Ordered 2:

From BestBuy
256GB/Silver/ATT Delivered Nov. 3rd

From Apple
256GB/SpaceGray/ATT Delivered Nov.17-24th
 
Pre-Approved for Apple Program Upgrade just after that option was capable on Apple.com.
Got in at 1:05am, clicked the button for both of the Sprint Pre-Approvals, and was SUPER surprised that both will be delivered to the house on November 3rd!


SUPER EASY process this time, without an issue. Good job Apple.

Ordered through the iPhone Apple store app two ATT Silver 256’s one for myself one for my dad. For some reason my phone jumped into the store first and I was able to sail through the order process, got 11/3 delivery. I was finally able to get into the store on my dads phone a few minutes later and was moving through the order process ready to check out via Apple Pay and ran into a hitch with billing address, ended up having to use the secondary payment method and by that time his delivery window had shifted to 11/17-24
 
Silver 256 GB
AT&T
Delivery: Nov 17-24

I kept trying to open the Apple Store app but it wouldn't let me in, not even by 3:10a ET so I gave up on that, went straight to apple.com, and got right in that way to place my order.

I was excited to try ordering via the Apple Store app as I had read it would be faster and easier but in my case, it wasn't because it didn't become available for me soon enough. After I ordered my phone through apple.com, I went back to the app for giggles and it finally opened up at 3:17a ET.
Same here!! Hated it...

My experience is totally the opposite. Got pre-approved but couldn’t get into the store until 12:10 on both my phone and my laptop. Screw you Apple..

Yea I wonder what dictates when I could successfully get into the Apple Store.. is it my wifi to blame or apple.com server?
 
From Verizon:
2:55am - 256gb space grey 11/3
3:15am - 256gb space grey 11/3
3:20am - 64gb space grey 11/10 (slipped to 11/10 at check out)

Wanted to go through Apple, but the app and site didn't become available until 3:10am (although kept refreshing and opening/closing starting at 2:45am) and there were a lot of difficulties, then by that time ship dates were 2-3 weeks out.
 
12/11-12/18. Tried signing up last night with a new Apple upgrade program and woke up this morning that they couldn’t process the application. So I had to re order this morning. Bummer :(


Sucks man! Hope your delivery date didn’t get pushed too far.
 
Tried 3am to get on Apple Store on iPhone to buy an unlocked GSM/AT&T 256GB Space Gray. No luck. Got on Apple.com and ordered but got "we have to check with your carrier message" and did not get any email showing they got my request. At 4:15 went on Apple Store app and was able to order, and got a December 11-18 timeframe.

Later today I got a message that the carrier had approved the phone. I went online to Apple with the confirmation number and got a November 17-24 window. I will cancel the December phone once this phone order shows it is processed.
 
iPhone X 256GB Space Grey - Verizon Business at 12:17am PST - 11/03
iPhone X 256GB Space Grey - Verizon Business at 12:22am PST - 11/10
 
I'm on a family plan, and there were three available upgrades, but Best Buy didn't even ask for my carrier info, which I assume is because I bought the phone outright.
Dang it, I just found out that Best Buy charged an extra $100 per phone for the “flexibility” of paying upfront . Guess I’m gonna wait the extra month after all.
 
Both of my 256GB Silver just went into Preparing to Ship! 11/3!

I tried to order through the app @ about 3:05. Got and error message saying there was a problem contacting the carrier. Got a message this afternoon to complete my purchase with a delivery date of November 3. Space grey 64g.
 
Got into store via app around 12:04 PST. Completed pre-approved IUP for 256GB SG a couple minutes later. Delivery date 11/3. Just now, status went to "preparing to ship". :^)
 
AT&T 256gb silver ordered from the Apple store app at 2:03 resulted in a November 3rd delivery date.

Saved the phone as a favorite in the app early yesterday which made it very smooth process.
