So she pays $900 and YOU pay the rest! Problem solved.
So this is what’s happens with these kids. They do take a job working in the factory. Overtime payments are a western concept Apple tries to impose on its suppliers so it feels good about making stuff in China. The “college” kids know the deal and they have to work hard, but they want to work, the work ethic is strong in China. But they live in a place with a compensation culture and demanding it is a scam people always try. So why not go public with an unpaid overtime compensation scam? They’ll get paid so the story goes away and they have nothing to lose. I live in China.
Apple doesn't make enough phones = Apple sucks at supply chain
Probably soon, and no usually once the SIM-free is available that means supply has mostly caught up and the carriers have met their launch commitments.
Yes, sort of. You can reserve for in-store pick up now, where you can ask for a device-only sale without providing account information. The carrier still gets credit toward its sales commitment.
The more likely explanation is that they delayed the release until they were comfortable that they could match supply more quickly. Remember they had lots of phones in stores on launch day. This is holiday shopping season so they want the phones to arrive before Christmas.
Technically it’s an overseas possession and not insular territory. It’s always been treated as a “separate” market from the US mainland.
Nah, the same happened with the 5s, the 6, the 6s, and 7. Remember this year there were 3 new phones released, not just 2.
Magnificent news!! All people wanting the best iPhone in the iPhone history will finally be able to get it soon and not become scalpers’ victims.
Shipping estimates for the iPhone X have improved to 1 to 2 weeks in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, suggesting Apple's efforts to ramp up production have successfully resulted in greater supply.
The 1 to 2 week shipping estimates are an improvement over the previous 2 to 3 week shipping estimates that have been available since November 15. iPhone X models ordered today in the United States and Canada will now arrive by early December, well ahead of the holidays.
For Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, iPhone X shipping estimates are still at 2 to 3 weeks, but those estimates should also improve over the course of the next few days.
In addition to improving shipping estimates for devices purchased now from the online Apple Store, Apple has also been sending out iPhone X pre-orders more quickly than expected. Many MacRumors readers who had late November and December shipping estimates after ordering have already received their devices or are expecting them soon.
Apple retail stores are also receiving regular shipments and customers who check stock on Apple.com early in the morning and use stock-tracking tools like iStockNow have been able to make purchases with no wait time.
Back in early November, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple 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."
Ahead of the iPhone X launch, rumors suggested the device would be heavily constrained and in short supply until well into 2018, but given the improvements we're already seeing, supply/demand balance will likely be reached earlier than originally expected.

Sounds like you got gypped.And I still have a pre-order set to be delivered by December 11th. What
It means all the rumors of their production were nonsense.
It is not a flop. iPhone X is a high price premium phone which not everyone has purchasing power to get it. Low percentage capable buyers does not translate flop phone.
It is also the first time in Apple history, they have a high price phone. Low percentage buyer with purchasing power to get it makes the phone available sooner.
