And it's gone: iPhone X pre-orders now ship in December
If you're looking to pre-order an iPhone X, be aware that in the U.S., you'll need to wait until December to actually get the phone.
Right now, the shipping date for all variants of the device -- 64GB or 256GB, Silver or Space Gray -- is five to six weeks.
Given the numerous rumors that Apple doesn't have nearly enough iPhone X units to satisfy demand, this actually isn't that bad, though with the U.S. just waking up, those shipping times might get extended further.
The pre-orders for the iPhone X on Apple's website opened at around 3 a.m. ET on Friday, and initially the shipping times were 2-3 weeks, but this quickly changed into 4-5 weeks, and then to 5-6 weeks.
In Apple's UK online store, the shipping time was 5-6 weeks for all variants of the phone right after pre-orders went live, and it hasn't changed since.
If you don't want to wait until December, you can still try and get an iPhone X in one of Apple's retail store on Nov. 3. That, however, will likely include waiting in a long, long line.
