I’m not even gonna try to go to my local Apple store because I’m sure it’s a mess here in Atlanta. I may go there just to take a look at the device and check it out.
I just drove by... Line near my apple store is 200+ people deep... and its the only store open right now in the mall

Just went into my local Best Buy to see what they had gotten in. They wouldn't tell me numbers, but apparently they got extremely limited stock in of all the carriers iphoneX's and sold out within minutes as there was a line. They also told me that they don't have any guarantees to get any in again until around Christmas time. I live in an area where the nearest apple store is 45 minutes away in 3 different directions so I wasn't surprised by this.

Uhhh... I'm on chat with apple since my card was charged yesterday and is still OIP.

She literally told me that it's pre-auth and could be there til the 17th? Regardless of my phone shipping or not???

Zero movement since ordering on Apple.com. On line at my Apple store. Got here at 12pm and got reservation. Hopefully I’ll have one in hand within the next hour

My local Target and Apple Stores had some models in stock, but the wait / line was 3-4 hours.

Yah... its not worth it.... Unless you got there early, its going to be a long wait for nothing (hopefully they tell people when they are out)

I wouldn't listen to anything a rep says. This is extremely normal for an Apple order.

1. Card gets charged.
2. Product ships.
3. Apple.com status gets updated.

In that order.

#3 outside Apple store. Already cancelled my pre order and checked that my eligibility has rolled back and store have one for me. Waking up at 230am was totally not worth it. This is my first time as a walk in. I got here today at around noon and about 20 people ahead of me.

I haven't decided which posts are more depressing: These, or IUP orders that got moved ahead in line. :(

It just keeps me busy reading all of these comments. I’m trying to remain positive that maybe we will get some movement well before the 17th. Especially since the shipping times on the Apple website has improved themelsves.

My pending $1.00 charge dropped off from Amex but was not charged anything since. Is this normal?

Yeah the pre-auth is usually only at the time of the order, not two weeks before it ships.
