I had that thought too..on and off. I mean...i know it’s 2-3 week at max, but i have seen some members got to 1st batch from december...like really.
To all those, saying your still going to get your phone.. blah blah blah...
BS.. this isn't about when you get your phone only anymore... its more about FAIRNESS... Like you said.. Some mofo in December gets their phone on Monday I think.. one person order 49 MINS late mind you.. got a bump, ridiculous.
[doublepost=1509683418][/doublepost]Out of curiosity, anybody in Michigan ?
If so what part?

YES I totally agree with your point about FAIRNESS
Honestly i think we have been tricked by apple 2 times
1.We couldn't get into the apple store page when others could, thus we got 17-24
2.In 17-24 group the IUP get priority and there's no **** happens with pay in full
IT SEEMS LIKE IF WE PAID IN FULL WE ARE NOT HUMAN? WHY COULDN'T APPLE BE FAIR TO ALL THE CUSTOMERS?
If this order doesn't change after 24 hours, I will wait at nov.4 midnight and try to pick up at store that day if there's availability.

maybe they think that the people who are paying in full are more likely to be scalpers, so they're making us wait weeks so the resale value wont be as enticing

Dude I'm angry at oct.27 but I'm ok after two days because it seemed like the 17-24 would definitely move ahead to 10th or sooner, because all the 10th move to 3rd.
it really sucks when IUP get their phones on monday and nothing changes with paid-in-full. I'm not angry about IUP dudes but i'm really angry that big company like apple would play such extermely unfairness trick.

Time of Order Completed: No idea, was frantic trying to get the page/app to work
Phone: 256gb Space Gray (T-Mobile)
Vendor: Apple website (via Safari on a MBP)
Email Confirmation: 3:08am EST
Nov. 17th - 24th
Status: Order in Progress
No pending charge on CC
Usually the iPhone app or the iPad app would work for me, but THIS time I got thru first on my MBP, my cousin (located in Jamaica, but delivery to the States) ordered 2 256gb PIF (T-Mobile) and initially got the Nov. 10th window (Nov. 10th - 17th I believe) but got bumped to today - his confirmation email came in at 2:06am (3:06am EST/12:06 Pacific).
October 27th was a bad day for me - couldn't get into Apple Store online in time AND Amazon/USPS lost my Super Mario Odyssey game that was guaranteed for Release Date Delivery that was ordered from January.
Even IF this continues to happen, I would still prefer paying for my device in full - I don't like tying up my budget with monthly costs, I am much more financially attuned to incurring a big expense and taking it slow that month or the month prior/after rather than taking on another subscription. But with the recent moves by Adobe/1Password/etc. and even Best Buy with their iPhone X tactics I am concerned.

thinking about going into the mall over the weekend and trying for a phone..... Hahaha jokes on me those campers aint leaving at all!
I’ll probably try running over to the Best Buy and Verizon store at lunch and see if I get lucky.
Well I canceled my Nov 17-24 order. I’m at UPS now with my cousin, he’s letting me have one of his launch day phones!
Good luck guys, hope everyone gets bumped up!
*Update* one of the UPS boxes had nothing in it, looks like someone stole the phone out of the box

Still nothing here also. I know it's only 2 weeks away but watching everyone else get bumped is really annoying
Hey Guys,
So I cancelled. EFF APPLE... Ordering experience to be specific...
I took my chances... went to the mall and got there around 7:30 AM, about 100 ppl ahead of me. They came around taking reservations, and I got a spot.. Doors opened at 8am, we were in for a long wait.
In the corner of my Eye, I saw a store opening its doors as well... it was AT&T.. Told the fella in line next to me, you'll remember me if I come back, right, he said off course..
I didn't come back
ATT took care of me... They waived any upgrade/activation fees as courtesy, They gave me an iPhone 8 Plus virtually free (had to open a new line, but gave me a credit for the life of loan to offset the additional line charges), anddddd $100 applied ontop of all that, because I chose to buy the phone with them instead of Apple..
PS - I had to buy it on NEXT (thats how ATT gets commission from APPLE) but can pay it all off after 30 days. Exact same price, nothing additional, no Gotchas
I really wish the best for all of your...
EFF APPLE, EFF IUP

Time of Order: 12:16 AM (already said 2-3 weeks at that point)
Got that could not connect to Carrier BS and a reservation email. Was able to complete order around lunch time.
Phone: Verizon 256gb silver
Vendor: Apple.com safari
Method of Payment: Paid in Full/Outright
Nov17-24th
No Charge (just checked)
Tried looking up tracking by reference on UPS and nothing.
On a positive note, the case company I bought from did free expedited shipping to get me my case by yesterday. If only I had a phone to put in it .... FML

I feel you man did the same, but just tried my luck at local stores and it worked out..
I don't think the shortage or demand is as low or high as is being portrayed.. Give it a shot
Total Same boat I am in right now, but with as Space Gray.
I'm hoping for the bump over the weekend, but not hoping too much.
