Mine delivered on launch day came with unreleased 9.0.3
Im in the 24-1st delivery window, would be very happy if it arrived a week early! Im presuming that this is the third window, after the 13-20 folk, as no-one seems to have talked about any other dates.

Interestingly, the website is down now, I get 'We're sorry, but our Order Status services are extremely busy right now. Please try again later.' when I try to check my order, bit bizarre given that I would imagine now is when everything would be starting to settle down!
The site goes down every Sunday for a few hours for routine maintenance...

Yep same with the app. Standard maintenance maybe?
 
Starting to get really frustrated with not being able to reserve it now. Been putting up with my 6s with it’s broken screen and shocking battery life. Even contemplating giving up with the X and getting the 8. The delivery on the X is still 4 weeks if I do it that way feels like ive been waiting forever!
 
Swore black and blue after the last Argos delivery disaster I’d never buy from them again - such a sucker and saw minutes ago they are promising to deliver SG 256 tomorrow and ordered without a second thought. I’m an idiot I’m sure. Heading out on the highway to disappointment.
 
I can reserve an X for anyone like others have on this thread. I’m on IUP so can see more stock than those who aren’t, just pm me

For anyone interested JL Oxford Street have the following (confirmed by phone it should be accurate as it was last nights stock check):

64GB SG = 5
64GB Si = 61
256GB Si = 5

Unfortunately i've been told they won't reserve or ship like they do with other items :( Good luck to anyone that makes the arduous pilgrimage to Oxford Street in search of the mighty Apple Deity :D

Any 256GB in Watford or Brent Cross?

I’ve been thinking of getting the 8 plus and saving £200 but the problem I have is this is the new gen device. I know in a years time I’ll regret having an old gen device and not waiting a few weeks.
 
Tried again with JL and the lady did send my request across. Unfortunately by the time I got call back the 256GB phones had all gone. But he did confirm there were 60 64GB's if anyones interested.
 
Just looked, showing SG only in Stratford.

Edit: and gone (to someone else, only going to get silver :))
Yep, back to the ‘we’re not taking reservations now’ screen for me atm.

What I have noticed is that it will let me back in at arbitrary times or intervals with hard browser refreshes so I’d imagine they’ve got a queuing/traffic management system in place to mitigate load. It’ll likely be the same reason why some people saw the online store come up a while before others on preorder day.
 
Was in the Apple Store in Belfast today picking up a cover for mine, seen 3 or 4 people picking up their iPhone X's, so theres definitely stock in Belfast somewhere

strange. I’ve been on the site from 6am each morning and only today was the SG version.
