Early reports have pointed to a shortage of iPhone X units at launch, but Apple issued a press release this morning assuring customers that the ultra-premium handset will, in fact, be available for walk-in customers on launch day.  Though they’re “encouraged to arrive early.” In other words, if you want one, line up.

That last bit seems to lend a bit of credence to the stories that the $1,000 and up phone will be in fairly short supply at launch. As we noted last week, the company is currently expected to have around two to three million units available for the November 3 launch date.
