Any luck in iconnect?

you can "buy now" for collect in store on their site but it doesn't tell you when they'll be available.

Just restoring from my backup now and first impressions are that it's gorgeous. The sides are alike a dark chrome finish. Screen is crisp and bright. Blacks are very black. It is heavy though - feels a fair bit heavier than the 7, but more balanced - my 7 always seemed to be very bottom heavy. It's very snappy too - even running iOS 11.0.1. Best iPhone so far.

Currently queuing up at iConnect. About 30 people in front but hoping I might grab one.

Good luck.

Which iConnect? I was going to go up to the Whitewater one but meh… I’ll just wait for my delivery. Hopefully the date will be bumped up from 15-22.

I received my case and qi pad this morning. Now just need the X :pac:

People with DHL experience:

Do they text in advance with possible delivery times or do they just show up? Driver has mine but no idea how long it’ll take him to get to Athy

Got one in compub Grafton Street, looked like they had about 30 or so

Supply is definitely better than originally expected then. A premium reseller in a small country would be pretty low on Apple’s priority list so them having decent stock on launch days means something.

Did they say if it was a good mix of configurations?

My brother works for a mobile network in France and a guy he knows in a store there told him they have ok numbers but they only received silver 64gb ones.

DHL text you to tell you it's due for delivery today / tomorrow but they don't give you a time.

I preordered on Friday but was one of the unlucky ones who didn’t get on until 8.10. So I chanced my arm with iConnect Henry street. Managed to grab a 64GB Silver. I wanted the black but since the front is the same and I have a case I didn’t mind too much.

They had roughly 40 altogether according to the manager. Happy to get a launch day model. Got there less than an hour before opening. The whole process was pretty slow though but just glad to finally have an X

If anyone is having issues with reachability on 11.1, you need to turn it on:

Step 1: Navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn Reachability on.

Step 2: Swipe down from the gesture bar in any open app or the bottom of iPhone X's home page.

Step 3: Perform the desired UI operation.

Step 4: To reinstate the fullscreen UI, swipe up from the gesture bar or bottom of the home screen. Alternatively, touch an area outside of the active UI pane.

Apologies if this has been asking before, i was following the 8 and now ive decided i might go for the x.
Can you buy the phone unlocked in America? Ive been on apple.com and dont see it...maybe it takes a while for the unlocked version to go on sale?! Anyone know. My sister is going in two weeks so was thinking of getting her to pick it up, looks like i could save a couple of hundred possibly.

i rang that number earlier and got a assh*** rang again and got a very helpful lady who is organising collection, DHL just delivered my wifes grrr

I’m one of few but I actually think it gives it character. Issues with 3rd party apps won’t be fun though.

Yeah as long was UI design takes it into account I think it’s a non issue, especially in portrait mode.

The question is how long will third party developers take to adapt their UI.

i can either give up the ghost and wait for apple or stroll down to compub at lunch to see what the craic is there. doubt it's worth it though

It’s here anyway finally!

64GB Silver is gorgeous!

I got through to a call centre in the Philippines when I rang that number - did you get chatting someone in Dublin?

This bears out what I said - DHL and the rest are far better performers than UPS. I'm surprised Apple cut corners by using the worst courier around. Perhaps they are better in the US and so on, but they are rubbish in Ireland.

it's subjective. I never had issues with DHL.

Contact Apple directly and report and issue you are having with DHL. Let Apple sort it. Experience with UK Mail and Apple and they sorted everything much quicker
