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. :(

Oh no. Def sorry to hear that. But, you know you’re not alone. Looks like most people will be getting their iPhone X next year anyways lol

[doublepost=1509099566][/doublepost]Finally got into the store at 2:03am CT. The store looked different from the previous version. Mine arrives November 10-17. I am out November 2-7, so not a problem.

I like being in the second wave. If first wave recipients report too many problems, I’ll just refuse to except the shipment.
 
I got a iphone being held for you confirmation at 12:09 due to att being overloaded, but no email yet and i dont see anything on my iphone upgrade program eligibility. Anyone know whats going on with that?

I had same issue - woke up this morning and nothing from Apple. Went back into the app and was able to place order with 5-6 week ship time. Went to ATT and upgraded same line got a 64 space grey with ship date of 11/2.
 
Just saw 4 iPhone Xs sold on ebay for $1,840. 256 GB. Oct 22 ebay pre-orders. Another one is for sale with a starting bid of $1,175.
 
Marvelous. Apparently Citizens didn’t think I could afford another IUP. Order did not go through. I should’ve bought it outright and changed to payment plan if needed.

Getting it in Launch Day would’ve been great, but I’m gifting my 8 Plus to my daughter for Christmas, so as long as I receive it before then, I’m good...I think...

May try the Apple Store on Launch Day if needed.

Ordered 256GB Space Gray using AT&T Next. Added $100 down payment to lower monthly cost. Shows December 11-18. At least that’s before Christmas.

I will be getting mine on 3 November 2017. Ordered 2 sets immediately.
I love it being so expensive and less people would have it.

Exclusive ..... not a chance. Get the red iPhone if your want something not everyone has.
 
Spent 15 minutes trying to get in. Got a month delay on delivery because of their terrible setup. not happy Apple
 
How is it possible you got an 11/3 date when you ordered an hour after it went on sale when those of us ordered within 1 minute with the same carrier and got 2-3 weeks?

Not sure. But I got to my desk (6:35am ET) and Apple had Nov 3 pickup windows for Space grey 256gb at 5th Ave. So I placed one, Citizens was fine this time and boom - iPhone at 8am on Launch Day. I'm stoked. Used to wait outside that store drunk all night for onsales :)
 
Still 5-6 weeks .... sounds like a flop to me.....

-Goes to 3 months, Apple is constraining supply to increase fervour and hype and/or poor at supply chain!

-Stays at 5-6 weeks for a while, flop!

-Stays at 5-6 weeks for a while, bravo supply chain!

Which is it?

What would make you happy and/or convince you otherwise?

Not Apple Defense Force, but armchair speculation without hard data is surely utterly meaningless and clouded by ones viewpoint going in.

My post is purely based on reports of constrained supply and “everyone in the world” waiting for it. I was honestly expecting months of delays after the first few minutes.

I totally agree with that. I expected mine after Xmas, and it’s been hyped into the stratosphere.

But we’re putting a lot of faith in rumours and “analysts”.

I wonder it’s simply that it’s a very expensive phone, and consequently not nearly as many people are biting - which could be construed as a misjudgment of the market, or a flop, admittedly.
 
Probably will not be charged until the phone is about to ship.
My credit card got charged about 40 minutes after my order. Shipping to Germany - amazing to be one of the first ones ;-)

Sorry Apple, not getting up at 3am to buy a freaking phone and won't be buying one when it's available months after original release. Beside we're just days away from seeing iPhone XI leaks :p
 
Ordered thru VWZ app. For me it went live at 2:57AM ET. Got my confirmation at exactly 3:00AM! Got a silver 256gb with 11/3 delivery! I tried using the Apple app but it didn’t go live for me until about 6 minutes after preorders opened up.

Verizon really had it together this year, 2 screens and I was done! Very excited about this phone can’t wait until we all start playing with them! Good luck everyone!
 
Many models are available for pickup at stores Nov 3

After the iPhone app errored out several times, I got my pre-order done before they all sold out. My iPhone X should arrive on Friday, November 3rd. I was up at 1:50am Central time to place my order. I did the same thing last year for iPhone 7. I think getting prequalified for the upgrade on the iPhone upgrade program is what helped me get this done. The errors really had me worried though!
 
One of the fast orders to date for me. The app opened at 2:03 CST and I checked out at 2:05. Got the ATT SG 64gb with a Nov 3 date.

I don't think they care. The rest of us who did get up really early will enjoy our iPhone X. Do you base your purchasing decisions on rumors of the next iPhone? If so, how's that original iPhone working out for you?
 
Something is not right...

I can go to ATT’s website, select any configuration, it has a ship date of November 02 - 10. How is that possible ? Something does not add up. If I would have to guess I would trust ATT here.


Kind of in a pickle...

I got in through the app. At around 3:04 AM, got all the way to end (silver, 256, att, iPhone program) and citizens crapped out and I got one of those “your phone is reserved” notices

Tried again, but shipping slipped 2-3 weeks, but I still went through it and just bought it out right...

Lol now I’m wondering if I should call ATT’s bluff and do another order with them... and cancel the order with the longest ship date...

Also curious to see, what kind of ship dates this reservation will get me ? I did get the email acknowledging I have a reserved phone. Any ideas if we can get more info on these reservations ?
 
I was able to get into the AT&T preorder line at 2:50 AM EST and picked up two 256GB Silver/Space Gray models with 11/3 delivery date.
