Given it is 30+% more expensive than the 6, I would expect to see even bigger numbers if it is selling in the same volumes as the 6.
I thought Apples guidance for this next quarter was interesting, iPads selling more, Macs selling more, others selling more, cloud selling more....and yet, with a phone @30% more expensive barely forecasting better quarter than last year. That suggests to me a marked reduction in actual phone numbers
I went from the week of 12/11-12/18 to 12/8-12/15. Not much of a bump, but better than nothing.
Was there ever any scenario in which you (and the others) wouldn't see this as "Apple is doomed!"? If the phone isn't available, it's because of "artificial scarcity", if it is available, it's because "nobody wants it". Now we have a scenario where the phone is slightly less unavailable, yet somehow that's still a bad thing. Seems a lot like a certain contingent here is starting with the narrative that Apple is both doomed and horrible, and then fitting the available evidence into that narrative.

That issue isn’t anything new (phones over the years have had this) with Super OLED screens and it will continue to exist for quite a while. Some will just naturally end up having that defect - if there was a permanent fix, it would have been implemented years ago by Samsung.
Confirmed, delivery date estimated at nov 27th or before ( my first shipping date was dec 8-16)
Online order is 2-3 weeks, I just checked right now and two apple stores in London have stock today. See my point ? On a daily basis there is stock.
To be honest you will get one from a 3rd party, my point is that the demand / wait isn't 2-3 weeks (it's actually business days also)

Here is the irony , I was asking the poster for data to support the claim, and I'm being asked to provide data to refute it.... shrug

Point I'm making , we really don't know the real shipping times or demand based on Apple online. It's only one cog in the massive apple distribution network

That logic is flawless
so when they were longer in the past, they could have been even longer ...
The main UPS hub is in Louisville, KY so a lot of virtual paperwork goes through that location for products being imported into the U.S., but that doesn't mean your phone ever went there, or to any of those places for that matter. It's very common for preordered Apple products to look like they are banging all around the world on the way to your doorstep, but it is not literally happening.
I preordered sim free in the UK, had it over a week. Why don't they do the same in the US? Just curious.
well if you add the tax of 21% in Europe the price is scary. I would buy macbook pro instead. Imagine if all people would say no to this price. I went to see in store, and I'm sorry the iOS does not fit to this device. It is not as good as I thought it will be. Not for me maybe the next generation.
That logic is flawless
Absolutely. Apple's phenomenal success manufacturing, testing, and delivering 200+ million iPhones per year (and managing and coordinating an equal number of deliveries of components used in iPhone from myriad global vendors), to satisfied customers who repeatedly come back to Apple for premium devices and pay premium prices, is testament to Cook's outstanding management skills and leadership, past and present. A lesser COO/CEO with lesser skills would not be able to pull that off.
The problem for us is, it works. They've done this for over a decade and it makes people want it even more. Just ask those scalpers!!
I pre order the iPhone X on October 27 and because the Apple Store was only available after some minutes I got a Nov 17-24 delivery time.
It was easier getting the iPhone in the Apple Store than waiting too many days.
The best way to find the iPhone X is on www.istocknow.com
Tmobil iPhones pay in full will work in any country.

my att 256 grey is still showing December 4, 2017 - December 18, 2017. course it's free so I can wait lol
Faster shipping times from Apple are great but UPS delivery timing isn’t keeping pace
I miss the FedEx days.
There are 2 different modems in US phones because of different carrier technologies, and Apple doesn’t use a modem that handles both. So they only sell the carrier specific models here at first. Apple eventually sells an unlocked sim free model here but its typically a month or more after release. The US sim free model is also more expensive for Apple to make because of the Qualcomm licensing fee since it uses their CDMA compatible modem, while sim free in most other countries is GSM only (I think) and cheaper to make.
Just curious because I'm still waiting on mine; did they send you an email with tracking and everything too, or did it just show up unexpectedly? I ordered my through my carrier (ATT).
To clarify to everyone, I ordered through Apple. Also, my order has UPS Expedited Shipping.
Phone is currently in ZhengZhou, China. Originally had est del. date of 12/8-16, and now im at 11/27 est del date.

Well, if my card isn't charged by EOD tomorrow there's no improved delivery date for my order.....Thank's Tim and company....I know, I know FWP.
Apple isn't doomed, but at some point if they continue to raise prices it's going to really test brand power. If the iPhone X starts at $999 I'd expect the iPhone 11 Plus (You know it's coming) to start around $1,200 and go up to $1,500. What remains to be seen is at what point do these prices turn off consumers enough to look at other products. The competition is no longer building ugly plastic poorly running phones. Apple will push it as far as they can to get record profits, but at some point greed does turn people off.
Some might say as long as they can pay monthly payments then price has little impact, but if they start adding $60-80 to your monthly bill for a phone then people might start noticing the price.

Exactly this. I was really lucky in the end, and was able to pick one up at an authorised Apple reseller in the UK on Nov 9, after popping in and putting my name on the list late in the afternoon of the 3rd.
I went from an SE to the X, and absolutely love it. Mileage may vary, but Face ID is pretty incredible. Swiping up from the the bottom to go home really does feel very natural and intuitive - don't miss the home button at all.
Mine was shipped on the 8th November and delivered on the 9th. I'm in the UK and I can only guess mine was shipped from one of my local Apple stores. Not sure why it's different for you guys...Sorry, I have to say this overused phrase, wow first world problems.
London is the only retail area you can consistently find it and online JUST started to be 2-3 weeks.Online order is 2-3 weeks, I just checked right now and two apple stores in London have stock today. See my point ? On a daily basis there is stock.

So you're agreeing with me that it's hard to get? I'm pretty far from London.
