After thinking for a while the other day, I decided that I didn’t really need 256 but if it shipped soon I’d be fine with it. Today couldn’t have come together any better, though.
My sales rep from Verizon called and told me they had some in stock and that if I was interested in a silver 64, that they had a few but it was still first come first serve. I just so happened to work around the corner from there and be on my lunch break, so I picked up one of those instead.
Coming from a slowly dying Nexus 5x, this thing is awesome. I’m loving it so far.
It turned out the Apple app was the worst place to preorder iPhone XOk so just to be clear:
The ideal route would be to preorder through Apple’s app for best chance of 11/3 delivery since Apple gets all the stock first?
It turned out what people said about Apple website was better for preordering was not correct.I remember somewhere in this thread people said basically that Apple’s website was better for preordering than the Verizon app/site because going through Apple means you get priority on your order and a better chance of receiving it on 11/3
The comment above turned out to be very true indeed.The carriers each have their own stock. People who order via the Apple website are only competing with other people who order via the Apple website, not with people who order directly though their carrier. At least for that initial stock.
It turned out I did not have any issues at all to get my iPhone X on the launch date. When a situation happens like this, do not make any changes to the existing order. Wait until you get the phone on hand and then make changes to whatever needs to be done. I paid off my phone after I received it as it was automatically ordered in payment plan during the preorder date. Thankfully, I did not mess anything on my preorder by making any changes.This! Wait until you have the phones in hand before you breathe on your VZW account.
When I preordered the 6s all was good on my preorder but I tried to make a change to my wife’s line and the order got cancelled. Learned my lesson fast.
256 GB is for a peace of mind. So, no worries to reorganize the memory. The peace of mind is worth it and that is why 256 GB is so popular and always sold out first befor 64 GB.Yeah you can definitely survive on 64gb. When I had the 256 iPhone 7+, I basically downloaded every album one my Apple Music library so I could go with the lower tier data plan. Now though, my work pays for my cell service, and I’ll still probably download about 2,500 songs, download a good 20 games, store my photos but optimize storage, and still have about 20gb left.
I won’t be getting mine until Monday as well. I’ve been tracking it on Fedex. It started out in PA and is now in Memphis, TN. I live in New Jersey btw. Not sure why it went to Tennessee.Well I’m bummed I won’t be getting my phone until Monday. It was originally scheduled for delivery today![]()

That sucks. The vzw app says my X will be delivered by 11/25. Fedex says 11/27. Not sure what to believe. But since the package is in Tennessee, I’m assuming it’ll be here on Monday unfortunately.I wish mine was coming via FedEx. It’s coming from UPS and when I checked the tracking yesterday morning it said a UPS trailer was late arriving to the last destination, which was somewhere in IL. I live in Missouri

Fedex moves almost all packages through Memphis no matter how "close" you or I might feel two locations are. There are instances where they'll move goods by truck but generally speaking, presume your package will be flying. 99% of the time it works perfectly so personally, I don't question their logic / logistics.It started out in PA and is now in Memphis, TN.

Well congrats...kinda pissed but congrats to you!Silver 256
Well congrats...kinda pissed but congrats to you!
