this funny hahaha
Clear you have access to EPP, but EPP doesn't allow you to purchase 90 days before "customers" so as before its first come, first served, no magic at all...!!!
What's EPP?
Employee Purchase Program. Qualified Apple Employees and affiliated companies employees get better pricing but there are restrictions.

You're going to need a lot more than $2000 to purchase an iPhone X on launch day from eBay.
I wouldn’t trust wifi. I remember one year I preordered and I was using my laptop to order. I stayed up all night. And when it came time to order. My cable modem service went down. By the time it came back up. I was to late to get my phone on release day. So now I use the App Store app on my phone or iPad. And use the LTE Verizon service to preorder. I was so upset at my cable modem provider that night lol.

That’s what she said?
If that's what I'm thinking it is we have access to it as at&t employees but the iPhones and iPads were never discounted.
My plan is to get everything set with a default payment card, buy it outright for collection then go into the Apple Store and try to get it put onto IUP.
Second to that will try and also pre-order it on a network if the above plan fails.
P.S Is what I am planning possible for the UK?

I don’t see an unlocked version either. The only one that doesn’t require carrier info is T-Mobile which can also be used with AT&T. I hope there is an unlocked version at preorder like the 8 as it would be a lot faster to checkout. I’m on Verizon, so I can’t use the T-Mobile one.
The unlocked version will not be available in the US at launch. The top of the line phone has never been available as unlocked at launch in the US. (8/8+ is aberration because the X is the top of line phone).It'll launch same time as rest
It's a contractual obligation thing between Apple and carriers.
I don't see an option to "favorite" the iPhone X just yet in the Apple Store app. I'm guessing because it's not available yet? Anyone else seeing something different?
If you buy the phone outright, it will come unlocked, with the SIM card of the carrier you indicated.
Edit: Added screen cap.

We shall, you're wrong, protoxx is right, you're dreaming if you think there will be a sim free option for this at launchWe shall see

But T-mobile is the only version that allows you to not input carrier info therefore yes completely unlocked for GSM carriers only, unless you buy outright in store to get the CDMA/GSM versions.
