Apple encourages prospective iPhone X buyers to “arrive early” on Friday
Ahead of pre-orders on Friday, Apple has today shared that stores will have stock of the iPhone X on launch day for walk-in customers, encouraging prospective buyers to “arrive early”.
It’s long been reported that the iPhone X will be in short supply, so it’s likely that stores in the 55 launch countries and territories will have a limited number of devices available for in-store purchase. Apple says, “iPhone X will be available in more than 55 countries and territories, and in Apple Stores beginning Friday, November 3 at 8:00 a.m. local time. Stores will have iPhone X available for walk-in customers, who are encouraged to arrive early.”
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.
