iPhone X Orders Now Widely Shipping to Customers as Delivery Dates Continue to Improve

[fathergll]

iirc, the s models have updated internals with the same exterior. Since it has a glass back, is the 8 “really a 7s”?

It has a lot more in common with the X than it does with the 7.

Was the iPhone 7 really a 7? It was just a 6S with updated specs. How did we jump up to iPhone 8 on a design thats been in place since 2014. Because they slapped glass on the back? I'm not knocking the phone as I have an 8 and it's great.

The naming of iPhones at this point is just stupid which I think we can all collectively agree on.

Well said
[doublepost=1509651425][/doublepost]My apple store delivery of 11-18th December for a silver 256gb (I didn't purchased mine until about 6am PST) has now been moved up to 1-8 December, so that's a 10 day improvement. I can sit and stare at my iPhone X case until then...that was delivered already! Damn teasers!!

Same here exactly, but I was 7:30 am order time

The whole iPhone 1, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5S thing definitely set the expectation that a new number would mean a radically different design...but they got it so right with the 6 that I think it's hard to expect much more. They now build these phones like they're going to have a case on them, and the front has less and less character especially now that it's moving to just a screen. So, my guess is that the whole "S" concept is going away, every phone will just have a number from now on.

I was on Apple upgrade plan and preapproved on Monday. Got same change during night
[doublepost=1509634415][/doublepost]
Same for me

Just checked the tracking and mine is now scheduled to deliver on the 6th. Pretty good for not expecting it until Thanksgiving.

Who are these lucky people, mine is 17-24 Nov and its still at same date

Mine still says Nov 17-24 with my order still in progress...just take my damn money! I'm starting to panic and think the order never existed even though it's on my order section.

Update: Guess what happened. I must've been on their ******** or something because after I called Apple asking about how would I expect a change in my order status (it's been sitting in Order in Progress and scaring the bejesus out of me because the first time I tried to pre-order, AT&T screws me up and had me on the reserved list). I get an email saying my order has updated. I check to see and whaddaya know: "Order in Progress, Delivers NOVEMBER 20 - NOVEMBER 27". I was November 17-24th previously.

 

[NataliePalombi]

Mine had a ship date of 2-10 November. This morning, it is on its way and will be here 3 November!!! Thanks ATT!!!

Ahhh so jealous! I ordered mine on the 27th and it still says "Estimated ship dates: November 2, 2017 - November 10, 2017"... It was a 256GB Silver model.

... But he says he loves the energy of the apple store around launch date. Even though stressful at times everyone has a positive energy, and the excitement in the air is very tangible...

I am the same way - I don't work in an Apple store but I've always enjoyed high-pressure, high-stress work. The times when everyone else groans and gets frustrated or dreads it... That's when I'm in my element! Starbucks was a great job for me, as was working in an electronics dept during Black Friday

So I was up and ready at 2:45AM and the Apple store wasn't up at 3:01AM where I was until 3:09AM. I quickly click through what I want: Silver, 256GB Model, AT&T carrier, Apple Care+ with payment in full. I get the "We need to verify with your carrier settings" and am on the reserved list. Yeah, no. I try it again and it goes through with the estimated delivery date of Nov 17th-24th.

I read the news and the forums about delivery dates improving. I get excited and check my status: Order in Progress, Delivers on Nov 17-24th. I get worried and decide to call Apple - gets told to just check on my order status essentially. Okay, fine. I realized I forgot to ask whether I can change my shipping from home address to being able to pick it up in store (I don't mind the wait, I just hoped it would ship to the store instead because I'd have horrible experiences with home delivery - my MacBook Pro Retina was left right outside my front door in the rain and my Apple Watch was placed outside of my neighbor's door...thank goodness I was tracking it 24/7 so I realized it wasn't on my doorstep. I was informed that a signature was REQUIRED for them but that never happened). Informed that I wasn't able to change from home shipping to in store pickup and to check the order status.

Great.

I check my order status again and lo' and behold, "Order in Progress, Delivers Nov 20- 27". I was November 17-24th previously.
Please tell me I wasn't the only one.

Check your ATT stores, I just walked in and got the same phone (Silver, 256GB Model, AT&T carrier, Apple Care+ with payment in full) today. Same problems with ordering at launch. Was in the 17 - 24 group, cancelled order this afternoon. I really did not expect the store to have any in stock, just thought I would stop in a look at any demo model they had. Surprised the crap out of me was in and out in about 20 minutes. The manager had tags he was placing on the phones in the back stock room to reserve as people checked in. It looked to me he had about 10-15 tags in his hand when I got mine (12 noon).

Dang, wish I had done that instead. Just called the closest AT&T store and they said they were all sold out this morning as well as the others in my area. I'm ready to just throw in the towel and expect a delivery date of 2018.

