Shipping estimates for the iPhone X have improved to 2 to 3 weeks across Europe, suggesting Apple's efforts to ramp up supply and production are starting to see some success. The 2 to 3 week shipping estimates are an improvement over the previous 3 to 4 week shipping estimates that have been available since early November.
The new 2 to 3 week shipping estimates are available in all European countries where the device has launched, including the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and more.
iPhones ordered today in these countries will arrive well ahead of the holidays, in early December.
Other countries in North America and Asia Pacific still list 3 to 4 week shipping estimates, but the last time shipping estimates improved, we saw better estimates in Europe that then expanded to the United States. We expect to see U.S. shipping estimates drop soon.
In addition to improving shipping estimates from devices purchased from the online Apple Store, we've also been hearing continual reports from MacRumors readers who have seen their pre-ordered iPhone X models shipping out much sooner than expected. Many who originally had December shipping estimates have already received their devices or are expecting them in November.
Apple retail stores are also receiving regular shipments and customers who check stock on Apple.com early 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 could be reached earlier than originally expected.

Wow. I guess, they really make sure that customers get them first. I get it though, but it's a bummer to be a carrier employee now. I bet Apple has the same policy for their staff as well.
I too was at this fork in the road and opted for the 10. The 8 plus and 10 are not so far off in price so i said why not, i'll throw in a little extra $ and go for the X. i also took this opportunity to join the upgrade program so I can upgrade to the ten plus next year
US prices don't include tax/vat/whatever you want to call it. If you exclude the tax from the price in other countries, you'll see that you end up with roughly the same price as in the US.
Sort of, yes. Some friends of mine that work at Apple Retail were told they had to wait in the line for a reservation, just like a customer. No preferential treatment, or discounts on the iPhone X at launch.
That and that there are plenty of high end smartphones that cost $850, so $999 is no big deal.
The screenshot in the article clearly shows British Pound. The rate is 1.32 (Pound to USD), which gives us $1320 for the base model. I paid for the same model $1087 after tax in the US, so it's a $233 difference. I would not call it "roughly the same", it's a big difference. The 256GB model is $1516 doing the same math. That's insane. Frankly speaking.

Actually, it's the opposite, with Euro the price difference is not as steep: it's 1.18 rate for Euro vs 1.32 rate for British Pound. So buying the X in the UK is the worst deal price wise.
