We call them phones but they’re really ultra portable computers! In 2017 people are willing to spend money on devices that they do way more than just make phone calls. The “phone” thing kind makes everyone look crazy for spending money on something that a £50 android phone can do.

This is state of the art computing technology. There are hardly any machines on earth that are capable of doing all of what the iPhone/pixel/galaxy can do in one package. Whether it’s worth it to an I individual depends on what you use it for. For me, I’ll probably skip this one. But I can see why it costs so much.

You are right. Is not just a phone for everybody. Is a computer. That i will be using for work. The phone will pay itself. In my case.
 
You could have ordered the T-Mobile version. It’s unlocked for GSM carriers and doesn’t require an account when ordering.
You are right!!! I've just checked it. If I knew this then.... I checked ATT and Verizon and gave up.
Well, I will use your information next year. Thank you syed93.
 
My also showing on the way. Original delivery estimate was 11/10 to 11/17 but bumped up to 11/3.

You can pre-order and pay full price thru Apple... there was an unlocked option.

No it wasn't. Only those who knew that T-mobile doesn't require the account details could have ordered.
I didn't know that.
Even now the option - "order unlocked phone and activate later" in not visible!
However it is for iphone 8 orders.

Wish it was the same with the Verizon model which is the one that I really wanted but ended up getting the Tmo version instead.

I have received a shipping confirmation from sprint and it's showing that my device is already in Kentucky. Is it possible that it could arrive before Nov 3rd?



The first iPhone X orders began shipping out to customers today ahead of a promised delivery date on Friday, November 3, the official launch date for the device.

Apple hasn't updated order statuses from "Preparing for Shipment" and won't do so until later this week when packages begin hitting their destination countries, but iPhone X models shipping via UPS in the United States are in transit and can be tracked using a UPS My Choice account or, in some cases, by reference number on the UPS website.

Tracking by reference often requires a phone number and a zip code, but sometimes the order number minus the last two digits also works. Many of our forum members are seeing their orders on the UPS website at this point, but not every order has been transitioned to UPS as of yet, so it may take another day or two for all orders to show up.

Pre-orders for the iPhone X kicked off on Friday, October 27 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, and orders slated for November 3 delivery shifted to preparing for shipment later that same day and customers began seeing charges on their credit cards.

At this point, pre-order supplies of the iPhone X are sold out and have been since minutes after pre-orders went live. Current delivery estimates for iPhone X orders placed today are at 5 to 6 weeks, so many devices won't be arriving until late November and December. Apple is working to ship out iPhone X models as fast as possible, though, and some customers have already seen their delivery dates improve.

While it's no longer possible to pre-order an iPhone X for launch day delivery, Apple will have iPhone X models in stock at retail stores on November 3, so there's still a chance to get a device without a long wait. Customers hoping to get an iPhone X at a retail store should plan to line up early.

I bought my iPhone x from the Apple store online. I don’t see anything on the UPS tracking page that says a signature is required. In the past, iPhones bought from Apple did require a signature.
 
Verizon never seems to update for me until Tuesday or Wednesday. Would be nice to not see “processing”. Lol

Mine is still pending for Nov 3rd shipment.

very very beautiful, so it seems Apple is delivery a lot sooner.
heres mine

Awesome! I’m like a little kid on Christmas waiting for mine! Good luck!
 
I was ready at 2.55 am to preorder my iPhone X from the Apple US store. Unfortunately I learnt it was only for the chosen ones. - ATT, VERIZON, Sprint, T-Mobile. How about prepaid companies like Cricket for example? Why can't I preorder paying the full price? And.... They ship them UNLOCKED with SIM card inserted.
Funny funny funny....
My friends in Europe ordered without any problems.
Welcome to America. All is a business.
iPhone 8 (US Apple web) can be ordered without contract (full price) with no problem.

Here in Canada, that’s the only was to preorder through Apple, and it never comes with a SIM. Also means we’re all paying full price on launch day. It is possible to get one subsidized from carriers, but usually only a few weeks out, and they have their own system to order.
 
Phone is loaded on UPS by reference. You think it’s safe to change the delivery address on there now? Or should I wait until they officially let me know. Is this even possible?
 
I've never been able to track a store pickup, I just wait for the ready for pickup notice. Could be just me not knowing what to enter into UPS tracking (store zip, order number, phone number, etc.) or they're not trackable or it's FedEx (never tried to track via FedEx).

My order for store pick up is still "Processing Items". What about you?
I don't think you really can track products which are avariable for store pick up, but apple has also the status "Preparing for Shipment" and "Shipping to Store" as a status before "Item avariabe for pick up". Wondering, when those status are taking place.

Can’t wait to get the iPhone 9 next year with the same features for $300 less, lol

I got a $300.00 credit for my iPhone 7. I’m pretty sure others did too.. It’s not as bad everyone is making it be if you got the credit....

So I guess with orders going out on time and shipping dates being changed to reflect shorter wait times, I guess not that many people ordered the iPhone X. Doesn't seem as though people are going crazy for this preorder. They are probably just waiting to walk into an Apple Store on Friday.

According to Apple there is only going to be a handful available on launch day at the stores... If someone is going to wait until then. They better set up a tent in front of the Apple store on Wednesday...

I changed delivery to 'hold for pickup' and there were no problems doing that.
 
Do you guys know if there will be Accessories for the X avariable in the Apple Store on launchday? Like the normal leather case or the belkin screen protector. The homepage says on varoius Stores "Nov 8"?! I don't know what it was the other launchdays like ...
