Boy, that was fast. Apple started accepting preorders for its highly awaited iPhone X at 12:01 AM Pacific Time earlier today, and those who were among the first to preorder got a shipping date of November 3rd (the official launching date of the flagship device). But after just 10 minutes, the shipping dates of preordered units quickly began lengthening to two or even three weeks. By 12:30 AM, virtually all shipping dates have stretched to four or five weeks, depending on which specific model configuration and on which wireless service provider.
