Ah, that's interesting. Gives me hope. Did you have to reserve under the iUP though?

Should also say I have had the IUP page open on a dedicated monitor! As soon as any notifications came through from @rh_monitorUK I started clicking through immediately, didn't even bother to check if it was London store, let the page on Apple.com do that
Existing and new iUP members see exactly the same stock, as is reflected on iStock Now.
Existing members have the added ability of seeing queue lengths etc (for instance, an existing iUP member would see Newcastle Eldon Square available from Dec 12th and can commit to that date, a new iUP member would just see “not available”)
The site says check back at 06:00 but when new stock is added that message disappears regardless of what time it is.
I have an Apple ID with an existing iUP membership and one without.

Follow the method I used in my previous comment, have istockcheck or istocknow sites open on a computer, while having your phone open on the apple store app, then the iUP section and as far as it will let you go into making the reservation. As soon as the stock site shows it is available in a London store just start speeding through the reservation process, where the longest part is entering your phone number and then using Touch ID to confirm reservation. Stock can also appear at any time during the day, I got mine at 8:30 am and looks like Regent Street had some 256GB phones an hour ago.
If you're dedicated and have some time to kill just keep trying, took me 3 hours of refreshing the stock site to get mine. Sure beats waiting till mid-december though.
I've given up on JL. Spoke to two advisors on the weekend who stated they were expected a delivery (thousands) of iPhone X's and I've been refreshing ever since to no avail.
Placed an order with Apple - expected 6-13 Dec
6am Apple checking is pointless as Leicester doesn't seem to be getting deliveries

Guys... I placed an order earlier today and my shipping time was '3-4 weeks' which is what my email confirmation states with the date window of 6-13 Dec
However just checked Apple Store now and they're giving a period of '2-3 weeks'. Will my order fall part of this and be brought forward too? Sorry if that sounds silly but I don't understand Apple ordering queue system

Yeah I've got the exact delivery date on my tracking order to - '28th-4th' ... fingers crossed that the online is correct
You made the right decision. I don't see the point of going into shops and asking (or going online at 6am) every day when you can just order from Apple, sit back and relax. Besides, where shops like JL, Argos etc can't actually be sure when they'll get stock, Apple will actually get the phone to you sooner than they originally say. It's win-win!

It beats getting up at 6am every morning for nothing! lol
My 265gb SG just got bumped two days from 1/12-8/12 to 29/11-6/12. Not much, but, I suspect it will come before that anyway.
Check your order because I did exactly the same and was given 6 - 13 December but just checked and found it has changed to 29th November - 6th December. Good news because trying to get one on a daily basis has proved frustrating to say the least.
You should get an email if your order is brought forward; I just did. Check your email!
It’s the new one; my original window was 5th - 12th December.
Do you know if it would be two separate loans or one larger loan (with one credit check!)?
Calling all iUP members whom have successfully reserved another phone for a forum member...do you need to input their email, name and phone number when making the reservation?? I have my X on the iUP already so looking to reserve another for someone else...cheers
placed my second order yesterday after seeing both iPhones and decided to change colour and its been bumped up from 5th - 12th December to 29th November to the 6th December so good news for you guys!
EE have pushed my delivery date back to 21st to 27th Nov, while simultaneously sending out delivery notifications for tomorrow to people who ordered the same model (silver 256) 6 days after I did.
Not best pleased.
