I had exactly the same thing, and was about to post the same question. Unfortunately can't call apple or use live chat to confirm an answer to this. Has it happened to anyone else in the past?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone X Pre-Orders Sell Out as Shipping Estimates Slip to 5-6 Weeks [Updated]

But iPhone upgrade program was a breeze. Launched Apple Store app and the first screen I saw was an X complete your purchase screen. Less than a minute later my phone was ordered.I’m in the same boat, I have a hard time trusting Verizon’s ship dates, the 256 gray stayed 11/3 for quite a while. I’m sure they were given a quota from Apple for how many they’ll be receiving if they haven’t already received them by now.
for me, the confirmation email came immediately (like 1 second after ordering)
I’ve waited in line for iPhones at Apple Stores in the past, and when you get in line, they assign you a reservation number and give you
You know, so did I. BUT... my only real color preference was to not have a white bezel on the screen, but that’s standard here. The back color doesn’t matter because I’ll have it in a case, but even if not, I like the White, too. Also, Apple Music, iCloud Photo Library, and iCloud Drive drastically reduce the need for space. My iPhone is 128 and I have a ton of apps, music, movies, and entire seasons of shows downloaded just to fill it up, but I could get away with 50gbs.
How can you know that? We have no proof that Apple produced equal amounts of both color.
It worked just fine for me and I have ATT. In store pick up was easier to get this year.
I ran into all sorts of problems. First off, I was asked last minute to order the iphone x for a family member as a gift, so I wasn’t able to prepare for the purchase according to the Macrumors article’s advice because the Apple store website, and therfore the Apple store app, was already down (I could be wrong, but I think it went down rather early this year). So at 12:00 I started refreshing the app on my phone (on LTE) and the site on my mac (on wifi) continuously, but neither loaded until 12:07. Then in the Apple store app, the only two options verizon verification gave me was to replace my number or add a new line. I wanted neither since this was supposed to replace my family member’s number. Regardless, I tried both options in combination with both my information and my family member’s information. Kept getting error messages using every combination. (Although for some reason I got further using my family member’s information.) Gave up and went to the website. Finally, the Verizon verification worked. Filled in all my billing and shipping information, and I kept getting errors trying to sign in with both my Apple ID and as guest. After several tries I was able to sign in as guest. By the time the order went through it was 12:23 and shipping slipped to 2-3 weeks. Honestly I don’t even remember if I used my number or my family member’s now, I tried so many things. I guess we can sort all that out when the phone eventually arrives. Too bad the gift is going to be so delayed. They really need to make it more straightforward to order as a gift for someone else.
Managed to get one (silver 256gb) for pick up on release in Australia. Deliveries had already blown out to 3 weeks within moments of the store being open to me.
Bring on next Friday.

In Germany delivery dates slipped to 2-3 weeks shortly after 9:06 am. So it took about 5 minutes until the first batch was sold out. At 9:21 all models still available for 2-3 weeks delivery, at 9:30 am: delivery estimate 4-5 weeks for all X models.
Obviously I was extremely lucky. Apple Store App on iPad came up for me at about 9:05:15 am (after frantically refreshing on three different devices). Rushed through from favourites to reloading/confirming address etc.
Finished order process at about 9:06 am. Got my silver 256 confirmed for delivery Nov 3.
Happy.

After I ordered my phone at three minutes after, I wanted to try the Apple site to see where times were, and it AND the app wouldn’t let me on until thirteen after, and this was on very good WiFi with compulsive refreshing.
someone said only 2 per household. I managed 3 (on accident) through the app. I woke up 30 minutes after (overslept) and panicked. quickly ordered two for t-mobile. Then realized my wife is still with ATT! It was too soon to change order, so i went back and placed a new order and it went through. Um... so I have a new ATT (t-mobile) with applecare if anyone wants
Despite a minor complication, my wife and I got 11/3 ship dates. Verizon went a few min early so I was done at 12:02.
We both went silver 256GB but at the time all were available.
I always have better luck through carriers direct (AT&T in the past, Verizon more recently) and it worked out that way again.

Thanks for replying. Have you had this happen to you before then? Do you know when they will retry and if it affects shipping estimate, as my order number said delivery Nov3!
