Good to know - however, it looks like Apple charged my card today and my status changed to preparing to ship. I guess it's on it's way now so too late to cancel and pick one up in Portland.

I believe the reservations are only for that day. If you don't pick it up that day, it goes back to the queue.

That's because today's reservations is based on yesterday's delivery and I don't think they get delivery on Sundays. So whatever they have for today is probably what they saved since Friday or Saturday. I think tomorrow's reservations should be good since it will be based on today's delivery.

I've been checking every morning since Saturday and there was reservations every morning in both colours at all the local Apple stores but only for the 64gb models. One time I did see a space grey 256gb but only for Richmond. Today at 6am I only saw a space grey 64gb available at Richmond and about 30 minutes ago there was a silver 64gb available at Coquitlam. But they go fast as in less then a minute so you have to be super quick.

Also for the people who preordered online on Oct 27 and got Nov 21-28 delivery, some of those got moved up and already shipped with arrival for Nov 10. My buddy who got his confirmation email at the same time as me (12:08am), got a shipping notice last night and is schedule to arrive Nov 10. Meanwhile my order is still processing and still stuck at Nov 21-28 delivery.

I'm not sure cause I know some people paid for it online first and pick it up in store and some pay for it in the store when they pick it up. Some stores are flexible with the time slot you pick and you can arrive early or late within reason but some stores are super anal about it and would make you wait till your schedule time slot if you're early, or make you wait till another "no show" so you can take their appointment.

After I finished typing this post, I went to check the status of my preorder and it just went from "Processing" to "Preparing to Ship" . I guess that means I can and stop checking for reservations in the morning.

Currently rocking a Caseology tempered glass with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear

On the way is a Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal satin silver and a Spigen Liquid Crystal matte black

Might grab an ultra thin case like this Totallee Scarf frosted white, but I'm a bit hesitant since I used them before and it's kinda hard to justify paying $25 for what goes for like $2 on Aliexpress, lol.

Also tempted to grab a full coverage tempered glass with the black colouring as well like this Orzly one. I think they look better than the screen only clear ones since it blends in perfectly with the front of the phone if you have a case on.

If you drop your naked phone, it will probably break. Doesn't matter if it's an iPhone, a Samsung or anything else. Take a look at the S8 (and probably S7 too) drop tests. Most shatter from similar heights. I don't know why fanbois (from both sides of the fence) like to point this out every time a new phone is released.

display seems well-reviewed

iPhone X OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out

i grabbed a kevlar case...it's no otterbox but hopefully protects moderate drops....free shipping..you can google 10% off codes...they have great service

https://www.ipitaka.com/products/mag...t=900958912540

i had the orzly on my Pixel XL...didn't fare any better than $2 ones when it comes to cracking

the only premium screen protector i would buy again is probably stilgut...it saved my Xperia Z5P when I closed a car door on it...German overengineering ....doesnt look like they have made tempered glass for the X yet though

For those wanting to grab one in store. Oakridge and PC has some in stock via App Store as of this moment. I couldn’t make the purchase cause it shows my CC declined wtf m8?

Side note. I got a tracking code. Yas.

As of right now, it shows 256gb models (both colour) available for pick up tomorrow at Oakridge and Pacific Centre. This was checked through the apple website.

64gb not available.
