Apple iPhone X pre-orders start in a few days, and this guide outlines when and where to start in your country.
It’s been a few weeks, but Apple is finally ready to launch its flagship 5.8-inch iPhone X for the first time. The iPhone X release date has been confirmed for November 3, but the company will offer an early pre-order period, giving consumers in the United States the chance to choose an iPhone X for release date delivery.
The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus pre-order period has come and gone without major issues, but we and many others expect the iPhone X launch to be a different beast.
Some iPhone X stock will be available in Apple Stores by the morning of November 3, though it’s unclear how much stock each store will have or how quickly stock will fly off the shelves.
If you want the iPhone X on November 3, you’ll want to pre-order it when it launches. Rumors continue to hint at shipping delays, and Apple magnate Ming-Chi Kuo claims iPhone X won’t be widely available at launch due to various production problems. Apple will reportedly have between two and three million devices at launch.
There’s a chance that iPhone X stock will sell out fast, so it’s important to prepare for the start of iPhone X pre-orders this week.
