Mine was supposed to come week of Dec. 8th. Now scheduled to arrive Tuesday.
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.It's not first quarter numbers that will tell the tale, it is second quarter. There was little doubt Apple was going to be able to sell pretty much every phone they made during Q1. What remains to be seen is whether demand continues on into Q2 and Q3 as was predicted and Apple sells 80+ million of them during the fiscal year.
Apple is expected to beat the Q1 2015 revenue by 13%-15%. If demand for the iPhone X continues at the same rate as the iPhone 6 I would expect the Q2 revenue guidance to be just as much higher than Q2 2015. That would give estimated Q2 2018 revenues of $65-$67 billion. That is the number I'll be interested in in 70 days.
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.Expected. False hype.
Wonder if they fixed the "GREEN" line issues in these new ones coming. Surprised with that issue, that expected deliveries are getting better.
My order was expected to deliver between DEC 8th - DEC 16th, then got pushed forward to DEC 1st - DEC 8th.
Contacted Apple just now, my card was charged for X, and they're waiting for the carrier to pick the phone up for delivery. Will be shipping in less than 24 hours confirmed. It is possible they're moving dates forward again!
Very excited.
Wrong, that site has online and LOCAL retail stores and is extremely accurate. You can even look at retail stores only. How are you people so misinformed? Do you really want the X to fail?
It’s not failing. It’s the most popular iPhone launch ever.
If I wanted an iPhone X right now, I literally could not go out and buy it. I live in a top 5 city and there isn’t an iPhone X within 300 miles of me. It’s literally ate a handful of retail stores across the world and sells almost the minute they come in.
I'm sure it did. Do you have any data to refute that?
Demand is demand. Apple is the one manufacturing the device and shipping it to retailers and third-parties. If they aren't accurate, who is?
Just because it's available from a 3rd party in Sticksville, USA doesn't mean it's available from a global perspective.
No, based upon the delays would be even longer without Cook's expertise.
I had a similar thing happen. It seemed to wait in China forever. Once that part passed, it started to move along. To Korea, to Alaska, to Kentucky only to ultimately come back west to Los Angeles. It appears I'll get it Monday, but I was hopeful for Friday.
I preordered sim free in the UK, had it over a week. Why don't they do the same in the US? Just curious.Cool but where is SIM FREE!? I aint messin with no Intel modem.
That logic is flawlessso when they were longer in the past, they could have been even longer ...
wonder how many more years Apple is going to play this game of shortages, people want what they can't have, then once they get it they no longer want it
Faster shipping times from Apple are great but UPS delivery timing isn’t keeping pace![]()
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.I preordered sim free in the UK, had it over a week. Why don't they do the same in the US? Just curious.
Can confirm shipping updates here. Phone wasn’t scheduled to arrive until December 1st. Surprise, showed up today!!

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.
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
[doublepost=1510813504][/doublepost]
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
