According to a newly released iPhone X first impressions article from Steven Levy at Wired.com, the default settings for Lock screen notifications have been adjusted for the iPhone X.
Apple recently invited a few YouTubers to spend some limited hands-on time with iPhone X at an event in New York, an interesting change in PR strategy from iPhone launches in the past.
Aside from a video showing the Face ID setup process on an iPhone X, another seemingly Apple-sanctioned clip popped up on YouTube last weekend documenting device unboxing.
It would seem that Apple gave select YouTubers permission to post early impression videos of iPhone X ahead of its scheduled launch this coming Friday, November 3.
Journalists Steven Levy, who was one of the first pre-release reviewers of the original iPhone ten years ago, has had Apple's upcoming iPhone X in his possession since last Tuesday.
Pre-orders for iPhone X are now in the record books! If you did not manage to reserve one in the first 5-10 minutes, shipping times were delayed by 3 weeks. In 15 minutes after opening, times slipped all the way to 5 or 6 weeks out, giving a December 15ish delivery date.

Last week, we got one of our first looks of an iPhone X, courtesy of Brooke Amelia Peterson, who happens to be the daughter of an Apple employee. He worked as a radio frequency engineer on the iPhone X, and while Brooke was visiting last month, he gave her an early look at the device. She filmed it, and last week, shared that video on her YouTube channel.
Electronics retailer Best Buy has enraged its customers by charging an extra $100 for Apple's iPhone X at full price, with many taking to Twitter to express their disdain with the policy.
Some people who preordered their iPhone X early are now seeing their order's status changed to “preparing for shipment/dispatch” ahead of November 3 launch.
In a move that will increases options for consumers in the United States, carriers Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile both said this morning that iPhone X will be available for preorder on their respective networks beginning November 10.
Some unfortunate customers saw unexpected delays of ten to fifteen minutes or longer when they scrambled to preorder their iPhone X as soon as preorders went live early Friday morning.
Predictably, shipping time estimates for iPhone X began slipping in a matter of first few minutes of preorders going live. New preorders for the device are scheduled to ship out in December as early customer demand remains, in Apple's own words, “off the charts”.
