Even though I managed to get one for in store pickup on Saturday (ordered it at 8 am), near me they sure didn't overstock. I haven't seen stock at any of the stores within an hour or two of me since late morning Saturday.

Yeah, none in Florida are carrying it since Saturday.
 
I ordered at 3:15am on preorder day and have shown and still showing Nov. 17-24. I still can't believe people are walking in and getting theirs. That is beyond annoying and frustrating.
Yes, it is.
When does apple update the reservation system? 6am?
With my experience, it was around 11 am on Sunday, just when the local apple stores here opened. I was settled to wait for Nov 17 - 24 delivery, until the configuration I wanted appeared as available at the Stanford Apple Store in Palo Alto. I cancelled my Nov 17 order, waited for about 5 minutes, and then purchased from the Stanford store at around 11:30 am. What's interesting was seeing available phones (256 GB) at other stores in the area. I think you just need to check just when the stores open. Perhaps I got lucky, it was right after the daylight savings time changes. Maybe people sleeping?
 
Very disappointing, I agree. I think it was probably to generate "it's sold out" hype. I will probably think twice about pre-ordering next time, and just go to my local Apple store and pick one up, if this is how it's going to be.
Except this is the exact opposite of "How it has been".

Never have I seen Apple ignoring first come, first serve matra and bumping specific types of orders (IUP).

Never have I seen Apple flooding retail channels with inventory while pre-orders sit collecting dust.

This is new. Who can say this is how it will be next year?

Spoke to Apple again this morning and they swear in their apology 101 BS that they have no control over who gets their order when and it is First come first serve when i advised that was completely bogus because all of the IUP ppl are getting their, I was hung up on.
 
IUP order with an original ship date of "Delivers 17 Nov, 2017 - 24 Nov, 2017" then bumped to "Delivers 14 Nov, 2017 - 21 Nov, 2017". I still have OIP and no CC charge or any movement since I pre ordered on 10/27/17.

No iPhone X's in stock in the SF/Bay Area location's but will probably cancel my pre order if one becomes available. Pretty disappointing with this year with pre orders.

Still stuck with my iPhone 6.

First time with IUP as well.

So glad to see many people in this thread are "graduating" from this wait! This year's pre-ordering was bad as usual lol, now to put this behind us until next fall haha.

Now when's my truck gonna be here...
 
Is it sad that I thought the same thing too when I saw the pics? On the other hand maybe thats why some of us haven't seen any movement, INGEN is running the operation. :D

I agree with you. I'm no longer part of the IUP program, due to this launch and reading about what happened to IUP members last year. I switched to the Verizon Upgrade program. I will either order through Verizon next year, or just pick-up in store like I did this year...on launch day. I'm refusing the shipment of my original order, and exiting the IUP program. Another reason I don't like IUP, is that you are required to buy Apple Care with your order. My issue with this is that I would be paying for two years of Apple Care, when I only need one. I picked up a 1 year Square Trade warranty for $80, which covers everything that Apple Care does, with the same deductibles, and with Square Trade I can file up to 4 claims during the one year that I'm covered, regardless of the damage amount or whether or not it was accidental, etc. It doesn't come with the additional tech support, however that is not something I need. It's a far better deal in my opinion.


Hmmm??? I’m listening!!! Will VZW let you upgrade every year to a new iPhone and out of the agreement if you want next year?

That's bs about first come first serve... I order 3 days before someone else and I'm stuck at 11/21 where a person 3 days after me orders they have a tracking number for a order that shipped..
 
Just a lil FYI there are zero phones in stores and when I visited Apple today to pick up my wireless charger the rep I dealt with told me there may not be phones in the stores all week?

I can see Apple doing this, even if they have stock, they will leave the stores dry to AGAIN build up demand...whatever at this point...lol

Yes, you can upgrade your iPhone every year, after 50% of the payments have been made, just like with the IUP plan.
 
Finally some movement! My CC just got charged and my status changed to Preparing for shipment!!! Yay it’s still showing Nov 17-24 tho! I hope that will change!

I’m doing the ATT installment plan, btw.
