Far East countries and Australia are already getting their's thanks to the hemisphere they are in.

Singapore

I already saw many people lining up in Sydney.
Side note: I have a friend in Bendigo and I’ve learned two things. Your internet providers suck and the LTE data plans you have access to suck as well!
 
well where are your initial impressions and some more pictures? stop holding out... we want to hear from non-youtube vloggers who need to keep Apple happy.

First impressions: definitely feels a little more sturdy than a iPhone 7 (never owned a plus). Feels amazing in hand. I though my jet black 7 was nice to hold but the glass on the back feels even nicer when using the phone. You can tell theres a lot more screen real estate. Getting used to no home button will def take a little time. For example closing out of apps is totally different. Remember double clicking home and swiping up? Thats gone obviously. I dont mind the notch so far. Its kind of nice with the time on the left side and status bars/battery on the other. Tap to wake is cool to have now. Face unlock is super quick and conveninent so far. Interested to see how it will be in pitch black dark

I was just surprised they were all silver, finally found a space gray unboxing. it looks sweet. big fingerprint magnet though
 
Long story short, there were rings on Tuesday and Wednesday at my door, which I didnt respond to because I wasnt waiting on any packages and/or people. yesterday I see two ups notices on my door (none on tuesday) so today I was prepared to open the door.

few minutes ago my X was delivered. I couldve had it in hand Tuesday. im not complaining though!

That is going to get some people fired...lol
 
Dude answer the door, that's what the doorbell is for. You can't plan or anticipate everything in this world.

I think it was 11.0.2 maybe 11.0.3, I forgot. I had to update it before restoring the phone from iTunes, though. wouldn't let me do it otherwise.

Can you use the phone without having to update? I currently have no wifi and I don't want to get locked in.
