Why you should be worried if you are waiting for an iPhone X
Apple lovers hoping to get their hands on one of the first iPhone X's during next month's release could find themselves out of luck.
The much-anticipated 10-year anniversary iPhone was revealed on September 12 and each handset has facial recognition, "super retina" display and wireless charging.
While many are waiting to snap one up on November 3, an analyst has said there will only be a limited number available.
A research report from the analyst stated there would only be two to three million devices available worldwide, News.com.au reported.
These handsets would also reportedly go to Europe and the United States before heading to Australia, making the national shortage worse.
Why you have been pronouncing iPhone X all wrong
iPhone users warned over scam to get Apple ID – can you tell which pop-up is fake?
In 2015, Apple sold 13 million iPhone 6S devices in just two days on its release.
Apple's anniversary phone was already reportedly facing production delays due to problems with a 3D sensor.
The iPhone X will be available in 64GB and 256GB and sell in Australia for $1579 and $1829, respectively.
The phone was one of three new iPhone models unveiled at the first event at the California campus last month.
Many struggled to understand why the device is called the "X," but Apple clarified, explaining it was pronounced "ten."
