I'd say launch day chances are very low. At best I'm expecting them the week of the 6th sometime. Could be Monday, could be saturday, who knows.

If it turns out like last year, I received mine the Saturday of the following week after launch (supposed to be Friday, but the shipment went on world tour) after being told the same 2-3 week window as this time.

Same, I received my jet black plus 8 days after release day, so the saturday of the week after launch. I expect those of us with 2-3 weeks will get ours around that same time frame.

First time I won't have an iphone on launch day...Since the 1st iphone I have always been a lucky guy...lol

This pre order was a real pita, reminded me of when i ordered a nexus p and went through the same crap!

my order was a little out of whack, I was ready to go at 2:55 on Friday morning from both my store app on my phone and the apple site from my mac. I have the iphone upgrade program so i thought it would go fairly smooth. Not the case, my phone still wasn't loading so I went the site route on my mac, got right in, picked my phone, picked my pick up time for Nov 3rd and went to the next screen for citizens one which honestly this is my 3rd year doing it and it should be done in the store like previous years, and after filling it all out and it was loading an error came up that said OPPS something went wrong and i had to do it all over again??? Anyway I did it again and this time it came back saying we have a phone for you and once we reach your carrier we'll contact you?

Pissed and annoyed I went to bed and woke up to an email asking me to return to my order and after filling everything out AGAIN...it now showed no pick up times for launch day or any other day and only shipping which is this 2-3 weeks wait time everyone here has got. Very annoying that this is my 3rd time doing the iphone upgrade program and I had to go through such BS. Could be worse though, I'm seeing people with 5-6 week wait times, which honestly I don't think people will wait that long.

Most likely we will all get our phones a few days after launch, Tues/Wed, and those people seeing 5-6 weeks will see our delivery times of 2-3 weeks. After that Apple will probably report record buyings and ride the hype train into the holidays.

Mine was showing Nov 3rd as I clicked through but then I kept getting error messages for the AT&T verification. And by the time the order was submitted it was 2-3 weeks.
Same for me had nov 3 delivery date and nov 3 pick up date. Error messages from AT&T verification errors by the time to submit no pick up available and 2-3 weeks delivery time. 256gb space grey
 
I got in at 03 on the app but cart showed 2 phones and after that had to re enter my cc info and phone number for some reason
 
Hey peeps. I bet I was here with some of you last year. I didn't get the original ship date this year, but given the situation I'm happy to be in the 17-24 group!
 
I am here... Because Apple Pay via Safari tried to use my work address to verify my CC, instead of my home address. Couldn't get it to work. But on my phone it worked flawlessly. By the time I got it going, it was 00:16.
 
Someone was asking about times and whether bumping will occur in order of time of purchase say 3:06 vs 3:13 am. I was wondering if Apple order numbersare sequential like that.

In the past (Jet Black 7 plus, SS Black watch), the best way was to going by when we received the confirmation email. You could find the exact second by forwarding the email and looking at the header.
Mine shows email was sent by Apple at XX:23.30. (23 minutes 30 seconds after launch, didn't get online till around 15 minutes after) Someone that shows XX:23.29 with the same configuration would be ahead of me. Not sure how accurate this will be this time, just sharing information.

I really truly hope so, but am prepared either way. Nov21-28 seems like so long away.

Same as you with my iPhone 7 Plus last year. I was in the "Typhoon-Gate" group, and that is why our phones went all over the damn place. Apple upgraded us to weekend delivery, and thus I got mine on Saturday 9/24/16. I was originally supposed to get it Oct. 4-10, so last year I got bumped up.

I am just hoping that my order gets bumped up from the current estimated shipping date of Nov. 17-24 one, because I would like my iPhone X earlier and two, the 23rd is Thanksgiving and I travel for the Holiday.

Seems the only thing that went right was the ordering of my Apple iPhone X Blue Cobalt Silicone case, which has already shipped.

First time I'm not getting an iPhone on launch day. Got my order in after multiple attempts on my iPhone at 3:11 (received a reservation email, but I was in line so I'm confident in saying that I wouldn't have received an earlier date).

I'm also sure that those who got their order in sooner than me had faster ping times
 
The app finally opened at 12:05am PST. Entire order was completed by 12:06am.
No errors, no delayed choices to make or info to enter, just 4 minutes longer to wait for the app to get through.
Still stuck at 11/17-11/24 :(

I didnt get an email from apple until 1:44am, dont know what kind of a difference that will make...

This is also the first time I have not gotten a launch day phone.

I received the "Reservation Email" message after it kept giving me an error when trying to put my AT&T information in. I said screw that and went to the the Apple website and got an order in for a iPhone X Space Gray on AT&T, currently set for delivery on Nov. 17-24.

I had a feeling if I waited for that "reservation email" that I would get screwed, and probably not get an iPhone X, or I would not get it until Christmas and I was not prepared to do that after waiting over a month to be able to preorder the iPhone X. I really do feel bad for people who got those reservation emails and then got screwed over.

Was online all night, since I had to stay up until 3am. Site/app didn't go live until 3:10. Got my order through right away (had saved it under Favorites, did Apple Pay, all the good stuff). Got the notification email at 3:12 for the first order, 3:13 for the second one.
 
Just checked my status and got moved up to Nov 3rd! (original Nov 17-24)

2 iPhones, 256 silver and black on verizon
Tried to log in on apple store app and via the website but not able until 10-15 minutes after launch. First time doing the IUP for both orders. 1st order unable to reach carrier so got a reservation email. 2nd order able to get to the IUP form but was not able to get through. Went back to sleep and woke up with a reservation email for the 2nd phone

I also received the email stating that they noted I was having problems with the IUP submission and to reply with my order numbers once I placed my order.

Ordered both phones through the reservation numbers, given the 2-3 week time frame of Nov 17-24th originally. Replied to the email noted above with both order numbers yesterday.

Was just browsing the forums and rechecked my status. Now showing nov 3rd, did not talk to any other customer support besides what is already mentioned.

I hope others get some good news as well.

Huh?... u att? Never mind so it seemed like everyone who has IUP are getting upgraded to 11/3, while everyone else is still stuck and screwed by their stupid app downtime... wtf ugh I’m so pissed.

Anyways, congrats

I am on the iPhone Upgrade Program and the Apple app didn’t load for me until 12:10am, and by the time I ordered it was already 2-3 weeks out. I am sure the orders will ship sooner rather than later

Yes it will be but that’s not really the point. We are now being tamed to accept the fact that they screwed up. We should’ve been 11/3!
