Apple Now Offering Next-Day iPhone X Delivery in United States and United Kingdom

iPhone X shipping estimates continue to improve (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/7klcte/psa_starting_today_in_the_us_all_iphone_x_models/), with the flagship smartphone now available with free next-day delivery (https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-x) from Apple's online store if ordered by 3:00 p.m. local time today in the United States.

Apple quotes delivery by tomorrow for all iPhone X models except the silver SIM-free version with 64GB of storage, which is estimated for delivery within 2-4 days. This means every iPhone X is still a last-minute gift option.





Apple is also offering next-day delivery of all iPhone X models on its online store in the United Kingdom (https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-x), and in some other countries, shipping estimates are short enough that delivery before Christmas may still be possible.





With next-day delivery now available, it would appear that Apple has achieved supply-demand balance of the iPhone X, at least for now.





Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said improved iPhone X shipping estimates are the result of better-than-expected production (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/11/25/kgi-iphone-x-production-improved/), rather than weak demand. He originally predicted the iPhone X would likely remain in short supply until 2018 (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/15/kgi-iphone-x-supply-demand-balance-2018/).





Just hours after iPhone X pre-orders began in late October, Apple issued a statement to MacRumors indicating that customer demand was "off the charts (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/apple-says-iphone-x-demand-off-the-charts/)."





We'll have to wait until Apple releases its next quarterly earnings results to analyze just how well the iPhone X has sold, but Apple's revenue guidance of $84-$87 billion suggests the smartphone's sales will be very strong.





iPhone X shipping estimates were initially pushed back to 5-6 weeks (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/27/iphone-x-pre-order-sell-out/), but gradually shortened to just a few days (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/11/iphone-x-delivery-in-few-days/) by last week.





Apple always offers free next-day delivery of in-stock iPhone models, and it has extended the deal to all in-stock items (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/14/apple-free-next-day-delivery/) ordered from its online store by 3 p.m. local time on Friday, December 22 in the United States.





Less-expensive gift ideas for an Apple fan available by Christmas include the Apple TV 4K (https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-tv/apple-tv-4k), BeatsX (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLYF2LL/A/beatsx-earphones-white), an official Apple-branded iPhone case (https://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-accessories), Apple Watch bands (https://www.apple.com/shop/watch/bands), or simply a physical or emailed Apple Store or Apple Music gift card (https://www.apple.com/shop/gift-cards).
