Oh well. Luckily my 6+ is still going strong. I’ve got ios11 on 2 iPads, so that’s enough to satisfy me for now. Whenever the new phone shows up will be good. It’ll still be fun to stay up and do the earliest preorder and see what they say for delivery dates. Lots of interesting threads to post to starting October 27 I bet.
Question. if the iPhone X order is delayed to February for me. Can I cancel the order because it might be worth just waiting 7 more months again
The one thing that gets me is they say its launching November 3rd - I highly doubt they hadn't started production when they announced the release date on September 12th.
Market crash incoming. When this many people will pony up $1k + for the iPhone, we are overdue. 
These type of articles attract the attention of scalpers and ramp up the odds for people that actually want to use the phone.
Kuo reported on iPhone X production already at 10.000 units a day and slowly ramping up like 10 days ago.
Thats what I figured, I agree they have had issues but I am sure production has started already.
I'm skeptical of this report. If Apple wasn't sure it would have ample supply at least so the first 30 minutes of pre-orders could get release day, why not just say "Fall 2017?" Hard dates indicate some confidence that they can at least get more than 5 of these out the door on 11/3.
I call bull ****. There will be delays, but I highly doubt production hasn't started.
Where's all those iPhone manufacturing plants Tim Cook promised Trump he would create in the USA?
A company like this shouldn't even have this kind of delay or problems with mass production!

Believe he's already weighed in to report that the 8/8+ sales are below expectations because, coming as a surprise to nobody, everyone's waiting for the X.
Right - my point is that I would trust a report like this if he was the source since he's pretty much the only one with any cred lately.
Great! The scalpers will be out in droves for this one. Thanks Apple!
Oh god the stakes are higher than ever this release to get that order in at 3:01 AM
Stay up and order at 12:00 AM on the 27th only to get "ships in 6-8 weeks" message after check out. Can't wait for all the bitching on here when servers crash and it takes people 2 hours to get an order through only to be told their X will be at their door steps sometime in the new year....
He reported on ~10,000 units/day, which is to be compared to first weekend sales of 13,000,000 iPhone 6s / 6s Plus.
It'll be the mother of backlog, hahaha...
Yup. Think I'll buy the max number. With my wife's credit card.
Think of it as a business opportunity honey!
well at least if i don't like it i can be sure that someone will pay me at least as much as i payed..
They probably didn't need all that much effort to put out the iPhone 8+ compared to the X. Still, I'm very glad now that I'm getting the 8+.
Basically, I'm just going to pretend that it's not being released until mid-January. No point in stressing over getting it sooner than that...
Can't wait for the new iPhone release in January, guys!
