Could be a while. I’ve been waiting for almost 24 hours now with no update.
I need THIS back!!
Yes - those clouds move randomly across the sky background. Once you've tasted jailbroken life - all Stock iOS'es are boring.
so ugly
so ugly
Each to his own, for sure!! But at least it’s not as boring as stock iOS. Now THAT’s “ugly”. Lol!
Believe it or not I prefer stock. Jail broken has it's niche, but I appreciate the simplicity and ease of use. I don't care how my apps are placed, or if the background moves. I care about easily and quickly checking my e-mail, text, call, and investments.
Well you still get all of that when jailbroken too. No trade offs in functionality.
The trade off is all the work I do for now for no reason lol. It’s like this, you could retune your car to make it faster, but if you don’t care about the speed why do the work?
lol... Well you've clearly never jailbroken before... It's not about tuning up and getting faster.. None of that changes with a JB. Your phone is your phone - hardware-wise.. A much better analogy would be... Why do we go to the car wash a couple times a month or 'ever' wax our car or for that matter?.. Why do we put up unique decorations at the holiday time each year? It just gives us a better looking property and shows some individuality.. Why do you change your outer clothes each day.. other than for cleanliness reasons? To show your own individuality.
Now jailbreaking also gives you access to things Apple won't. Like the STUPID placement of the dictation button at bottom RIGHT corner now on iPhone X where it was bottom mid left before.. Can't reach the damn thing with one hand use anymore.. That would be one of the first things a jailbreak tweak would address.. Putting that dictation button where 'you' need it.
...We don't have to sidetrack this thread.. Was just chiming in that stock is so boring... My opinion.. take it or leave it.
Can we PLEASE not turn this into a thread about jailbreaking. The title of this thread is "Apple.com /Apple Store app iPhone X/8/8 plus Pre-order and Dispatch thread"

You are correct I have never jail broken, I also think your background is ugly (my opinion) as I prefer simple streamlined consistency for apps. My college roommate jail breaks and I find it useless. Your examples are equally as bad because wax is used to protect your car, making the car look good is a side effect. Clothes were originally created too for protection in addition to cleanliness. Lastly no one uses my phone but me, so I would not be showing individuality by jail breaking it and doing anything.
Anyways I agree let's not side track this thread, as you mentioned this is also my opinion and you can too take it or leave it
. As an appropriate thread up-date mine iPhone X has made the rounds of Leaving and then re-arriving at ZhengZhou. Hopefully this means it will leave and stay gone next!

I think that is a good update. Let's keep in mind that it is currently 2 AM in the morning their time right now. I wouldn't expect an update until late today/overnight (depending on where you live)
Same here, been in "Clearance in Progress" for about 30 hours now. Hopefully something happens tonight.
From some of the tracking results that have been posted recently, it looks like it's taking about 3 days to get cleared. So, for those of us that had our phones ship first thing Monday morning, it'll probably be Thursday before they even get out of China, and then probably get here the first half of next week. Sadly, the original delivery estimate of Friday seems unrealistic.

I've seen no movement today on mine. Apple shows the 30th as expected delivery but I am doubtful.

I got it today. It went from ZhengZhou, to Incheon, to Anchorage to Louisville in one day. Then this morning around 4 am it was loaded into a brown UPS truck and brought to a UPS facility the next city over. It was delivered by 2 pm today. I am loving it.

My boyfriend ordered his on Oct 29th, shipped Nov 21st, and it's still in transit from Incheon.
His is supposed to be delivered to me tomorrow too, but the tracking doesn't show it's in the US.
What was Apple's estimated delivery date on their Order Status page?
Been waiting 3 days without update...

My has been stuck waiting for the clearing agency review since the 25... I hope it starts moving soon.
Mine hasn’t gone to the second customs yet. Still stuck at “arrival scan” in China.
just got a departure scan from china and a rescheduled delivery date for Monday.
Mine must be on the same plane, my tracking is showing the same thing...departed China and updated delivery date of Monday
