Nice! The silver 256 ATT was available at a few stores for hours yesterday and the same today. Must have been a big shipment to the stores.
I was leaning towards the space gray but I always have cases on my phones. And now with the all screen front, there are no white bezels - it's the same thing now in the front. I love the look of silver too so I said why not. I logged in at 6am and my order was done at 603am. (I signed up for the Apple upgrade program.)
I'm only keeping this thing for a year anyway unlike my 6 plus which I've had for 3 years. I want the x plus or whatever the hell they're gonna call it
Yes!!! I want to give a hug to the creators of the istocknow bot. Got a whole bunch of notifications for T-mobile space grays in CT today, after thinking last night that we'd have to wait another week for a fresh batch.
Right there with you. Same exact story except phone shipping to Cincinnati area.
Congrats!! Feels good, doesn't it!!!
Big shipment to my Apple Stores in Philly today! Still some 64GB Space Grays available - even at 9am EST.
With mine already in "shipped" status, I dare not give into my "addiction" and grab one. It will be such a hassle canceling a shipped order.. uggh.
Has anyone here actually done that very thing?? ^^ Cancelled a "shipped" order? Well - u can't cancel it.. I mean - chose to refuse Package? Or chose to (planning to) return the shipped one when it arrives - and gone to a store to get one in stock?
Same here. Ordered at 3:16 EST, 256 silver x 2, both IUP. By far the longest I’ve had to wait on a new phone at launch. I swear if this is because of AT&Ts ineptitude...I don’t even know why they had to check with the carrier since we use the upgrade program?
It may be because the phone comes pre-configured with our current phone numbers.
Still sitting in Incheon after having arrived there on Wednesday. UPS delivery still saying tomorrow.
I did contact UPS' customer service last night, and they told me this.
To which I replied with...
They came back with this and I let it go. My thoughts though.. "Duh".
If this is still going to make it on time, from looking at UPS flights, this looks like the last chance to make a flight out of Korea. Hopefully there's one earlier than that which I missed.

Apple told me you can't cancel it if it ships which is why I preempted my shipping by canceling my order.
That is correct. Can’t even cancel once it goes preparing to ship.
If you are paying in full you can buy another in store and refuse shipment. If you are on IUP you are locked in and can’t sign up again on the same line so you have to wait.
I had the same issue but mine finally went through and it's shipped - just lulling around in China still though.
I got the reserved thanks to AT&T the first time around but I tried pre-ordering again and it got through the second time. I want to say that your OIP status will change soon because mine FINALLY did after the dates being pushed to Nov. 20-27th.
I find this troubling from a business standpoint. Apple asks "hey, UPS, where are all those iPhones we trusted you to get to our customers?" UPS gonna reply with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's the part I don't understand.
I was early to work today and I went on the app and noticed that my local Apple Store as the phone I want in stock. But I can't reserve it because mine already shipped and is stuck in Korea. I don't get why its taken days. to clear and no one has an answer.
True if your shipped one is via IUP.. but what if your shipped one is signed up with AT&T bought thru Apple..com? I still believe the refuse shipment option works in that case. And even if not. If you're coming from ATT payment plan for ur last phone you can sign up your in-Store reserved one for IUP which without requiring a phone number to upgrade. Nor will they require your ATT phone as trade in. Then you just return the ATT pre-order shipped phone you eventually get from Apple. And just move your SIM from your current phone to new IUP X..
Any flaws in my plan there?
I guess what I meant is finally an update since Wednesday. It seems like there’s a few ppl in my boat whose phone arrived Weds at 7:40 pm at Incheon.
Mine was also sitting in CN for days, now in KR for last the two days...
Expedited delivery to Canada ---> Nov. 14, 2019 while every one else who walked into an Apple store already picked their iPhone 11!!!
Or Apple is debating whether or not to send these phones back to CN to fix those green lines on the screen.
After such an awful experiance with Apple and UPS everything is possible at this point.
Never, Ever, Never that I will be making orders on inital offerings from Apple. NEVER AGAIN!
[doublepost=1510506764][/doublepost]Sorry, but just realized that Samsung is conveniently located in KR, so screens on our phones can be fixed right on the spot. No need to go back to CN. Yeaaah!

The tricky part, for Apple enthusiasts, is that there really is no faster way to get your phone. It's pre-order or hope that you can get it on opening day by standing in a line for 48 hours or hope that the in/store reservation system becomes available to you before your pre-order. So it's not like we have a whole lot of other choice than to pre-order as I see it.
The days of "everybody who stays up on preorder night gets their phone on launch day" are over. That ship sailed two years ago. There aren't enough facilities in China working around the clock for 364 days ahead to get out the demand for all the new iPhones that exists on a typical Apple iPhone launch.
