Oh wow, this may throw off our order number theory....AT&T paid in full 256 Space Gray. No credit card charge, “Order in Progress”, order W495xxxxxx. No phones in stock nearby. Waiting somewhat impatiently. Still in 17-24.
For curiosity, I just tried adding an iphone X for a separate Apple ID in the Apple Store app shopping cart, says ships in 3-4 weeks and currently unavailable for pickup at store near me. I guess that makes me feel a little better..... just a little.....
