Yeah getting a 2017 model in 2018 would stink so bad I might be tempted to keep what I've got or get the cheaper IPhone 8 Plus which may end up being more optimal for most of my uses and budget anyway. I won't really know the best course of action until tomorrow. But these rumors are so wacky and unsettling. But it's always interesting to read them, which is why I am here.I'm sure that was true at the start of ramp up. I'd be very doubtful it's true now because it would mean iPhone X's could be backordered into 2018. That would 101% ruin Apple's 1Q sales which must smash 1Q 2017 results or AAPL will tank and TC will look like a schnook.
I can't speak for others but if I have to wait until Jan for an iPhone I'll just wait until next Sep. Ultimately it's just another iPhone. They all run the same OS with almost the same features. That is the pressure Apple is under and why I think the 10K number is likely very outdated. I suspect iPhone X will meet demand by early Nov. same as last years iPhone 7+.
Yeah any iPhone launch weekend is going to be limited stock. Just like all major phone releases , I’m expecting that. What I don’t believe is the claim this phone will be delayed for months. There is no way 10k units a day are being produced at this point in time and no way Apple have only 300k units for its biggest launch since IPhone 6. Unless their is evidence from Foxxcon documents I’m not going to believe him.
I'll almost believe it. Apple is pushing the iPhone X upscale. What better way to justify a $1,000+ price tag than to limit the number of phones. Maybe that's the "one more thing" moment for the keynote. "By the way, in honor of the iPhone's 10th anniversary there will only be 10 million individually numbered iPhone Xs released. Once they are gone there will be no more. Get your preorders in now."
It was constrained through November.
Wouldn’t be Apple Product Launch Week without some “ supposed source “ claiming delays to hype up the phone for sales and manipulate the stock market prior to launch. Every year same “leak” happens and every year the most models ship within the first 4 weeks. SMH
I believe a small dog in a handbag comes with the new phone - helps complete the picture.I'll almost believe it. Apple is pushing the iPhone X upscale.

As long as I can get a 256GB iPhone X in “black”, all is good.
Agreed. I feel like it’s a sinilar story each year.
I'm glad I could make you laugh. That's one of my favorite Apple related videos and it popped up on this forum last week and made me laugh, too. I love that Raffi character. He looks like the long lost party animal cousin of Jony Ive who stole some shirts from Eddy Cue's closet.@GrumpyMom thanks for the Gold video
I had a bad day at work, but after the video you shared, I laughed.... I thank you for that! lol
You'll be able to get it .... maybe November, December, etc though.As long as I can get a 256GB iPhone X in “black”, all is good.
I don't want a blush gold iPhone, but I also don't want it to be in short supply: I don't want all of the potential blush gold purchasers to say, "oh well, I'll just go with black". Looks like launch time will be even more fun this year.![]()
