iPhone X Release Date Tips & Tricks

Go Hands-on at a Retailer or Carrier Store

If you want to go hands-on with the iPhone X before you buy it, you'll be able to do that on Friday. That said, we highly recommend going hands-on at a retailer or a carrier store as opposed to Apple.

Apple Stores are going to be slammed on November 3rd, November 4th, and November 5th. They'll probably be crowded for weeks after that as well, particularly with the holidays coming up. 

Your local Apple Store is certainly an option if you want to check out the iPhone X before you buy, but it's probably not the best place.

Retailers and carrier stores might be busy, but they're usually less trafficked and that means you won't have to wait long to get extended hands-on time with the iPhone X. You might also get more attentive customer service.
