With the holidays quickly approaching, Apple has improved shipping times for the iPhone X in the United States and United Kingdom, with the device shipping next-day when ordered before 15:00pm local time.
Despite the higher price-point the iPhone X is set to be a popular gift this festive season, with analysts claiming iPhone X customer demand remains strong and reduced shipping times are a sign Apple is finally managing production times following initial launch struggles and complications.
Although Apple is fast-tracking iPhone X orders, to the horror of last-minute holiday shoppers Apple appears to of sold out of stock of AirPods in numerous countries around the world, with the company quoting early January as the next available date for deliveries.
iPhone X
The iPhone X, pronounced “iPhone Ten”, features a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED edge-to-edge display with 2436 x 1125 resolution and 458ppi, HDR support, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and True Tone. The Home Button has been removed from the iPhone X, with Apple adding a new Tap to Wake feature which works alongside Raise to Wake.
iPhone X features the new A11 Bionic chip with a special neural engine that helps power Face ID which unlocks the device by taking a 3D scan of the users face. Apple says Face ID can’t be spoofed by photographs, masks, and makeup, and changing your actual appearance with a hat or beard or makeup won’t prevent Face ID from working.
