The T-Mobile shipping times page now shows 11/3 -11/10 for all iPhone X as of 7:30am PST. I don’t know how that is still possible, but I ordered over the phone at 1am here and still ended up with 11/3. Seems dubious.
 
I’m in Apples iPhone Upgrade Program and use T Mobile and Apple says my order will ship to my house and I can ship back my iPhone 7. Thought this was not allowed with T Mobile. Fingers crossed something didn’t go screwy with my order.

For what model?? I got a confirmation email for T-Mobile 256 Gb Space Gray at 12:04am and got delivery estimates from 11/10 to 11/17. It seems this was the case for all the orders of this model. I´m really hoping this is just an error and apple will be delivering mine on the 3rd.
 
I used the Apple Store app on my phone. App Store wasn’t open until about 12:05. Worked flawlessly. I will have the new iPhone on November 3rd!
 
For me, both the Apple store website as well as the Apple Store app did not get refreshed until about 12:21am PDT. Same thing EVERY year :mad:. Why do others see the store get refreshed so much quicker?! Is that an ISP caching issue?

Anyway, got my order in through the VZW website with a temporary VZW account that I can now cancel (my carrier is AT&T) with 11/3 as delivery. Of course VZW charges a $30 activation fee, but oh well. The VZW website let me process an order as early as 11:58pm PDT!
 
Went just like I expected. Although I placed my order fo iPhoneX Gray 256GB on the Apple Web Site as soon as the page came up I got Nov 10-17 shipping (which of course could still change to sooner but probably won't). Surprisingly I did not have any issues checking out with PayPal which I really feared!

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.


Same. Exactly the same. So disappointing.

This has happened to me every time I can remember. I don’t expect to be first, but by the same token I don’t expect to ALWAYS be last. There has to be a better way to manage the new iPhone lottery.

Agreed. I only started buying from Apple (as opposed to a carrier) when they released the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program; and now I never have one on launch day.

Interesting didn't even think of that, I really wanted the Verizon version of the phone for use with Tmobile. I'm assuming you purchased the phone at full price and also assuming it comes unlocked by default.

Hmmm I ordered from Apple web site Tmo version as soon as the site came up and got Nov 10-17 delivery.

Hmm... Still waiting on my 2 'reservations' made ASAP after the store opened...
I had a reservation too, but I didn't believe that. So I kept adding the phone to cart and checking out and about 3 seconds later it gave me the option to check out my cart. Good luck with the reservation, your shipping is probably 6+ weeks. Reservations dont reserve shipping slots.
[doublepost=1509117250][/doublepost]
As long as my reservation gets me the delivery window from when it happened... I'll be ok with it.
It doesnt.

I first got a reservation confirmation but since I know it doesnt save shipping slots, I kept adding the iphone to cart and it let me checkout about 30 seconds after. My order was placed at 12:04 PST.

I got my reservation email at 3:02am PST.

The apple store app is always, always faster. My store was loaded at 12:03am PST

Yeah, I have no idea. Someone else in the thread said they ordered 256 from T-Mobile this morning and ended up with 11/10-11/17. I’m sure it has to a lot to do with the demand for the 256gb model over the 64. And perhaps more people ordered from Apple as opposed to T-Mobile directly? No clue. My status hasn’t slipped yet, so I’ll give it today and see if it indeed does stay at 11/2 for 11/3 arrival.

Pretty sure you don't know this for a fact...

BTW - it wouldn't let me place another order - said I already had a reservation.

You can deny it all you want, it's happened before to me so good luck. I got a reservation AND placed an order. Check attached images. It says "maintain delivery priority", however when I placed an order via the reservation system before that was reserved at 12:03am, the shipping was 1 month+ out.

My card was just charged for 256 space grey arriving 11/03.

Yep, full price - which means I own it, which means it is unlocked.
 
I honestly think, and this may just be me convincing myself I made a good decision, that Apple really hit a home run by eliminating a 128 option. 256 is overkill IMO. I realized under the new filing system I only use about 27GB on my current 7+, other files are either in iCloud storage or I might just not use that much space....either way I found it really easy to order the 64GB Space Grey.
The Apple Store app had to go live around 2:04 CT i think and I received my confirmation email at 2:06 CT :)
 
Is there anyone from Canada who has day 1 delivery? For me, the store opened 10 or 11 minutes late, so when I was able to make an order, it was already 2-3 weeks delay. I kept killing/relaunching the app, but didn't bother to check the website. Maybe I should have, but it's not a long wait either way.

Got my order in at 3:02 eastern - received my Reservation Confirmation email but waiting on the next email " when we're able to reach the carrier systems" - ATT - Anyone else still waiting for that email?

This happens every time. Whether the store opens for you on time or not is just a lottery in disguise. If it opens for you on time, then you win and your prize is day-one delivery. If not, you lose and you get delayed.

Everybody and their brother is.

Apple had better honor those reservations, that’s all I have to say.

yes. same thing here...ordered at 3:14am EST, got the reservation email at 5:44, and still no second email.
 
Placed my order at 3:10am EST through apple website. iPhone X 256GB SG. ETA Nov 17th - 24th :(...I could have placed the order sooner but Apple pay was not working for me so i had to check out by entering my credit card info. Hopefully these dates will change :Fingerscrossed:
