Apple enabled an iPhone X availability tool on its website over the weekend, allowing customers to check stock at nearby stores, but those looking for more of a bird's-eye view may prefer to use iStockNow.com.
iStockNow has a live map of iPhone X availability at Apple's retail stores around the world, with filters that allow you to search for specific storage capacities, colors, and carrier-specific or SIM-free models.
Apple stores with the iPhone X in stock are marked with green pins, while locations that are out of stock have red pins. There is an option to hide stores that don't have any availability at the time of your search.
iStockNow is not much different than Apple's availability tool, but it may be useful to those looking for a visual look at iPhone X stock around the world, rather than only at nearby stores based on a ZIP or postal code.
On a related note, Apple has expanded its iPhone X availability tool to two more countries: Japan and Singapore.
Simply visit the iPhone X purchase page for your country from the list below, select a carrier if required, choose a color, and then click on "Pickup: Check Availability" below your desired storage capacity.
A window will pop open with iPhone X availability—if any—at nearby Apple stores based on your ZIP or postal code.
At stores where the iPhone X is available, customers can complete the checkout process and reserve the device for same day in-store pickup. We recommend bringing at least one valid government-issued photo ID with you.
Update: iPhone X availability can also be tracked on IsInStock.com.

Apple today shared an ad that shows how the upgraded Center Stage front camera on the latest iPhones improves the process of taking a group selfie.
"Watch how the new front facing camera on iPhone 17 Pro takes group selfies that automatically expand and rotate as more people come into frame," says Apple. While the ad is focused on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, the regular iPhone...

In the iOS 26.4 update that's coming this spring, Apple will introduce a new version of Siri that's going to overhaul how we interact with the personal assistant and what it's able to do.
The iOS 26.4 version of Siri won't work like ChatGPT or Claude, but it will rely on large language models (LLMs) and has been updated from the ground up.
Upgraded Architecture
The next-generation...

Apple plans to announce the iPhone 17e on Thursday, February 19, according to Macwelt, the German equivalent of Macworld.
The report, citing industry sources, is available in English on Macworld.
Apple announced the iPhone 16e on Wednesday, February 19 last year, so the iPhone 17e would be unveiled exactly one year later if this rumor is accurate. It is quite uncommon for Apple to unveil...

In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and then use it to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps.
The feature is currently available in 13 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, and it is expected to launch in at least seven more in the future.
To set up the...
New MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips could arrive as soon as Monday, March 2, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In today's "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that the release of new MacBook Pro models is tied to the release of macOS Tahoe 26.3. The launch is said to be slated for as early as the week of March 2. He added that the M4 Pro and M4 Max models on sale today...
This kind of logistical nonsense is making my inner Apple loyalist die.
Why on earth would anyone in their right mind ever stay up until midnight the night of a pre-order, struggle to get the damn thing to work, finally make a purchase at 12:06am and then get a 2-3 week delivery window... when anyone could walk into a store and just pick one up?
Aren't preorders supposed to sell out all available stock of an item before local retail receives any of them? I don't understand this siloing of quantities for specific sale. All this does is cause people like me to get burned.
Even more infuriating is that I'm a ****ing developer and I see kids holding iPhone X's on the trains I ride to work. I don't have the device I ordered but kids do. It goes to show you how much animoji and emoticon touch bars are Apple's core now. I had an equally terrible experience buying my watch series 3 edition white ceramic.
Perhaps it's time to listen to the other tribes on what they've been saying about Android and the Surface products.

You aren't asking for sympathy but you gotta know it sounds like you're mad at Apple because you made a strategic error. And no, afaik, preorders have never been designated to sell out before local retail receives stock.
Perhaps, just hear me out, it's time to exercise some impulse control... and perspective. It's just a phone. You'll survive. You're why on earth question... rhetorical right?:D

Perhaps you should. That’s where most entitled millennials go
Yet people that ordered late on launch day have a scheduled delivery window for first week of December .... anyway, I guess those people can cancel the order and pickup in store without issues (even in the upgrade program?).
Apple is following the classic playbook on how to artificially create demand. A real company would fill the preorders before shipping to the stores.
I seriously doubt it. 1. The general public wouldn't know HDR if it bit them on the butt. 2. Who can tell the difference anyway? 3. It don't matter cuz it don't matter. The phone isn't selling because it has HDR or any other single feature. It's selling because it's an iPhone. You can take that last statement positively or negatively depending on your bent.;)
You're absolutely right '69'! They might be able to see the difference between 8 and 10 bit color if they had identical photos on two displays side by side under controlled conditions, and then only if the photo subjects contained significant colors in the color gamut fringes.
