Hong Kong iPhone X Orders

[haruhiko]

I got mine last Friday from carrier (CSL) - Silver 256GB, I ordered Space Gray initially they said it's really hard to get space gray right now

CSL just sent an SMS to me today and offered the 256GB Space Grey. Anyway I’ve got mine from Apple Store reservation and am happily using it since then.

Holy Cow ! Use Robots to book an iPhone X ?? Whoa ! How is that possible ? Can someone please explain me ?

Possible that Apple may be cracking down on the bots?

Today I noticed that in the Apple Store app the "Reserve Now" button now redirects to open the page in Safari rather than using the iOS app which it did previously. Is it doing that for everyone?

Apple ain't done s***, they have been putting a blind eye on bots for years for some reasons.

The redirection probably is just to lower server load since the bots/scripts have been hammering them hard enough on the website alone.

Someone in Singapore placed an AOS order today (20 Nov), delivery 5-12 Dec. Meanwhile my Hong Kong AOS order placed 27 Oct is still showing delivery 2-9 Dec.

Very disappointing from Apple.

what is a AOS Order ?

Apple Online Store, basically regular order for home delivery.

Two orders pending right now:

Apple Online Store Hong Kong:
Order placed 27 Oct, expected delivery 2 Dec - 9 Dec

Apple Online Store Singapore:
Order placed 20 Nov, expected delivery 30 Nov - 7 Dec

Apple is really screwing Hong Kong over this time around.

I am in Hong Kong. I placed 2 orders on 27th Oct.

1) iPhone X 256Gb Space Grey (delivery 20th Nov to 28th Nov) and I received it on 20th Nov.

2) iPhone X 256Gb Silver (Delivery 28th Nov to 3rd Dec) and I surprisingly received it on 21st Nov.

I believe you should get yours soon. May be next week. The prices at Sintat in MK are low now which means the supply at Apple looks good.

Managed to get a reservation for pickup today, so I cancelled my 27 Oct order. Guess will now never know what the actual lead time would have been, except "too long".

Prices are now below cost.

I was just at Apple Store Canton Road and hawkers are selling SG $10300 and Silver $10200. And they are willing to haggle. This is vs $9888 store price.
