hey guys i plan on upgrading from my iPhone 6s Plus to a 2nd gen iphone X and plan on buying it in a AT&T store. What are my chances of getting one in the store when they are released. Please write back. I would appreciate it. Thanks
 
So much easier to pre order. iPhone shows up on release day. No need to guess if the selected store will have the phone.

Just going back to last Nov on X release date. There were aa handful of stores in the Philly area (And there are a lot of stores) that only had maybe 2 Space Gray, 2 Silver (Total of two 64gb, and two 256), that was it and they were gone with in 10-15 min.

Stock sloooooooly improved by mid, late Nov. when I looked at iStockNow site, many X's at local Apple stores..1 might pop up at a Target - But even then you had to act fast!

It's just easier to preorder, save the aggravation. Yeah staying at until 3am (East coasters...as many of us have to wake up a few hours later to go to work) 12am West Coast, kinda stinks. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Depends on where you are, what city as some waitied for a while before they got the X. Also depends on how many Apple has on hand.

You really need to preorder.
 
hey guys I have a quick question for you. I plan on upgrading from my iPhone 6s Plus to the second gen iPhone X can anyone tell me step by step how the pre order procedure works on AT&T website. I would greatly appreciate it. Please write back. Thanks.
 
what too no ? all you do is put your pre order in then when it get closer this keep a eye on your card once your card been charged then you no your pre order is ready too ship out but i would wake up around 11:55 pm so you can be the 1st too order

So all I have to do is when the pre order goes live I just choose my pricing plan and that’s it
 
I begun pre ordering 4 gens back. Then pick it up at ups/fedex locations that AM. On way to work. I never liked the feeling lining up like a beggar.
 
I’d pre-order too. If you can’t be home for the delivery (or you don’t feel comfortable pre-signing and having it left at your door), you can just pick it up later that day from UPS or FedEx. If you’re financing the purchase through AT&T, you can pre-order from the Apple website or AT&T’s - personally, I have more trust in Apple’s website and ordering than AT&T’s, but YMMV. I’ve used both in the past with success.

Interestingly enough, last years orders were from ATT site, Apple app and site were down 3 minutes past 3am and att went in right away. Usually it is the other way around. Im not even sure how to do it this year...I usually order my phones through Apple store app for quick results through Apple Pay etc.

I'll have to bring myself up to speed as to the quick check out process. tricks etc.

Why do that to yourself. There may be a line and you'll be forced to stand by people you don't want to stand by for an extended period. I'm ordering the X Plus via AT&T on day 1.
 
hey guys have a quick question for you is there a way i can pre order the new iPhone x 2nd gen a day after the pre order date. Please let me know. I’d really appreciate it. Please write back. Thanks.
 
Preorders usually sell out within minutes for launch day delivery. So you can preorder the day after preorders start but you will probably not get it launch day.
 
Yes you can pre-order anytime after pre-orders go live.
Once it is available to the public it's just a normal order.

Now. Like mentioned above. The other question is, are you expecting to get the phone on release day? If so, there are two options. Be awake and order the second that pre-orders go Live. Or go find a line to stand in to get launch day phone.

If you don't mind a few days to few weeks after launch then the day after may be fine to simply ensure you get one.

So what you are saying i can pre order the day after pre orders go live? I can stand waiting a few days to weeks for a phone.
