If you're wondering why you're not getting your iPhone Nov. 3rd!
Just check your local craigslist & that'll tell you. Already 8+ on Seattle's sub-section for $1500+ USD
 
Most resellers still have stock for 3rd November here in the UK. I could not face spending £1700 over 2 years...
 
tiny bit annoying, my email order confirmation said 3 Nov, but my order status on my account says 2-3 weeks. Still, hardly the end of the world.
 
Okay, so this may sound like a stupid question, but if I ordered a phone through Verizon, is the shipping date entirely accurate? It says it will ship on November 3rd. I’ve always bought through Apple before, with no middle-man, and I was wondering that since Verizon is acting as a middle man, are they just guessing?
It means it will be there ON the third with Verizon. Trust.

It slipped drastically because of you MR! You shared the secrets of how to order it fast using it app. Lol

Not necessarily. I was refreshing both, app and web site (UK) I managed to order through web site 2 each colours, and minutes after I had finished the app was still off line.
Not fast enough though. Delivery estimated 13-20 November.

So there is one guy I have seen here in Seattle that goes to EVERY ONE of our local stores and literally walks out with two backpacks full of new iPhones without fail.. I have seen him both at U Village, and Bellevue.
 
Well so much for the pre approval process although fast it took me 12-15 minutes before I could even get in with the apple app on my phone. Once completed my space gray 256 GB was always 2-3 weeks at November 17-24 At least it is not months but had hoped this process would snag me a phone like I got my 7 Plus on opening day oh well such is life. I am starting to get too old to stand in lines for hit movies and maybe same for smartphones. I am not sure if next year the IUP I am on is worth continuing or not we will see what the "11" looks like


Same exact thing for me. The website came up before the app did. And since I do the preapproval process on Monday, it wouldn’t let me order through the website. Firstworldproblems
 
Oh man! The Apple Store didn't come online in the San Franciscan Effing Bay Area until 12:12am... AT&T created an ERROR CODE all frigging night long.. Apple store finally allowed me to place and then said it couldn't contact AT&T to verify info so gave me a reservation number.. I have that from a screenshot. They said they'd send an email, haven't gotten one yet an hour later.. AT&T finally gave me a phone with a Nov3rd ship date, but I'm suspect! Don't know that will happen.. Damn, what a frigging joke!
 
Is it possible to change the credit card used? I got confirmation but wanna change the card used for purchase??
 
My 4s officially was laid to rest the other day. My app froze and the phone tried to restart but now stays on the Apple logo forever and doesn’t go beyond that. I got on and got the 256 silver with November 3rd shipping. I have entered 2017!!!
 
So I purchased an iPhone X on Verizon's website first, then followed that by another purchase on Apple's website. Both situations I was required to put in my carrier info, but both went through no problem. Is this going to be an issue?
The same thing happened to me, I got through Verizon first but I didn’t trust them so I tried on Apple too and it went through both time. Guess we’ll see what happens.
 
So is there still going to be in-store stock available for November 3rd like a post here claimed??
 
Anyone else see this after ordering from ATT?

‘Your iPhone has been reserved.
Your reservation number is:
When we’re able to reach the carrier systems, we will email you at …”

For people who have encountered this in the past, any idea how much was your order delayed vs other people who ordered at same time?
 
Did anyone else get "Your iPhone upgrade is Pending" message on the Apple Store App? I haven't got an email yet regarding the reservation to pickup at Apple Store on Nov. 3

Yes I did the Apple upgrade via app and was able to select a 256 gray for pickup on Nov 3. I picked my time and completed order. Haven’t received a confirmation email yet and it doesn’t show up on my order history.

When I go to start the process again, it says my upgrade is pending. I ordered a few minutes after midnight.
 
I got a "reservation number." I have no idea of that means I'll get a phone early or not.

Does anyone know how Apple's reservation system works?
Same here. It means that if you service provider okays it then you can pay for it and still recieve it on week that they provided you...i think.

Looks ilke orders have slipped to 5-6 weeks.

The only way I've done this is to return it at the store and then immediately buy it back. I did this with a pair of AirPods. The employee was a little worried that once it entered into the system, it could technically be purchased by someone else due to being in stock, but it worked out.
