The initial supply of the iPhone X sold out in 10 minutes online and the shipping estimate now is 5-6 weeks. Units are expected to be offered at brick and mortar establishments on November 3 though I've not read any announcements as to which or how many will be available at each location such as the carrier stores, Best Buy, etc.

My friend Chris, who almost always orders on the first day (at 3 am) got thru 'before' me maybe 4 mins) but was given a 2-3 timeframe for some reason. He also ordered the 256GB model.
I guess we'd call these 'first world problems', eh?DavidOn Oct 28, 2017, at 3:23 PM, Susan Ferraglio bladessf@aol.com [apple-iphone] <apple-iphone@yahoogroups.com> wrote:You had a better experience than I. Got up early, kept refreshing the app and website. Didn't get a "load" until 3:15. Got one but have to wait 2-3 weeks. Also Apple couldn't contact the carrier so put in a reservation for me. The next day I got an email to complete the purchase. I don't mind the wait but my experience with the ordering this time around was not as efficient as in years past. Probably opening the ordering to the world didn't help!
Look forward to your reviews so I can be prepared when the beauty arrives!SueCordially,Susan Ferraglio-Genecco, DVM

We had to pre-qualify with Apple and the bank that holds the 'loan'. That went more or less ok earlier in the week. (Did require talking to 6 people, 2 with the bank and 4 with Apple because Apple didn't log something correctly when we bought my wife's phone on the upgrade plan).Set the alarm for 2:20 am (east coast). Started relaunching the Apple Store app at 3 am sharp. Took about 8 mins of retrying every 15 secs or so but suddenly there were our two older iPhones listed! A couple of clicks and now we owe apple a small fortune for the next two years!They are due to arrive on Nov. 3. Then, like explorers (who are settlers with arrows in their backs) we'll see if any problems surface with these 'latest & greatest'! As someone who has enjoyed the ride since Apple ][s, just another newest thing from Apple.More to follow when the phones arrive.On Oct 27, 2017, at 4:10 PM, kaleese.bee@gmail.com [apple-iphone] <apple-iphone@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Thought I'd share my experience of trying to purchase the new iPhone X through the Apple Store at 12:01 AM 10/27.
I was interested in purchasing the unlocked version, which you would think meant being free agent able to go with whom you chose. Anyway, I clicked on all the correct choices, including AT&T, and was asked for my phone number, zip, etc. Clicked "continue" and was rejected.
I was originally with AT&T, so my phone number is AT&T and I do want an AT&T phone. Thing is, II am no longer with AT&T as I went with another carrier a few years ago that offered more affordable rates. Because of this carrier was not one of the 4 major providers, Apple was not able to confirm the phone number and I was unable complete the purchase of the "unlocked" phone.
Now I have NO idea when I will be able to purchase the phone, it could be months. It was extremely disappointing!
Apple needs to provide a SIM free unlocked phone. Accounting to Apple Support, this would solve problems like mine.