 

[ryguy2303]

Ended up canceling the order. Have my iPhone X reserved for pickup today. Better than waiting another 2-3 weeks...

 

[Davesdeviceis8770]

Same here exactly, but I was 7:30 am order time

same here, 7.30 am et 10-27

 

[TimeSquareDesi]

Ugh. Based on these forums, so many people are getting their phones sooner by going to the store locally..... I tried this today, waiting an hour and was told that the model I wanted was sold out (people that were in front of me on line bought all the available stock...)

So I still have the nov 17-24 delivery window but want thto phone asap bc I have ADD and hate that I'm checking the order status 15 times per hour

 

[Angieagosto]

Mine was scheduled for November 17-24, and this morning I woke up to an email that said it had shipped for delivery on the 8th! Then I checked UPS tracking, and it'll actually be here Monday the 6th.

Well done, Apple. I much prefer "under promise, over deliver" instead of "over promise, under deliver".

For reference, mine is a 64gb silver AT&T model, ordered on the iPhone Upgrade Plan.

Yay! Lucky you, I hope I receive that email soon! LOL

Originally got a Dec 11-18 delivery date. Last week I got bumped to Nov 16-24. And today I was charged and my order is preparing for shipment! Hopefully I’ll have it by the end of the week! Good on Apple for moving so fast on these (despite my oversleeping self on preorder night)

How long does it usually take for “preparing for shipment” to turn into shipped?

Congrats on the progress! Did you pay for it out right? Apple upgrade program? And did you get it through Apple or a wireless carrier?

Thanks! IUP, direct from Apple. Updated to shipped this morning, Sitting in Chinese customs. Apple is quoting a Nov 15 delivery, UPS doesn’t have an estimate yet. Based on other people’s experience with UPS beating Apple’s estimates by a few days, I’m cautiously optimistic it will be here sooner.

 

[TimeSquareDesi]

Just checked my CC statement - I was charged $99.42 today which is just the tax.

To my peeps that had their phones shipped, when does this turn into "preparing for shipment"???

I was charged tax yesterday at 3 ish in the afternoon, immediately it was preparing. Woke up this morning to find that almost exactly twelve hours later my first loan payment was processed and my phone was shipped.

Also ups just updated; made it through customs, delivery Friday. Woo!

 

[interval28]

Exact same thing happened to me. I refreshed my order status WHILE ON THE PHONE with rep and it switched from nov 17th-24th to nov 20th-27th.
I ordered on oct 27th at 12:06 am pst

Mine finally showed "shipped" as of Saturday AM, due to deliver via FedEx by 8PM CST today.
I kept trying all weekend to use the "customize delivery" options on the FedEx site (hold at FedEx location, deliver to different address, etc.) but all of those options were restricted/greyed out.
Well now I have a delivery update - they left it on my doorstep... YIKES.

Scary but exciting. You go home and enjoy it for all of us without one yet!!

Yo peeps - whoever got their date bumped to nov 17-24 due to the banks technical glitch - does anyone have their phone shipped yet?

my order did not go through on preorder night so i reordered the next morning and contacted apple. They then moved my order from a december window to the new nov 17-24 window (the window i had the first time i ordered).


Just wondering if anyone who had similar issues has had their phone ship yet.....

thanks guys.

Earlier in the week, I saw that Apple had posted a bill pending on my credit card so I've been waiting for the whole week to get an email from them saying that my iPhone was on the way...nope.

So mine was in 'Order in Progress' today and just checked now. I see a "Unable to cancel order" and a blue "Why?" - I look up to see that they're Preparing to Ship. So that's one good news - I don't have high expectations since delivery date is still Nov 20-27th so I don't plan on seeing that status change until late next week.

 

[AlleyezonRod]

Who are these lucky people, mine is 17-24 Nov and its still at same date

My date is also Nov 16-24th and my iPhone is finally in Alaska hopefully it will arrive on the 16th if I’m lucky

Have you received your iPhone?

 

[TimeSquareDesi]

Have you received your iPhone?

APPLE (pre-ordering this year) SUCKS.

why? i placed my order at like 3:10am on the night of pre-orders and my status said 'order in progress' for 2 weeks straight! zero movement!!!!!!!

so this past friday, i cancelled my order and on sunday morning, i picked up the same exact phone that i ordered from a local apple store! waking up in the middle of the night was a waste of time in this case. my wife ordered hers at the same time too and hers is coming later this week.

but i got my phone even before apple shipped it! i impatiently waited 2 weeks until i could not take it anymore and got one myself after a bit of due diligence.

so yes, i got my phone and i am in f*cking love with it. coming from a 6 plus, this thing absolutely flies and i told myself im not going to drown it with 50,000 apps like my 6. i have like 5-7 apps on it now and im keeping it this way. the phone is so silky smooth and the glass and extra weight of it make it feel like you're using a rolex branded iphone.
