The iPhone X will be available for pre-order next week, with owners receiving the first units a week after that. The first lucky ones will enjoy Face ID for the first time already on Friday, November 3. However, there is one catch. You'll have to be quite the crowd to be among the lucky few, as there won't be many iPhone Xs. In the last twenty-four hours, several reports have appeared on the web, which do not speak very optimistically about the availability.
Just last week we wrote that Foxconn is managing to start production at a level they can be satisfied with. However, a fortnight before the start of global sales is too late. So it is not too surprising when information appeared that on the first day of sales, i.e. November 3, Apple will have only three million units of phones physically available, with the fact that three million is rather at the upper limit of what will Apple actually have. Three million pieces worldwide.
According to behind-the-scenes information provided by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is not wrong in most cases, there have been several other issues that are delaying production. After the manufacturing defects of the components for the front TrueDepth camera were eliminated, another problem appeared. Now there is a stock of printed connections that are used in the module for the phone's antennas.
The production process of this particular component is also quite demanding and only two manufacturers in the world can provide it with sufficient quality. However, Apple had to abandon one of them due to production-related problems. There are not enough components, which delays the assembly of the phone. However, in this particular case, this should be a short-term problem that should disappear within a few weeks once a sufficient supply of parts can be produced. However, we do not expect the ideal availability of the iPhone X until the end of the year.

Does not matter. I will fight for them like butter in action.
Yesterday, I received a call from a salesman (he buys from the same supplier as Alza) that my phone will arrive in November instead of the original deadline (January). Apparently it won't be so bad with these resources :)
What merchant is this? No merchant has yet made any real statement about whether they have, they haven't, they will come, they won't come, have they? :D
it would be good for you anyway ;) it's just that his supplier confirmed it to him, at least the one for me :) Well, we'll see...
There is only one supplier in the whole of the Czech Republic, so it is quite logical that it is shared by your trader and Alza.
Besides, he probably sucked it off his finger. Every year we deal with these dates in Alza and according to their salespeople, even they do not know on the day of receipt how many pieces and from which model it will really come, they will find that out only after delivery and storage. It is quite common for a merchant to order 1000 new iPhones in various colors and subsequently run out of, say, 150 in black. After all, it is done this way with all Apple products.
claim about someone that you sucked something out of your finger, even if you don't know anything about them..
