Apple iPhone X is expected to be available for pre-order on October 27 and if you are part of the iPhone Upgrade Program, then you might be able to get a “head start” on the iPhone X pre-order process. Apple started notifying iPhone Upgrade Program members to get a head start on iPhone X’ upgrade starting Monday, October 23, ahead of pre-orders on Friday, October 27.
This still doesn’t guarantee launch day inventory since stock will be limited, but instead is intended to let upgraders complete the loan eligibility process through Apple before the official pre-order period kicks off.
