After a long wait, news is now coming in from China that the first batch of Apple’s iPhone X has been shipped. Reports from Chinese media outlets ITHome and Xinhua state that 46,500 units of the iPhone X have shipped from Zhengzhou Xinzheng Integrated Bonded Zone in China, as per information obtained from Zhengzhou customs.
Sadly, the iPhone X units are not headed to India, or even their home market.

Chinese reports further claim that the iPhone X could be up for pre-order in some countries by October 27 and would available to customers by November 3.
The iPhone X has been facing majour production issues as reported by famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The analyst has gone as far as to say that the availability of the iPhone X will be limited till 2018, due to the complicated nature of the phone’s True-Depth camera system.
The iPhone X was earlier reported to launch in India on November 3. The flagship device has sports an edge-to-edge display, with a cutout for all the sensors at the top. The Touch ID has been removed (we hear it’s gone for good) and the phone can be charged wirelessly. The iPhone X will be priced at Rs 89,000 in India for the 64GB variant. The phone will also come in a 256GB variant, which will come with a whopping Rs 1.2 lakh price tag.
