Sorry mate, I wouldn't expect any movement until Monday at the earliest. I'm in the same boat 13-20.
wthtruck carrying Xs involved in an accident??? That should make the CNN Breaking News. Everything about this X is simply paranormal
Get Macrumors on it. Front page news
Anybody noticed the display is a tad warm? Is this just because of the same thing as iPhone 7 where the glue had not fully dried and it will go after a few days ? Managed to correct it with accessibility tools for the meantime anyway
Did you install 11.1 on your 7? If so have you updated your X to 11.1 as without doing so it won't be able to install a backup from a newer version of iOS. Setup as a new phone to do that, then restore. If you installed 11.2 beta on your 7 you are stuck as it doesn't exist for the X yet.
I set up my iPhone X as new to update the iOS and then I could do my restore. Have you tried this?
And now my iPhone X has a new playmate

So I had a frustrating, annoying, but ultimately happy experience today.
Turned up at the Apple Store in Lakeside for my 10:00am pick up appointment for my iUP upgrade. Went through all the info as usual, signed, they pressed update, but I was declined.....
Now, this was a little odd, add I know my credit score is good, I own my own house, and had made 13 payments so I was eligible to upgrade. I called Barclays who made a couple of suggestions, because I used my passport for the initial application, but brought my driving licence for this upgrade and they did have a few problems locating my agreement. Went beck to the store, after a short wait they input everything again, I gave them my passport number (yes, I know it off by heart), they input it again but still declined.....
So back on the phone to Barclays who suggested I check with Experion. It turned out the info that I was giving Apple (which was 100% accurate) was very, very different to what Experion had and bore no relation to my actual details. The only way to change this was to write to them with proof of everything and then it should be OK. This obviously would be time consuming, but if that's what I've got to do, then that's what I've got to do.
I left and headed off home, decided just on the off chance to call EE as I had been due an upgrade with them for several months but want going to bother due to being in the iUP.
If I'd got the phone through the iUP I would be paying £64pm for the phone plus a £69 upfront fee, plus about £30 for my EE tariff, which included 30Gb per month. With EE, because I'd been with them for more years than I can remember, they charged me £40 upfront for the phone, plus £77 a month for the phone and 60Gb of data, with an option to upgrade every year rather than every two. That in itself is saving me £29 initially, plus £17 per month. Add onto that my settlement figure with Barclays is £340 and I've been quoted £430 for my iPhone 7 plus 256Gb.
Yes I've got to wait up to two weeks before I get the phone, but my original reservation was for the 18th anyway, so I'm happy with that for that saving.
Goodbye iUP....

i can't wait for my 13-20 November delivery slot :-( Aren't any orders being shipped between 3rd and 13th?
I also tried JL this morning but no luck. I wWish i read about Argos having stock sooner.
Is it worth going to Regent Street or Covent Garden around 5pm today and see if i can get an unreserved one?

There was a small queue outside my local apple store for those who wanted to walk in and buy seems they had stock still... wouldn’t tell me just told me to join the queue
A good point, but I’m keeping the Very one as its on 12 months BNPL whereas Apple order was bought on credit card at regular interest rate.
Just backed up mine and all activity data appears to be there.
the hardest part is working from home today without actually unboxing anything
Have cancelled my Apple 2-3 week order as I got one ordered from Argos this morning. John Lewis website was clearly struggling and wouldn’t let me complete checkout, it kept timing out. So I just downloaded the Argos app and it worked very smoothly indeed.
Thanks for the reminder on here about those pre-orders going live.
