“Apple’s website now lists iPhone X availability at its retail stores in the United States and several other countries around the world,” Joe Rossignol reports for MacRumors.
“Simply visit the iPhone X purchase page for your country from the list [see full article], select a carrier if required, choose a color, and then click on ‘Pickup: Check Availability'” below your desired storage capacity,” Rossignol reports. “A window will pop open with iPhone X availability—if any—at nearby Apple stores based on your ZIP or postal code.”
“The tool is also a good indicator of iPhone X availability for customers who are planning to walk into a store and purchase one,” Rossignol reports, “although in most cases it’s more convenient and guaranteed to reserve one for in-store pickup.”

MacDailyNews Take: A useful tool and we know multiple people for whom it’s worked.
Apple Store app for me did it. Got mine at 10 am this morning. Ordered it at 6:30. Canceled Dec 3. So awesome
For those sitting on the fence or wondering if it is worth it… IT’S TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME!!! I love everything about this phone! Even the “notch”, which to be honest has never really bothered me. I think of it like a birthmark on the body of your super hot lover. The price is worth it. You will NEVER regret your decision.
How is battery life? And is there a way to quickly check the battery percentage remaining?
Yes you swipe down the upper right notch corner where the power bars are and then you can see the battery percentage. Battery life seems on a par with my 7 Plus. Maybe better. Face ID is da bomb, a real game-changer that Samsucks won’t soon be able to match.
Sounds great, thanks for the info, going to use a case and screen protector?
I use a belt clip so I don’t use cases. I did add the Belkin screen protector. $40 from the Apple Store. They put it on with their Belkin application device. It looks great!
Silicon case protector but no screen protector. Those things haven’t worked well for me in the past and inhibit touch function.
I’ve used a tempered glass screen protector on my 6+ without a hitch for 3 years, but I’ll wait on some reviews before I get one for my X coming in December.
It seems to be way better than my 6S on iOS 11. I’m very happy.
Battery life so far has been very good, even though the phone is indexing and getting set up. The Face ID is a HUGE game changer works so perfectly even in dark or at night walking around. With or without glasses hat etc.
Phone is awesome.
Great job Apple
Great to hear the positive feedback! Anxiously awaiting Nov 15th…
Ditto on the battery life, better then my iPhone 7 after the update.
When it’s indexing the battery will drain and the phone will get warm after that it’s all good.
The face ID is freaking amazing, better then touch ID and faster.
Only issue we’re seeing is that using the hotspot if my wife sleeps her iphone 8 and turns it back on the hotspot is disconnected and gone. If I connect my ipad and sleep that it connects right back up to the hot spot.
You can check local availability in the Apple Store app as well when you get a little way to purchase
I suppose this saves the hopelessly optimistic the trouble of going to or calling the store to be told they don’t have it.
I’m quite pleased. Logged on 2 days ago, no wait for a phone and scheduled pickup. The phone is amazing and very pleased with in in every way. Worth the money and upgrade….faster, cleaner, amazing camera, AR works wonderfully…. Use the apple website and schedule the pickup, if you’re lucky enough to pick up one of the limited supply units. I suspect there are only a few available each day, but have no proof. Just check in to see if available and prepay on Apple’s site.
