Has there been any inside information leaked yet regarding ship times of the X? Will the earliest preordered units be delivered in a week? Maybe it's been discussed but I missed it.
Got a tip for us?

Hopefully they will have a couple million units for sale at launch, but maybe all units start shipping from October instead. Let's see tomorrow.
Couple million? That's a drop in the bucket. Might as well be 10K. Apple sold 13 million iPhone 6s units launch weekend. It did not release iPhone 7 sales first weekend. So if history is any guide it will need 15-20 million units.
They SOLD 13 million on launch, doesn’t mean they shipped 13 million, bet a good number waited 3-4 weeks for their phone
Yes it does. Apple only counts paid units as "sold" and only charges credit cards at actual shipping time. Maybe you are thinking of Samsung which counts any order as "sold" regardless of whether it's been paid for or not.
End of November? I don't believe that. Apple would risk too many people trying other devices.
Not sure what you are laughing. Apple can't book a sale until it has cash-in-hand. Apple doesn't have cash-in-hand until the device ships. Until that time a buyer can cancel the order. There is no such thing as a "firm preorder."
