The iPhone X pre-order shipping availability slips to December

While you were sleeping, Apple opened the spigots on the iPhone X preorders for fans around the world, and the shipping date started slipping in the first two minutes or so. In-store pickup availability held out a bit longer, but now no matter where you look, from Florence, Italy to Georgetown in Washington D.C., the iPhone X is "not available".

To add insult to injury, while the initial shipping times where "1-2 weeks," these are now "5-6 weeks," extending the actual availability of the iPhone X for those who didn't get through all the way to December, though we are fairly certain that you will be able to find the phone on eBay or Craigslist next weekend, starting at $1500 or so. Oh, well, it looks like the initial batch of 2-4 million units that Tim Cook baked has been already gobbled up.

Apple’s 2024 flagship is still nothing to snark at. It has all the same software features, about the same cameras, save for super-pro modes like ProRes RAW Log 2 recording. If that didn’t mean anything to you, you’ll feel perfectly fine with an iPhone 16 Pro in your hands. And you save about $200 on what is essentially an excellent device that’s still hard to beat. Item prices vary by condition, color, and availability.
