Just picked mine up a few minutes ago! WOW is this thing beautiful! The screen. Looks huge! The phone itself is small compared to my 8 plus but I’m already used it. The OLED screen is just awesome, compared to the LCD ones. Face ID hasn’t failed me once yet and it’s super quick! You guys will love yours! It’s been a blast hanging out with y’all! Next year we’ll do it all over again!
 
Working from home today, waiting for UPS man. Also have some other things happening here today so I'm occupied and not just sitting here.
 
Hi! First time poster but have been checking this thread compulsively over the past week. Here are my details: Ordered 64GB Silver 10/27 at 8:30AM CT. I was given a shipping estimate of 11/3 to 11/10. My order status still shows as "Partialpreorder". My credit card was declined on Sunday b/c my card thought it was fraud. I got a text from TMO and cleared it up within 15 minutes. I live in downtown Chicago. I still don't see a charge on my credit card and feel like I have been bothering the TMO reps daily trying to ensure that nothing is screwed up with my order. Really excited to get the phone, just paranoid that something is wrong with my order. I see a lot of other folks with Silver 64GB that ordered after me and their phones are out for deliver today - just want to ensure that everything is ok! Any advice for me?

If your card isn’t charged yet I would call to cancel the order and go do a walk in at a store.

There’s reports that iPhone X is available at some stores.

All I can say is wow. I haven't had the chance to really use mine just yet as it's updating to 11.1, but when I set it up as a new phone and played around for a minute, it's gorgeous. FaceID works quickly and easily.

The first time I got to the home screen two tiny toggle switches appeared in the top right corner to kind of illustrate that you pull down there to get to control center. Nice touch Apple.

Space Gray definitely looks more black in person as well.

Edit: It certainly feels a lot smaller than the iPhone 7 Plus that I am used to.

Picked mines up from ups this morning. The screen is great, hard going back to the 7+. I was worried about how the stainless steel band would look on the silver but I am very happy I ended up going with it. Good luck everyone and enjoy yours phones.
 
Does anyone know what delivered : other- released mean on ups?? My ups says this and idk what it means? I hope they didn’t give it to someone.
 
It’s the 11.1 release not the beta. It asked me to upgrade to it as a part of the initial set up once it saw that my iPhone 7 backup was from 11.1

From a UPS Store, yes it has to be delivered there instead of your house and then you get notified you can pick up. You are better off selecting an actual UPS Customer Center because then it doesn’t get sent out for delivery. I had mine at 7:32 this morning that way.

Yes, I've been told that multiple times, but I couldn't pick it up until after work anyway and I'd rather not go out of the way to pick it up (I don't have a car). Out for Delivery so it should be delivered to the location today, hopefully by the time I can pick it up (6 pm).

Could T-Mobile have not made it more noticeable that they were shipping a phone to my house.

so used mine for a bit, can we just take a moment to appreciate the screen. jesus. going back to my 7 plus makes me realize what i’ve been missing
 
My cc is finally charged this morning since Sun cc fraud alert issue. I had already expected no shipment today so not at home to sign. If they ship today, I guess I can't really complain since the estimated ship date has always been 11/2-3. Either way, looks like a couple more days of waiting.

At least the one I ordered from Apple is arriving today. TMobile take note:
  • Apple mobile app is fully self contained and runs flawlessly. TMobile app is not much different than website so the pages load incredibly slow during the surge.
  • After ordering, Apple allows change of delivery address up until preparing to ship. TMobile requires order to be canceled in order for delivery address to change.
  • Apple allowed upgrade customers (similar to TMobile EIP and JOD) to get all their paperwork done before pre-order started. This allowed them to just finish the transaction just as quickly as those folks paying full price.

You only get a moment.

Done?

Ok, now it's time to get used to all of the gestures. I'm still reaching for a home button.
 
Looked on T-Mobile app seen my shipping changed from 11/2-11/3 to 11/3-11/6 but clicked on it and went to the website I’m still 11/2-11/3 T-Mobile is messing up.

Sooooooo pissed right now. Says it's on the UPS truck for delivery today but I don't think it'll be delivered. I work downtown Houston and the Streets are all blocked off for the Parade since the Astros won. FML

That sucks. Maybe they'll find a way.
 
My email says they left it at the front porch, that’s stupid anyone can see it? It better not get stolen before my daughter gets home.
