iPhone X Now Available for Pre-Order

I was going insane because I had to order through ATT Premier (Business) and they created a weird queue system where you wait your turn... finally got in at 3:30 and ordered 4 phones. Btw ATT Premier still has some for Nov 3.

Did you get an email confirmation? I didn’t, but the app said the order went through. When I check my order history it says I have no orders. Ugh!

Both mine and my wife’s are the same as you. Hope it doesn’t mean we are losing out.
 
Yes here in Berlin, Germany the App was still down, while it worked on the Mac. Was a little slow with entering all the information there so it slipped from next week to 2-3 weeks. Oh well. I guess they really had just a very limited stock, so what can you do?

Total BS. The store wouldn't open for 10 extra minutes on my phone.....tried on the computer and it directed me to my Apple store app since I pre-registered there.

The Apple Store App was a disaster for me. It was my only method to use for the iPhone Upgrade Program. I ended up having to reboot just to get it to load past the store down screen. I was then able to get it to load and get in to the screen where it showed my pre-approval choice at 16 minutes after. Then it kept giving me a bunch of random errors. I ended up doing TouchID to approve about 6-7 times. At 19 minutes after I got an order number and date of November 17-24. I screenshotted all of this. I still haven’t gotten a confirmation email, and it can’t find my order number or any order history. But when I go into the upgrade program link it says it’s oending so that makes me think something is going through.

This was super frustrating and not at all what I was promised by the AOS Executive Relations person I spoke with the other day. It was supposed to be a quick tap to pull up my pre-approval and go. What worries me is it said something about paying for the initial amount but I don’t remember it doing that unless it just used Apple Pay, but I don’t see anything on my bank yet. And I’m so tired. I hate how Apple disrespects their best customers by making them get up in the middle of the night.

Don’t be frustrated. My app did the same. I eventually got a confirmation email but my bank account hasn’t been charged yet and my upgrade still says pending. I think the upgrades will stay at pending until the phone delivers and we activate them.

Lol! First placed order right when store opened and was given a reservation number. I tried again and ordered 40 minutes after store opened and in my area was able to get a 64gb space gray for in store pickup Nov 3rd. When I looked at shipping times, it said 4-5 weeks.

No dice from me. App gave me trouble and the website gave me trouble as well. I’m moving on...unless they will soon launch simfree model.
 
Nov 3rd!

I had been waiting by my iPad, iPhone, MacBook Pro (on VPN across the country just in case). Neither Apple store app, carrier nor apple site worked. In the end it was a friend who got through on my iMac sitting with a sheet of paper with all my account info who got through! So thankful for her.
 
Silver 256GB.
Damn apple.com/de store didn't open up until until 10 min after :01. Had the page of the right configuration opened from last night. Clicked my way through without reading (with prestored shipping data).
Still 2-3 weeks.

I blame the 10 min delay.
 
....Well that was wack. Apple website and apple store app stayed dark for me until 12:10. By that time it was 1-2 weeks. Verizon let me preorder about 5 minutes early, but had the wrong shipping address (family account) and wouldn't let me change it. Apple finally let me in and I went through the preorder process on the website, only for it not to be able to confirm with Verizon. So I ended up with a reservation number saying they reserved my phone and would email me to finish the sale. That page went away on its on (timed out) and it didn't ever send me that email even after waiting 30 minutes. So I went back into the apple store app on my phone and it let me make the preorder and pickup in the store for nov 3 (an option I didn't hear anyone talk about before today) and let me finish the transaction and put some money down on the device.

Anyone have a similar experience with the reservation and then ordered it anyway using another app?

Nerve wracking pain in the ass. Wankers insisting that there would be plenty of supply for launch and that constraints were all an Apple ploy can eat my butt.

Based on other launches I was focused on trying to order with the apps. Finally at 3-4 minutes past the hour (after Macrumors claimed it was up on the app store) I tried browser on my Mac and it started the order process.

Had to re-enter all information.... then, got to payment and got denied Citizen's First with some mealy mouthed crap about getting an explanation within 24-48 hours of why they rejected it. P.S. Citizen's First, I have an 800+ credit score and have never been denied credit in my life, won't be doing business with you again.

By the time I got through the order process with AT&T next order had already slipped out to 2-3 weeks from launch. Now I have to debate lining up hours in advance at a local store for a slim shot of getting one on launch day.

UGH.

sorry you had issues, though I see no difference between the X And 7 launch stock wise. if you have issues ordering you will always miss launch day, that has been a fact for many years.

The shiny black 7 was far harder to order than the x.

My order has vanished and BarclayCard decided to decline the transaction for some reason. I guess this means I'm going to be getting an iPhone X next year now. My pre-order was for shipping on Friday 3rd Nov too. :(

I had the same exact problem with Barclay card, not an actual decline, but errors like 10 different communication errors.

Pretty much the same here. "The app is the best way to pre-order", yet I was waiting for 8 minutes past the hour before I decided it best to get on my mac. And because I had laid down all my cards on the app, I wasn't prepped for the desktop site, so I had to fiddle around shakily with the friggen serial and IMEI numbers and eventually got through. But then the reservation wouldn't stick! And it went from a booking of the 11th of Nov to the 2nd of Dec. Just a sad, sad excuse for literally the biggest company in the world.

You'd think this was their first rodeo the way things panned out, but its the same BS every. single. year.
 
Why does it need to know a carrier if you're ordering an unlocked phone on the US site? Are there any differences in the carriers? Says it delivers with a carrier's SIM. Confused here. Was ready to order as soon as the site was up, but that one issue screwed me over when I kept thinking over and over again what I'm supposed to do, and now it's at 4-5 weeks for delivery (((( Wanted to order for using abroad, not in the US.
 
Ordering was an absolute breeze. Got in via the app about 3 minutes after midnight where both my IUPs were ready and waiting. Verified my orders via Touch ID and got both phones coming on launch day.

Ordered at 2:30am CST, silver 64Gb, through Verizon app. Everything went smooth, and for Nov 3rd delivery. Pretty amazed, all the hype made it sound like it would be impossible to get...

The iPhone X features the first major redesign Apple has introduced in years with a 5.8-inch OLED display that is nearly bezel-free with no Home button. It also introduces a TrueDepth camera that supports a new Face ID facial recognition system and it supports Qi wireless inductive charging.

Apple's iPhone X is in high demand and all of the rumors we've heard suggest supplies are incredibly limited. Those hoping for launch day delivery should order as soon as possible, or a months-long wait could be in store.

Pre-orders are currently available in the first wave launch countries including Andorra, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Kuwait, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, the UK, the US and the US Virgin Islands.

All of the major U.S. carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile -- are accepting pre-orders for the new devices. Major online retailers including Best Buy and Target are also accepting pre-orders starting today.

Pricing on the iPhone X begins at $999 for a 64GB model and goes up to $1,149 for a 256GB model. Pricing for iPhone Upgrade Program customers starts at $49.91 per month and goes up to $56.16 per month. iPhone Upgrade pricing includes AppleCare+ support.
