iPhone X release date - Pre-orders open this FRIDAY and here's how to buy one
APPLE fans hoping to pre-order the iPhone X ahead of its release date will be able to buy one this Friday - Here's how.
Apple iPhone X pre order boost for fans ahead of release date
The Apple iPhone X release date is almost here, and fans will be able to get their hands on the futuristic smartphone in less than two weeks time.
The iPhone X is out on November 3, with prices starting at £999 and pre-orders set to open for Apple’s high-tech gadget this Friday.
Analysts are expecting a huge rush from fans to pick up an iPhone X, with one industry expert predicting it will be sold out until next year.
However, those hoping to get a leg up on the competition in the rush for iPhone X pre-orders may have been given a boost.
The device will be available to customers for pre-order on Friday, October 27 at 8:01 a.m on apple.com/uk and the Apple Store app.
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.
Stores in most countries will have iPhone X available for walk-in customers, who are encouraged to arrive early.
Apple launches brand new iPhone X features
The news comes as rumours from the supply chain point to Apple only having 2-3 million units ready for the launch on November 3.
This is in comparison to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus selling 10 million units in the first weekend of availability – a record it surpassed the following year.
The iPhone X figure came from technology analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a strong track record when it comes to supply chain rumours.
Customers looking to get their hands on the next-generation iPhone on launch day will need to act fast on October 27.
Apple iPhone X pre-orders open on Friday
It’s extremely likely the Apple Store will run out of stock within minutes of the pre-orders going live.

Those abroad should check the Apple Store at 12:01am US Pacific Time, US Central Time 2:01am, Canada (Toronto) 3:01am, Central European Time 9:01am, Australia 3:01pm, and Japan (Tokyo) 4:01pm.
