Had everything set up with service & trade in the day before pre-sale and had the phone pre-selected and in the bag: 15 Pro Max in Natural Titanium, 512gb. Got in first thing Friday morning when they opened late. Smooth and easy, no issues. Showing delivery date of Sept 22.

1) The "Notch": I don't notice it. Until they bring it up. Over and over again, and usually from people that don't own an X. 2) There's no Home Button: True. There isn't. In about 8 seconds, I learned the gestures that don't require me to press a button. 3) Face ID isn't secure or fast...

I like the Face ID. One less thing to press. Recognition is fast and the phone is unlocked when I pick it up before I'm ready to use it.

And if one of these companies delayed a product launch waiting to "fix" the software, these same people would skewer them for the delay.

There will always be a new phone next year, no matter when you buy. So you could either wait for next year's model forever, or buy one now, use it, and enjoy it.

Received notice this morning that my Nov 17-24 scheduled X (SG/256/ATT) had shipped today from China. My UPS account calendar has it scheduled for delivery on the 16th - one whole day early. It was on the delivery calendar before I got the notification from Apple.

Had my status changed to "Preparing To Ship" but still shows Nov 17-24 delivery date range

Same. Order in at 3:20 am. Delivery listed as 17th-24th. Hasn't changed.

I ordered on line at 3:20 am. gray/256. Delivery date was 11/17-11/24 and has not changed. I have contacted Apple by phone and chat, and they continue to insist that all orders are filled on a first-come-first-served basis. I respectfully disagreed since there are stories of people here who...

Ditto. Frustrating to see no change, especially as others have had their dates moved up, seen others who have cancelled their pre-orders and bought in stores, and seeing available inventory sent to stores instead of filling previous pre-orders.

Same: Still in progress with delivery date of Nov 17-24. Set alarm and got order in at 3:20 am. Seeing people whose orders are being moved up. I've asked Apple support and service why the orders don't appear to be processed on a true first-come-first-served basis, and they are no help. To...

It's disappointing that they didn't use that inventory to fill pre-orders. I understand that Apple wants people in their stores, but there are people that stayed awake or set their alarms to order early.

For the most part, all reviews contain some bias in one way or another.

I think people should look beyond the headline and read the entire article to get a true comparison and context. It will be interesting to get true user experiences from those that have lived with TouchID and now are using FaceID in the everyday real world.

It is a bit frustrating to see people who got their orders for the same phone in 5 or more hours after me get their dates moved up.
