I placed my order on Nov 9, the ETA was DEC 11 - 18 but then bumped to DEC 8 - 15. It's ridiculous that if I place a new order now (Nov 23) the ETA would be only 1 - 2 weeks later which is sooner than the ETA of my current order. Should I cancel my order and then order it again?
Got a tip for us?

An eta is what it says. Just estimated.
I bet you will get it sooner than if you were to order today.
Just relax and be patient.

It is a little disconcerting though when people are posting that they ordered a week or two after you and already have their device. I’ve been contemplating doing the same thing, but decided against it. If it now only takes 1-2 weeks to get an iPhone X, what about those who ordered 2 weeks ago? It’s super hard to be patient when you want it sooo bad!! Lol
Updated Nov 26: I did NOT cancel my order and it has been shipped today. ETA now is Dec 1!
Thanks! It really is estimated and it made a mess!
You were right! so I kept the order
OMG that's exactly how I feel! It's so unfair and disconcerting. But now the shipping has been bumped again. So glad to see this happening.
I walked in my Apple Store (Perimeter Mall - Atlanta) and walked out with a 256 Space Grey X
Just happened to be out and stopped by and picked one up no problem

On Saturday I decided that if my local apple store had them available for local pickup, I would get the X, if not I would wait for the next version of the phone. I purchased a 256 Space Gray AT&T phone, and had it in my hand 2 hours later.
For other people than the OP that are thinking of ordering a phone, now is the time to check local stores for pickup.

How about Best Buy? Order today and get it by the 8th delivered/pickup.
Is this with a carrier?
If so, just a note, if you cancel you might not be able to turn around and re-order it immediately.
I tried that last year with ATT (i ordered the wrong size) and it took 24 hours for Apple/ATT systems to sync to make my ATT account eligible for an upgrade.

You might get it sooner then the 1st. Mine shipped out Saturday and had a date for Wednesday. Now it updated and said it will be at my house tomorrow. I ordered 2.Updated Nov 26: I did NOT cancel my order and it has been shipped today. ETA now is Dec 1!
