This was me on the 8 pre order and I wasn’t even buying one!
Do you have to refresh manually or does that happen automatically?
Got a tip for us?

All by hand

Not quite the same. You can't get the same desktop experience on a viewport size of a phone or tablet, thus the need for mobile/tablet apps which specifically cater for the UX for a device screen of that size. A desktop browser gives you the screen real estate and also cater for inputs like mice and trackpads etc which lend to a richer full browser experience.
With Foxconn X output ramped up to 400,000 a week, i think its fair to say delivery will be on schedule for the pre-orders. I am leaning towards the 64GB though (a complete downgrade)
, seeing i am currently down by only 31 of 128 after the iOS 11 clean up
I hope
reinstates the 128GB model in the next iterations

400,000 a week doesn’t seem much with less than 3 weeks to go, that would be 1 - 1.5 million more. I thought rumours were there would be 12 million for launch? So is it looking like stock won’t be too bad for launch then compared to initial thoughts?
It’s peanuts. Wasn’t at&t alone expecting 1m orders for the X. That’s just one carrier in the US. Given the X pre orders will be available in over 55 countries from the 27th, that’s not much to go around.

That's hilarious thought in fairness I had 3 devices on the go (iPhone, iPad and Macbook). My iMac was only one I didn't use as have had to temporarily relocate my router and wifi sigal to that part of the house is temperamental!
Then again I was ordering a watch so maybe not so crazy
Finally Today I received the Apple iPhone 8+, after unboxing I do' like The Apple iPhone it's similar to Old iPhone 7 and 7 Plus I Already have Apple iPhone 7 Plus, So, I decide to move on new iPhone x because that's 100% unique iPhone yet.
I also had my iPhone, iPad and MacBook out last year for the iPhone 7 Plus pre order and will be doing the same this year for the iPhone X.That's hilarious thought in fairness I had 3 devices on the go (iPhone, iPad and Macbook).

More than enough to go around this forum i'd say
Do you think we could get priority access? Like concert tickets!!
Hey guys! Excitements comes closer and close while we are getting to launch day
I'm currently thinking of how to make the pre order. If my questions was already answered please excuse, a link would be great.
I'm still thinking if I should pre order and pick it up oder just let it ship. How are the exact steps when picking up? (Never done this)
I got the products in the basket, I checkout, chose pickup, chose my store - does he show here (assume it's not already sold out) availability on 03th nov? Or does he just skip it and I get to the payment?
How do you guys do it?
Pre-order and pickup
Or
Pre-order and ship?
All directly from Apple.
Thank you and greetings from Germany!

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea. Now, who's got the hotline to Tim?
Are they going to have it unlocked and sim free at launch? thanks If not are they all exactly the same and work on any carrier if they are unlocked but come with a sim card?
wow
iPhone X will be available for pre-order beginning Friday, October 27 in more than 55 countries and territories, and in stores beginning Friday, November 3

Indeed. I just can’t see how any but the few will get their hands on a phone the following week. I’ve revised my disappointment levels and set myself up to be happy if I get one before the turn of the year.
Those bought from Apple as sim free are unlocked day 1 in the UK.

That’s just really bad logistics. You don’t ship a million iPhones to Denmark versus a million to the USA. They have already got a set amount for each country and it’s not the same number across the board. Expect countries like UK, US, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, China etc. to have higher numbers than those in India, Czech Republic, Croatia etc..
Remember also that the stock has to be made specially for each country - language, packaging, any required regulatory markings etc. - so they will have had to plan specific stock allocations for each country. I suspect that in many of the 55 countries availability will be severely limited and possibly a few weeks before anyone takes delivery.
