If you're just waking up, you're too late: iPhone X preorders sold out within minutes overnight.
Apple Add Interest
Today marked the kick-off for iPhone X preorders, Apple’s much anticipated 10th-anniversary edition of its iPhone.
Preorders opened at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time and 3:01 a.m. ET for those Apple devotees who wanted to be some of the first to get their hands on the phone that Apple's CEO Tim Cook called the “biggest leap forward since the original iPhone” at its Sept. 12 launch event.
While the iPhone X was gone online in minutes, the phone will be available in stores next Friday, Nov. 3.
Here’s what you need to know about the iPhone X:
Apple has confirmed that stores will have the new phone in stock on Nov. 3 and the company is encouraging customers to arrive early.
"Stores will have iPhone X available for walk-in customers," Apple wrote. Stores open at 8 a.m. Quantities of the phone available are unconfirmed.

I guess I’ll never understand peoples’ need to be first on getting a new product.
Let them work out all of the inevitable glitches first.
Scam by Apple.
Release super small numbers to create the illusion of demand.
Create hype for sheeple to spend $1,000 for a phone with features that others have had on the market for years now (wireless charging.)
Apple is a leftist company. They need to pay taxes on their $50 billion in cash.

Lefties sure like other people and mean ol business, paying taxes though.
Not when its their business and their personal earnings.
I love the SJWs breaking out their iPhones and Mac products.
Is there any greater example of capitalism? Overpriced goods manufactured by Chinese workers jumping out of buildings to kill themselves because of the poor working conditions.
Yet Lefties love Apple. Go figure.
Rush even predicted this b.s. shortage before it happened — while he was hawking their products, of course.
Wonder if Apple shareholders know they pay Rush as a spokesman?
Apple has been accused of that every time a new iPhone comes out. It never proves to be true. Why should it be true this time, TigerClaws?
I got on line at 12:01PM last night with AT&T to get my NEXT upgrade from my iPhone 7 plus, using my daughter's iPhone 6. . . she'll get my iPhone 7 plus. AT&T's website was JAMMED. It took me until 2:15 to get my order done. That is not a phony demand.
Considering a repair other than a cracked screen is half the price if the phone insurance is mandatory.
Now I suppose they could have been lying to me, but I don't seem much reason as I can just cancel the order and get a Samsung if they suddenly say it won't ship for 10 weeks.

Consumer Reports couldn’t give the Macbook a recommend because of the battery life.
Announcing the 8 and X was a big mistake. There were no lines for the 8. People are waiting for the X and the X is overpriced.
I think Apple under Tim Cook (queer, btw) has lost its way.
This iPhone is a must have. It’s a whole entire 1mm thinner, has facial recognition “upgrade” to permanently put you into the government system of intrusion, and weighs a whopping half a gram less than the last one. Wow. My mind is blown./S
The only “innovation” I care about from Apple is bringing the million jobs they have offshored to FoxCon in China, back to America. Then I’ll be impressed. Build them ALL in America
“Wonder if Apple shareholders know they pay Rush as a spokesman?”
Rush has always been a HUGE Apple Tech guy. In the past Apple has avoided using him as a sponsor declaring him “to controversial” Are you sure he is a paid spokesman at this point?
What kind of phone are you using that isn’t created by a leftist company using communist labor? Google is as bad or worse than apple, and even Korean companies like Samsung are manufacturing their phones in China and Vietnam.
Typical Anti-Apple boilerplate falsehoods. First - what scam? Second - super-small numbers? Apple has done nothing different than previous releases - and each results in literally MILLIONS of units sold - as their manufacturing suppliers have been at full-tilt production. Don’t forget - the actual available/shipping date is still a week away.
Hype for a $1000 phone - just wait until the next Samsung... to keep up, their price will be in the same ballpark. And “features” that others have had for years... like the IR-based facial recognition? Or the VR engine that throws all other makers under the bus? Seriously?
And the best you posted: Apple is a leftist company... Have you actually checked Microsoft’s contributions and groups it supports? OR Bill Gates and his foundation? OR pretty much every other tech company - particularly hardware makers. But your blindness is as willfully ignorant as the Leftists this page was set up to fight against. Its a shame you are acting just like them.
“They need to pay taxes on their $50 billion in cash.”
My understanding is that it is legal and in a non-us company.
Scalpers?..................
Apple is the largest non-petroleum tax payer on the planet. They paid $13B in US taxes last year alone. And you proclaim "Apple needs to pay their taxes!" Got it.
