They clearly aren't, and after all why would they? It's a overpriced phone with outdated technology. The only truly innovative thing is A11, and it's available even in the considerably less expensive iPhone 8.

iPhone X Shipping Estimates Improve to 2 to 3 Weeks in Europe, US Could Be Next [Updated]

I think you see a lot of orders being cancelled because you can't turn a profit by putting it on eBay. After fees, you would basically break even which isn't worth the risk of fraud. Everybody anticipated a tight supply but either demand isn't that great or supply just isn't that tight.
Or people just aren’t in a rush to spend 999 and completely unwilling to pay a premium on a premium phone for a scalped unit
Well yes, and even more unwilling if the delivery estimates aren't that crazy. In the US, they never slipped past 5-6 weeks. Now if it were 12 weeks and they wanted it for the holidays, they'd be more willing to pay the scalpers.
I bet you are in US (ironically first for everything else)
Here in UK we get the sim free on a fist day.
That's what I got.
What is the "evidence"? Apple doesn't give any sales numbers. "Off the charts"...hmmmmm....which direction? top or down ;-)
Hoards of people are buying it. It’s a status symbol, the most sought after Apple product in a long, long time.
As reflected by the huge guidance for next quarter from Apple itself.
Which one?
I ordered a 256 Silver ATT - 3am pacific - original window was 12/10-12/18. About a week ago that improved to 12/1-12/8. Got informed it shipped today.
Outright, no question. But a lot of people get in on contract. For example, my 256 iPhone X cost me €453. Sold my 7 Plus (128) for €600. I actually profit. It makes no sense not to upgrade.
I am hoping for something like this to happen with mine. Currently my status is
Delivers 01 Dec, 2017 - 08 Dec, 2017 by Standard Shipping
But I leave on the 5th or the early on the 6th for a three-week road trip. I'd sure like to have a new iPhone X with me on that trip.
Shipments are definitely going out early. Received my iPhone X 256 on Monday and the estimated shipping date when I ordered was the beginning of December
What happened to the Apple SIM? Supposedly this is now the default in every wireless product that Apple sells (directly, at least). The idea is you won't need a carrier-specific SIM.
Possibly, though I am not sure. For the iPhone the equivalent might be the SIM-free model (not yet available). I guess if I go AT&T and buy outright it doesn't really matter.
I tried a sim-free 8 around when it came out and tried it for a weekend before returning it (deciding to wait and see if the X would be worth getting— it was for me), and it came with no sim at all.
Who let you buy and return? I ask because I need a phone for a few weeks until the X arrives. Talking to AT&T it seems all they can offer me is a prepaid. No idea what kind of phone that will be.
