Good news. Expecting barn burner 1Q financial results now. Apple is able to hit all cylinders this season -- iPhone, AW, Mac, Services.
 
I‘m really curious to know if demand already eased due to the high price point or Apple simply ramped up production massively.

Surely the latter happened, no discussion. But I still question that everybody is willing to pay the price. As an example, I know several big companies only providing iPhone 8 or Plus to its employees. And we‘re talking about huge amount of corporate phones being sold worldwide.

So does that mean it should be available on Apple’s Employees Purchase Program soon..?
 
Mine has already improved- original delivery date was Dec 11-15. It improved to dec 1-8 a little while ago.

Today it actually shipped, moving my delivery date way up to nov 20!!!!

Did my part to help the Apple faithful and other beta testers here in NA. Every little bit helps!

Ordered mine on 11/9 from AT&T online. Supposed to ship 11/30-12/7 I did the Next Year upgrade program it was only $8 or so more so that I can upgrade next year if I decide to do so.

Have to admit. The thought of canceling has crossed my mine a few times here lately.
 
Ironically, I ordered my iPhone X in the first hour of pre-orders and as delivery times have changed for new orders, so has the expected delivery time for my phone. Essentially, I could have ordered my phone at any time between October 27 and today and I would get the phone on essentially the same date. Kind of weird but I am looking forward to getting the phone. New iPhone X Space Grey 256 replacing my iPhone 5s.
 
I know. I don’t want to be stuck with gsm only iPhone X.

We already got screwed along with our friends with option to try to switch to Verizon cause we stuck with gsm only iPhone 7 Plus intel modem. That’s cause I got it at launch sept 2016 full price and Apple released Qualcomm universal iPhone iPhone 7 3-4 weeks later.

Pissed me off.

If I’m paying full price. I want universal iPhone model. I understand if I’m doing installments to be stuck with gsm model. But full price purchase should be Qualcomm gsm/cdma iPhone X model
cdma sucks bro and versions shutting down CDMA in 2019. gsm is the way to go, but really 600 mhz and 5G are the way to go
 
Nobody should confuse increased supply of iPhone X with lack of consumer demand.

The story here is very simple - Apple is getting more iPhone X into the hands of delighted customers than analysts predicted.

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.

No, you don't end up roughly the same price as in the US...
 
No change in my shipment date. 12/1 - 12/8 . Waiting on a silver Verizon 256.

Tried to order when online ordering started. Had problems with PIN. Had to wait till next morning. Orig shipment date was 12/12 then moved up to 12/1 2-3 weeks ago.
 
The supply for pickup at the grand central store sold out in 5 minutes today. They go live at 6am.

I reserved one at Apple fifth avenue and there was a line around the block.

Not sure which store you went to but it doesn’t sound like it was one of the popular ones.

Soho store
 
I firmly believe these are Imaginary availability numbers, carefully crafted by Apple's Upper Mgmt, to spin a particular story.

Has nothing to do with Reality.

Apple simply does NOT want the market figuring-out the Supply or the Demand for the X.
 
Funny how many use this as evidence the rumours of hampered production were wrong, but it just as easily could mean that demand isn't as high as expected. They were estimating 40-50 million orders by years end & that just over 30 million would be available. With 6 weeks to go & delivery times less than that it suggests sales are about 30% less than market predictions.
 
Stock is still extremely spotty.

I would be surprised if even half the Apple Stores had them in stock by year end.

The analysts were clearly correct about supply constraints.

I got the intel att unlocked X

Came across two Verizon X unlocked and opened em up last week

But my intel X has a MUCH better screen by luck so sticking with it and done with the game

Hope I have no desire for Verizon any time
Soon(doubt it too)

My 7+ is att intel unlocked too
 
If you've got Verizon/Sprint, then just buy the one available now at full price. It'll be the same phone as the SIM-Free model. The Verizon/Sprint ones will be cross compatible with GSM.
“If you’ve got Verizon/Sprint” are the operative words there. Not everyone does.
 
I am growing confused about the different "models" of the iPhone X. I am an AT&T customer and have no particular desire to change carriers. What options are available to me for buying a iPhone X, and how are they different? I was planning on just ordering one from them. Bad idea?
 
You have absolutely zero, real knowledge of what the “story” is.

If you plan on staying att model is fine

No model really matters if buying unlocked , unless if u care about being on Verizon or sprint
