Is there any movement at weekends for the x ? I seem to recall there isn’t normally any movement till the Monday, we’ll there wasn’t for the watches a couple of years ago
 
SG 256gb with a delivery date of 29th Nov to 6th Dec.

Spoke with Apple via their Chat yesterday, and they said: "As the earliest date that appears on your Order Status Page is the 29th of November, the earliest that we would attempt to take payment is on the 26th"
 
So much for those rumours of no stock until next year! Having to wait 1-2 weeks when ordering at the end of November is way beyond what most were expecting.

Production must be running at max output or they’ve overestimated sales

Or it was :cough: :cough: BS :cough: :cough:

Build some hype, make out there's a shortage, to help get a product away at a price point you're not sure the market will bear :D

Hmm. Got an 8 Plus on launch day thinking X was going to be Jan availability but deliveries are getting better everyday. Whilst I’m not a huge fan of the smaller form, I am tempted...

Anyone gone from 8 Plus to X and loving / not loving it?

Yep and loving the smaller form factor. So much easier to use and type on...
 
I managed to reverse an iPhone X for in-Store pick-up today!! Logged in at 6am and got a delivery window. Not bad considering that I only made my mind up yesterday.

Only a couple of stores had them (London) and they were gone in less than 10 minutes.

Same here, ordered on 4th November. Very annoying as there was stock everywhere today (due to it being Black Friday, I guess). I doubt there will be any movement until next week now. Apple will be too busy swimming in all their cash.
Carileph are you still order being processed? I too ordered 4th Nov. Really want to get it this week, getting annoyed seeekng them available in stores now.
 
Gee my window starts tomorrow and still no movement so I guess I won’t be the first in the queue. Anyone else with movement for the 28th - 5th ? Ordered Silver 256gb 2nd November

Same window here! You’ll be before me though as my order wasn’t until 4th Nov. I’m hopeful it will be this week especially as the wait is now only 1-2 weeks. COME ON

nothing changed for me. I don't know what to think, tomorrow is 28th and I have 28th-5th window. When will they ship??

Yup, still being processed. Still in 28th-5th window.

Has anyone out there in this window seen any update at all? I don't think Apple do any processing on the weekend, so if additional stock arrived in the UK over the weekend, it will probably start to be allocated today, with updates happening tomorrow. All conjecture, of course!
 
Crikey apple have a 2 week window now!

Good going, I believe the production has been increased 10 x
Hopefully i'll get mine on time next week then :D

Guys just assure me, apple care is better than the JL 2 yr warranty right?
 
They are different things. AppleCare covers for accidental damage, John Lewis is a warranty only.

With the exorbitant cost of repairs for the iPhone X I'd recommend AppleCare every time.

Though you aren’t comparing like for like there. JL also has a accidental cover insurance (which is cheaper than AppleCare+, and doesn’t have an excess on repairs).

I was comparing what zuzox was asking us to compare, i.e. AppleCare and JL Warranty.

I'm well aware that John Lewis has its own accidental damage cover.
 
Finally updated to preparing for dispatch. Ordered 4th November, SG. Dunno if that means it will be dispatched today, but fingers and toes are crossed. Wife has had hers since Friday, so my jealousy levels are off the charts at the moment.

Same window, 256GB Silver, changed today to preparing for dispatch.
