Apple’s most expensive phone, the iPhone X is coming out soon, but it may be more difficult than usual for iPhone aficionados to get their hands on one when the device launches. Not because everyone is clamoring for the iPhone X, but because Apple’s manufacturer is reportedly having trouble meeting its looming deadline.

Apple confirmed this morning that iPhone X preorders will begin at 12:01 a.m. PT on Friday, Oct. 27 on apple.com and through the Apple Store app. The company tells BuzzFeed that the app is probably going to be the fastest way to place a preorder.
