Mine has finally arrived and departed Anchorage!

Funny—today I finally convinced my mom to let me upgrade her 4s. She checked them out at Costco, fell in love with a gold 8 but didn’t want to go through the process there, so I just ordered online and squeaked it in by 5pm cutoff for free next day. So, her phone will be here on my original delivery date. At least somebody gets a new toy tomorrow.

I guess the fact that an $80 game that requires you to pay to unlock Vader doesn't impact you?
The sense of entitlement some people have is astounding. I'm actually disappointed that EA caved. They're just encouraging the idea that whining loudly on social media is how you solve problems.
 
I still have this, and UPS moved my delivery from 11/16 to 11/17, Apple says 11/20...what the hell UPS!!!

I just don't buy EA games... haven't for years. Same with Ubi...
 
UPS has a flight from Louisville to PHX and my phone is not on it :(. Phone has been in Kentucky since early Sunday morning so kinda bummed. Looks like the 16th date really is going to stand.

My phone ATT 256GB Space Gray (paid in full) has the exact same tracking history. I’m in the LA area.

If it's on it's way to Louisville now than I'm pretty sure you'll get it tomorrow.

That's the flight I thought it was too. *fingers crossed*

That would be a nice surprise, but after this whole pre-order chaos, I'm not getting my hopes up.
same here

My phone has also been in KY since Yesterday morning (even went thru clearance).

My phone made its way to Louisville and went thru security clearance etc by 9:18 Sunday morning. Hoping to Hell it gets on a flight tonight after the UPS sort and makes its way to New Jersey already. Not sure what the odds of that happening are since the delivery date still says 11/16 on UPS’ site. Here’s hoping otherwise Thursday it is, I suppose.

Well you are doing better than me. I haven't had an update since I got the arrival scan. Looks like yours is all ready to go at least.

I bought in full AT&T 64GB Space Gray, and I am in Upstate NY. I was hoping I would get it a day or two early but now it is backed up one more day. Do not understand!

Finally some movement:
  • 11/13/2017 6:22 A.M.
  • The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / Your package was released by the clearing agency.
  • Incheon, KR
  • 11/13/2017 2:28 P.M.
  • Departure Scan
  • Incheon, KR
  • 11/10/2017 7:35 P.M.
  • Arrival Scan
I think this means it left Incheon on the 2:30 AM flight, and that the later-in-time clearing agency notice is just some kind of snafu.

Well we made it to Anchorage this morning:

  • Anchorage, AK, US
  • 11/13/2017 4:27 A.M.
  • Arrival Scan
  • 11/13/2017 6:22 A.M.
  • The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / Your package was released by the clearing agency.
  • Incheon, KR
  • 11/13/2017 2:28 P.M.
  • Departure Scan
Now I’m waiting to leave. Nothing yet but 4 UPS flights have left for Louisville already and 5 more come yet today so I’m hopeful.

256GB T-Mobile unlocked (paid in full)
Ordered Oct 27th around 2.10am CST.
Phone is still in Zhengzhou, stayed in waiting for clearance from Nov 9th through Nov 12th!
Hopefully it will depart by tomorrow.
 
I'm liking it - you can see my other posts in the battery life threads and one that's discussing the landscape mode missing vs the Plus. i don't think you'll regret it.

I do miss the rotating home screen but I understand they'd have to hide the text labels if we rotated the narrower screen to landscape on the home screen. And I miss the 2-column mode in settings, mail, notes, and others. But it's not a deal breaker.

And widescreen movies work pretty well with it, especially if I do the "3-finger tap and slide to zoom" to fill up the usable screen with a movie without encroaching on the notch. And using the usual "double tap on the movie to expand it" actually results in less lost edges with widescreen movies than expanding the movie with my 7+. When watching actual 16:9 TV shows is where the Plus model's screen aspect ratio shines more, but it can't replicate the deep blacks of the X screen.


Appreciate the info, Also glad to hear you’re liking it. In real life I have yet to hear anyone really say they don’t like it. In fact they love it BUT it took some serious getting to. I’m coming from a 7+ as well, when saw my new X case, I laughed a little. It’s tiny.
Looks like we’ve got some shipping movement today too finally lol

Glad to hear it! Ahh yes, me too I love those viewing options only available on the plus. Sounds like it takes some getting used to and I can't wait. I see we're finally seeing some movement too! Enjoy your X.
