Mine was really slow the first 20% but it sped up considerably above approximately 60%.

Everyone should also remember that if you did a restore from backup your phone will need to re-index which will hurt battery life for awhile. After a few days it will be back to normal though.
 
My delivery dates are going in the wrong direction.

I ordered an AT&T every year NEXT SG 256G X via the Apple store on the 27th and received my order confirmation email at 00:10 PDT. I was given delivery dates of Nov 17 - Nov 24.

On 2 Nov at 01:30 am PDT my CC was charged for the taxes. I figured that things were looking up. Nope. I just checked my order status and now my delivery dates are 20 Nov - 27 Nov. Go figure!!
 
Can anyone tell me the website where I can see the location/factory where the iPhone X is made? Saw it in this thread a couple days ago but can't remember the page. :(

Edit: Found it! Sorry.

I have a question, hope anyone is able to answer: so I ordered my iPhone X 64 GB Silver, and a friend of mine told me about the reservation option which I totally forgot about. The problem is: I already paid for my order on the Apple Online Store. Now I'm left with not enough money to make a reservation and pay at the store.

Now, I was wondering: does anyone have experience with 'switching' your Online order for a reservation? Like, if I'm able to make a reservation to pick up an iPhone X tomorrow, can I use the receipt of my Online Store order instead of paying for the device again?

Because that would be totally epic, and I would definitely go for it. :p
 
Quick update: iPhone X is up and running as of about 5:15pm. It took over 2 and half hours to finally activate, after a trip to the Sprint store that did nothing and a trip to the Apple Store only to have it actually finally work just after I got in the cue for an Apple Technician to look at it. Thankfully those two places are only about 15 minutes from my house. Face ID is great, but I must admit I have hit the bottom of the phone a couple times out of habit to press a home button that isn't there. Interested to see how it does tonight in my dark bedroom. Now to wait for the return box and wipe my 7plus. It has served me well.

Apple is definitely prioritizing iUP users. I’m on AT&T and ordered on the apple Store app and got my confirmation email at 3:11am EST and my 11/17-11/24 shipping window hasn’t changed. My order isn’t even preparing for shipment yet.
same here. 3:11 est att next I see a zero dollar hold on my card I'm hoping tomorrow it will be cleared and it will say the 90 something dollars

Same here: 256GB Space Gray with T-Mobile with Nov 17-24 delivery window and no movement since the day I pre-ordered it. It’s pretty clear Apple prioritized those iUP orders to avoid the bad press the had last year.
 
Hey guys, just chiming in here. Got my iPhone X 256gb space grey today. LOVED tracking everything down with you guys. To those who didn't get it yet. Its DEFINITELY worth the wait. You are gonna fall in love with it as soon as you turn it on. Till next year! Take care!

My charge is for the full tax amount and it has been on my card since 2 Nov 1:30 am PDT. I just got off the phone with Apple and was told to disregard the fact that my delivery dates moved in the wrong direction (from 17-24 to 20-27 Nov) because of the fact that my card was charged for the full tax amount trumps all other indicators. I was advised that I should be seeing preparing to ship soon. Hopefully, the Apple rep knew what he was talking about.

I was told today that chances are that you will get it before 11/16. I have the same ship dates between 11/16 -11/24. Fingers crossed
 
Reporting back in. I thinking the X was hot while it was updating,iCloud backup pairing to watch and playing with it while charging. It still gets worm but not as hot as it was before.

Last year I signed up for Apple's iPhone upgrade program and am on AT&T. I ordered through the app on my phone and got through around 1215-1230 am PST on 10/27.

No evidence that IUP got priority. I bought a 256 SG Tmobile with an initial ship date of 10-17. Got phone today.
 
Just wanted to mention something I noticed. I have an iPad Pro 10.5”. I have True Tone turned on and screen looks great (120hz helps). iPhone X actually looks better to me with True Tone turned off. Might just be me, but screen looks a little on the yellow side with it turned on. I’ll take screenshots later if anyone wants. Try toggling it off and see if you like it better. I left it on for my iPad Pro, but I think I’ll leave it off for my iPhone X. Anyone else notice this?
I was going to give a few hours or a day. Then switch back to true tone off. At first glance true tone was not that special. It does reduce the blue screen coloring when iPhone is turned off axis.
 
Finally got delivered at 815. Seamless set up and Face ID works great. Sent a talking poopmoji to my 4 yr old nephew he is still giggling. Can’t wait to really play with it tomorrow
 
Finally!

This was a fun launch and I'm glad my babies are now in my loving arms. Lol

Until next year!
