Anyone who had "Preparing for Shipment" How long before that point did get to "shipped"? Im just wondering if it is pretty fast after "Preparing for Shipment"
Also how do you track by reference on UPS? I mean know where you have to go, but what numbers do you put in?

Me too.. 5:09 PM EDT here now, 39 minutes late and the truck is in the neighborhood across the street, seemingly stopping at every house.
They’ve definitely made it smoother. There was still an iOS version discrepancy (I was told the X would arrive with 11.1 by my local store. It didn’t, so I had to download it and install on the x before I could restore from backup), but it still went smoothly overall.
I’m really glad they fixed that horrible bug that would throw your camera roll pics all out of chronological order when restoring a backup. That used to be a big pain point for me.
We now go LIVE to iPhone X Mission control! iPhone X is preparing for launch as the iTunes backup and restore countdown. We now go down to the field and to Walter Cronkite
It feels great in the hand. Def a premium feel and gorgeous design. I almost hate to put a case on the beauty. Gonna go w the black case upper left. Spigen screen protectors def not cut precise to the notch.
Love launch day! How’s everyone else making out so far?

It's going great for me. After having this gem for a few hours, I can conclude that the iPhone X far exceeded my expectations. This is the BEST piece of Apple hardware I've owned so far! Apple never ceases to amaze!
I don't understand why people keep referring to an X plus in the future. Apple has always released the plus phones right along with the smaller one. I would think if that was their intention it would have been launched at the same time as the X. I, personally, think there will be no X plus. Just my humble opinion based on past releases.

Hope it goes well for you. I'm, currently, having an issue with the Apple Watch pairing. I'm sure that it will all work out in the end though.
FYI, I was able to activate via iTunes. I tried this the first time, but it never popped up in the iTunes window. It would just say "iPhone" on a white screen. Updated to the latest version of High Sierra, even though there were no iTunes related updates, and then it worked. Currently restoring from backup via iTunes... not looking forward to how much of a PITA getting my watch working again will be.
El mio tambien pero de seguro no va a llegar hoy. Ellos no hacen deliveries los sabados ni tampoco dejan que uno lo busque... asi que esperemos que el lunes lo tengamos en nuestras manos.
I got mine setup with no issues. Sorry you’re having a tough time.I don't understand why people keep referring to an X plus in the future.

iPhone X picked up from UPS CC! It's been real on this thread guys and gals! See you next year on the next one!
I have the same tracking as you. Mine just landed in Anchorage. Waiting for what it will do next. Go to Louisville or Ontario?
Yeah.... we are screwed by UPS! There is no UPS flight out of ICN on Saturday and they only seem to fly to Sunday-Friday. So, it looks like UPS lied to us when it said "Delivers Mon Nov 3". Can't see how it's going to get from ICN to our cities in 24 hours if it leaves ICN on Sunday night.
But, I guess getting hosed by UPS for a couple of days is still better than "Delivers Nov 17-24" Still sucks though.... got all excited about Monday
Check your tracking now. I was in the same boat as you and it just showed up in Anchorage. Note that mine originally showed a departure time of 1:17AM and now has been updated with one at 10:07 PM....no clue how it departed 2 times?!!

For everyone that has delivery dates next week and beyond, I highly recommend picking up at the CC. I was a little stressed about changed it, but it worked flawlessly. Not much of a line and definitely none of the stress of waiting for the driver. Doors opened at 8am here and I walked out by 8:20 with my phone.
I thought that part would be a pain but it actually wasn’t, a screen popped up and asked if I wanted to transfer my watch to the new iPhone and I said yes. Very seamless way Apple has made it to jump from one iPhone to another with n Apple Watch. I was impressed. I didn’t have to unpair or anything it did it on its own. Best of luck!
I feel like my UPS driver is drunk. But I know it’ll be worth it when I finally get it, which should be soon. But damn, this driver has been driving the most weirdest route I’ve seen...like I’m tired for him!
Nope... We are screwed :-( UPS99 landed at ANC 12:30AKDT, still says it's sitting at ICN. Darn!!!!!
I saw that. It was a truck going to an Apple store in San Francisco. But it wasn’t a pallet of iPhones on the plane.
Well the phone arrived I am doing the updates as we speak and then a restore...face id was simple to setup and is very reactive! The phone activation thru ATT went lighting fast for me. Good luck to the rest of you that have not received yours yet...its always a blast and slightly stressing but in a good way watching the phones make it into our hands.
