.
- Preorders start at 3.01 pm here, I get off work at 1.00 pm tomorrow, so a few hours lol.
- Silver, 64GB.
- Outright this year, plan next (I alternate).
- Delivered.
- None for either - I’m a naked guy!

Do you think reservation for the X will be available? Plan on reserving at the Southland Apple Store and recontracting through Telstra.

How does that work?

Don't you have to order through Telstra if getting the phone on a plan?

New Zealand: So Website. Time as stated.

Does anyone have an idea if Optus is planning to release plans prior to pre order? As far as I'm aware the only Australian carrier to release plan details is Virgin.

Hey all
I was browsing the Apple Store app and she just went down, ready for tonight. The anticipation and countdown begins!
Good luck to all and hope that we all get to reserve our preferred choice, with a November 3rd delivery/pick-up!

App on my iPad Air 2, iPad Pro and iPhone 6S+ (Will have the website on standby on my laptop)
Silver 256GB (In the event the silver stock is out by the time I get in, Space Grey 256GB is also fine)
Plan (Telstra Business)
Pick up (Ideally my local store which is Apple Store Southland)
Got a $9 Kogan clear case for it already and will get an Apple Leather Case with the phone on launch day.
Got 2 screen protectors for it already as I don’t feel like leaving the phone naked.

Good luck to the early bird, X hunters.

I don't think I'll have mine until at least 2 months after everyone else.....if I still decide to get it by then

 

[jsmith189]

How’d everyone go? My app failed me, the website loaded faster and I had to go through the whole logging in process. Still got shipment 1 though. YAY!

 

[Mikeyde1989]

This is a joke! I luckily got to the final place order confirmation page at 6:03 but it wouldn’t process. Finally got through around 6:06 and delivery is 13/11 - 20/11.

Thank god my partner scored two for pickup on 3/11! 2 x 256Gb space greys for us!!

 

[fitshaced]

I ordered as an experiment and was surprised that the application took about 10 minutes from when it was added to the bag and yet I could still easily select a pickup time on launch day. Looks like they aren’t as popular as expected.

 

[dtpearson]

Got one coming in 2-3 weeks (YAY!) and then went for a second only 1 min later and its 4-5 weeks for delivery.

I think a LOT of people will not be getting an iPhone X this year.

 

[mickeydean]

got an order through telstra for iPhone X 256gb SG but the email says iPhone 8 64gb SG....so that's going to be 2 hours on the phone

 

[Underwood]

Order placed! iPhone X 256GB Silver. Order confirmation says 2-3 weeks delivery.

I went for the silver figuring I could clear case for silver/white look and black case for a black look. I have only ever had black or space grey iPhones, so Silver/White will be a first for me.... albeit still black on the front.

 

[Ashka]

NZ Ships 2 > 3 weeks. 14/11 > 21/11.
256GB Silver.. YAY..
[doublepost=1509089199][/doublepost]NZ Ships 2 > 3 weeks. 14/11 > 21/11.
Ordered online website on my MBP. No Apple stores in NZ..
256GB Silver.. YAY..

I think they are. ETA already ballooning out.

Not good for those of us waiting for staff plans...

 

[Aussi3]

iPhone X space grey 256gb 3/11
iPhone X silver 64gb 3/11

So lucky I was about to get into Telstra 5 min before preorder time

I went through right when the Apple website went back up. Got the option to pick up from store on 3/11. However, stupidly went back to change to shipping instead and within the span of 20 seconds, it's jumped to delivery in 4-5 weeks... Lesson learned, never hit the back button!

Well I’ll be throwing this one back into the pile so someone will get a bump in delivery date. Too rich for me.
