Must have been a lot of scalpers that ordered it, didn’t get the shipping dates they wanted and then canceled.
[doublepost=1509667458][/doublepost]
There probably will be a lot of returns of the iPhone X from scalpers that bought them and then couldn’t get the money they wanted for them. It serves them right.
They are struggling to make list on Ebay UK.
 
I somehow have fallen through the cracks in a positive way. Didn't order until 330 am Pacific time on the 27th and my order shipped today, i'm not in the upgrade program. Purchased through the AT&T Website. Hope everyones delivery dates keep getting updated.
Dont worry, I didnt get my order thru ATT for my phone at 340 ET and then had trouble with my wifes phone and didnt order hers til 540ET and we get both today. :)
 
I'm sure they will sell a lot of these but the hype for this was silly. It's a $1000 phone in an already saturated and mature market.

And outside the U.S, well the prices are obscene.
 
Not me I had trouble ordering on launch night on the apple store. The best I still have is Nov 17 thru Nov 24th. Feeling like a second class citizen hearing about all the people who are getting their orders expedited. Not happy about the situation. :apple::(

I’d take that. I had a bit of trouble ordering minutes after midnight on the 27th and I have December delivery dates. Talk about second class. Oh they bumped me up yesterday from Dec. 5th-11th to Dec. 1st-8th, whoopee! So I’ll take your November 17 delivery date if you’re not happy with it.

Same for me! Really disappointed about the fact that I' ve ordered 7 minutes after the pre-order hour and I need to wait until 28 November and my order delivery date NEVER improved
 
A scalper here in the UK on eBay got £1023 for his 64GB iPhone X earlier in his auction, he also was offering free postage. So after PayPal fees, eBay fees and registered postage he will be considerably out of pocket on that little venture.

I ordered in the morning, so about 4 hours after launch. Got Week of Dec 11 delivery date which has improved to Dec 1 now. I suspect you will get an improvement e-mail by the end of the weekend. But you and me are going to be part of the regular production and not the stockpiled original stock of phones. So we can only be moved up so far. Sorry being 7 minutes late was such a delay for you.
 
My shipping date was December 2nd week, just got email saying iPhone arriving Nov 6, looks like apple x was all hype.

Oh yeah all hype. That's why I finally got my orders through at 2:30 am central time on the 27th and my phones deliver 1st week of December! If Apple has all these phones that aren't selling then why am I having to wait until December???
 
Why was it unfair?
LG makes phones available in different countries at different time. So does Samsung.
Because it appears they only had one pool of products rather than section up between the different locations.
 
Nope mine hasn't changed still first week of december. I was on the website at minute 1 and it took 15 minutes for the site to open up. I ended up doing my order about 20 minutes after opening. So now if i order one today I get a better shipping estimate to the one I got 20 minutes into preorder. Im so dead sick of this whole process. Last time i join this stupid circus with Apple.

Promises, promises.
 
FUD articles about iPhone production rates or troubles are mostly clickbait.

I don't think people can pick and choose which articles are clickbait and which aren't when the reports come from people who have pretty good accuracy. I think it's more likely that Apple relaxed their rigidity on Face ID than that the reports way back in May and June were 'clickbait'. The vast majority of people weren't paying attention at that time, and those who were are the ones who would buy the phone anyway. No need for clickbait.
 
The rumor mongers claiming no iPhone X until 2018 are eating crow now. However, their proclamations will be trumpeted next time as if they've never made a mistake. Just watch. Make a list of the authors who wrote doom-and-gloom stories about no iPhones for Christmas, and you will see their rumors quoted next year as if they "nailed it" this time.

So people who buy an X *right now* will get theirs the same time as mine, which I ordered at 12:10 AM on the first day.

I call shenanigans.

No... I am pretty positive you will get bumped up

Well, mine still says Thanksgiving-ish, so... hasn’t happened yet.

My order has been stuck in an abyss. Order status still says "Order in progress - Delivers November 17 - November 24. (256 GB silver T-mobile). So shall it be.

I'm just hoping Apple launches a sim free version before my return date is up. I hate being stuck with a GSM only version.
