[bimmer456]

FYI I brought my iphone X with delivery 11/3 and already made my money back multiple times with apple shares being up this morning!

by 3:13am i had pre-ordered a iphone x in silver with 256GB for Nov 3 shipping date. received an initial order submitted email, followed by an official order confirmation.

was surprised at how easy it was this time around. hopefully no delays.

excited to finally have the phone on launch day. this hasn't been the situation since the iphone 2g

What do you mean "upgrade". Was this a Verizon subsidy or apple upgrade plan?

I bought in 2008 I think. Dividends have paid for my iphones.

Should have went with B/B from the beginning. They didn't ask any carrier info if paying full price.

best buy is $100 more than buying from Apple or a cellular carrier.

be sure to call Best Buy and ask them to price match.

They price match all the time. Doesn't hurt to try, I've saved hundreds on their camera equipment.

I've ordered camera lenses online for store pickup. Once I go to pick it up, I ask for the price match.
I'm guessing for home delivery, just call them and have them credit your card.

Same thing happened to me. With everyone else saying 4-5 weeks i really hope that our ships out on the 3rd...

The shipping estimates are conservative. You will likely get it in 2-3 weeks which is only about a week or so after the 3rd.

I have a phone coming Nov 3rd. With the demand of these things so high and not available until later, people are willing to pay $2k+ for a 1st week phone...

I may flip it.

That may be optimistic, most people will be willing to wait a couple weeks, not really worth a grand just to get it one week earlier. There may not be much to be made after shipping cost, and other sellers flooding the market in the first two weeks, after which no one will pay more. Also, there's the camp that will camp out on November 3rd. Easier and quicker turnaround to buy and hold apple stock, and you get to keep your phone rather than selling it and waiting who knows how long, maybe next year to get another one.

judging how the preorders went, yeah, there wont be much money to be made. i bought two, one to flip, but as of this point, i think i'll just give the second one to my wife and we'll just sell our old ones on swappa or something and be done with it.

I've never tried swappa but I've done gazelle. You could also sell them back to the carrier and get a credit on your account. I did that and had free cell service for 4 months.

Only thing I could say would be that they ship it to you pre-loaded with a SIM, so once you active that phone your old SIM deactivates.

If they didn't, and your prior phone didn't have a nano-SIM, you wouldn't be able to use your new phone until you got to a Carrier store and got a new SIM from them.

That's about the only reason I can see.

I got one for 11/3 delivery.

Mine failed the AT&T check but they gave me a reservation and told me to complete it within 24 hours. I went to bed, and completed my purchase about 9am this morning, for 11/3 delivery.
