Hong Kong 2017 iPhone X pre-order thread.

I'm justifying the purchase by the fact that it's about 150 quid cheaper here than the uk.

pre-orders open at 3pm HK time on the 27th October.

Ideally I'd like a black 64GB but I'll take what I can get on the day, if anything.

Interestingly this seems to be the only HK post..?

Did you manage to order anything? I couldn't get on to the app for 30 minutes (the website started working after 20 minutes. It was already at 5-6 weeks. I tried to order and it was then sold out when I was purchasing so didn't get anything).

Considering queuing tomorrow but looks like it will be very popular... heard stores in HK are paying 8,000 HKD (1,025 USD) above retail price and stores in Shenzhen will pay 10,000 RMB (1,500 USD) above retail price to buy your phone. Almost worth it as a business opportunity if you could be guaranteed to get one...

Well turns out the Hong Kong stores don’t allow any queuing any more

pre-booking a reservation for the 3rd didn't work.
The 4th was a fail, because the system didn't accept my code
I got one yesterday - here's my story
