Shipping estimates for the iPhone X have improved across Europe and Asia today, with many regional online Apple stores now quoting delivery within the first eight days of December.

France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom now all show shipping dates between December 1 and December 8, suggesting Apple's production ramp-up efforts are paying dividends well beyond U.S. shores.

Slight variations in shipping dates can be found in other European countries such as Italy and Spain, which show estimates between December 1 and 11. Meanwhile, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland currently give a 1 to 2 week estimate.

Elsewhere, regional online stores in Asia, including China, Japan, and Singapore, quote delivery dates of between 1 and 2 weeks. The same also goes for New Zealand, while Australia now offers a more specific date range of between December 1 and 8.

U.S. shipping estimates for iPhone X improved on Wednesday to 1 to 2 weeks, but prior to today, estimates across Europe and Asia remained at 2 to 3 weeks.

Back in early November, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company was working to ramp up iPhone X production week by week, with the aim of getting the new smartphone out to customers "as soon as possible."

Previously, rumors had suggested the device would be available in severely limited numbers until well into next year, but the balance between supply and demand already looks to be easing worldwide.

Still waiting for my X ordered 10/30 in Germany. Shipping is said to be in two weeks, so full 6 week delivery. Orders from 2 weeks ago received 3-4 week shipping, last weeks orders 2-3, this weeks orders 1-2, so everybody receives their iPhone early December and no improvement for old orders.

Any germans here who already received their devices?
 
So basically everyone who ordered 2 to 8 units of iPhone X in the hope of selling them all for large profits are approaching their 14 days returns period.

Having not sold them for more than the already absurd price tag they have returned these to Apple and the shipping estimates have all gone down. Looks like Ming Chi's supply constraint estimates were artificially inflated by people buying them not for themselves but to sell in the hope of making profit.

All those interns must have really helped!! :p

All joking aside, I’ve started to see a ton of people with X’s now and I’ve tried to go out of my way to ask them about it and I’ve yet to hear anyone say anything less than they are in love with it. Wife is pestering me to upgrade her 7 :rolleyes:.

I was a little indifferent on the direction Apple was going but after using it for a few weeks I’m sold. It’s a joy to use :apple:
 
I do feel a bit sorry for Apple. I am not a mindless fanboy (far from it) but it does seem to me that if they cannot meet demand they are criticised, "Isn't Cook supposed to be a supply chain guru?" etc., and when they can meet demand, many seem to conclude the product is selling poorly and hence a failure.

Yes, I ordered mine November 17th and received it the next day. I ordered via O2 Germany, though.

Fact is, this iPhone (X) is too darn expensive.
I can easily afford it but prices are just insane in *some* (erm sorry) many places around the world.

OMG finally someone who is saying this apart from me. I can't stress how frustrated I am due to not being able to buy the iPhone X online in Hong Kong Apple Store

You can get it quite easily...my wife ordered hers from smartone after launch day and could have picked it up yesterday but decided she no longer wants one due to the high cost. I got mine from smartone on launch day and have to say I really like it. The notch bothered me at first but you soon get used to it.
 
Better than many of us expected last month. I though it'd have been really hard to get one before Christmas but even ordering today you are almost sure to have the phone delivered before the end of the year.
Either they have less demand now, or they found a way to ramp up production.
