The Watch was a more exciting update this year. It’s an “s” year for the iPhone (though the Max is new and I expect the R will sell well when it goes live).
Got a tip for us?

iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch Series 4 Shipping Estimates Begin Slipping

If last year is any indication there will be stock at the Apple Store next week. I originally had a 2 week wait for the X but then wound up buying it at the store on launch day with only a 15 minute wait.

Alternatively just sell the phone and buy the new one outright. You’ll likely get more than the trade-in value. You can pay off the old loan or just keep making the payments (the latter is what I would recommend since the loan is interest free).
Ordered an SS and Black SS 44 at 12:07 pacific and already slipped Septt 28-oct 2. Man they sold out fast.
Perfect example of negative spin. One commenter was surprised at quickness of the slips "at those prices" and you think the slips are not fast enough "at those prices". It's all about mindset. You think the prices are too high so you want to confirm that by building a case that pre-order delivery dates aren't slipping fast enough. Other do the same in reverse. They also think the prices are too high so they invent another theory to explain why pre-order delivery dates are slipping, namely the tired old "Apple is intentionally limiting supplies to make it look like demand is high."
Starting to look like Apple will have a monster hit on its hands.
How about this... I got my order in, in the very moment it was available. I got the email in the first 6 minutes, and it ALREADY slipped to Oct 5th - 12th. I have faith Apple will ship sooner than this, they usually do, but this is the first time I missed arrival on launch day.
(Went on sale at 2:01 central time. iPhone store app actually opened for me around 2:05. Email came in at 2:07)

They have servers that can deliver millions of audio and video streams. Why is it shocking that they should be able to serve up a website store?
The X is the perfect size for me, but I don’t mind going back to the bigger size. Am getting the Xs Max.
I noticed it was the only thing during the keynote that moved the stock upwards when it was announced. Investors are liking the watch and it's medical uses.
I begrudgingly upgraded to the Xs Max and the only reason was because I'd already promised someone my current phone and the Series 4 watch is such a fantastic device, but it needs an iPhone.
This is however the first time I'm upgrading, while knowing I will NOT upgrade to the latest model next year. I'm so irritated by Apple's greed that I will seriously consider abandoning the eco-system. I'm eagerly awaiting the Pixel 3XL launch on October 9 to see if the rumoured Google watch will be announced as well. I strongly doubt that it will be anywhere as good as the Series 4 Apple Watch, but if it's kinda ok, I might return the iPhone Xs Max and Apple Watch Series 4 and jump to Google this year rather than in a year or two.

The XS 256 GB space gray AT&T version sold out in minutes (or minute?) for pick up at most Apple stores in the Seattle area. Crazy. I was watching the other colors/sizes/storages, and they pretty much stuck around well (some XS Max phones are still available, shockingly.) I’m guessing the $200 extra for 512 GB is too much for a lot of people to swallow?
here are Antutu Xs benchmarks if it is to believed.

That's awesome! Hope she likes it. Did you get her a watch as well? This will be my wife's first Apple Watch. Usually these days I'm fairly patient about waiting for new product launches. Even with the iPhone X last year I don't remember being this upset that it was delayed, and that was a pretty big overhaul. But this Series 0 is really killing me and I feel like I have already been really patient waiting this long to upgrade it. First gen products typically don't last as long and this is a prime example.
I'm so excited for the 512gb options! My 256 X is almost maxed out, so this came just in time. People say nobody needs half a TB of storage on a phone, but I do! And it's also the cheapest option per gb to max it out. I'm a local storage hoarder (hate the delays when trying to access stuff in the cloud).
Yes - for sure - it hit all the spots on the wishlist - go compare the differences and see if you can discern for yourself
If you’re lucky, they’ll mess up.
When they replaced my 6s+ battery they couldn’t get the phone to work properly. Sooooo...for the $29 cost of the battery they gave me a beautiful refurb with new battery and twice the storage.
