<p>&quot;We&#39;re working hard to get this revolutionary new product into the hands of every customer who wants one, as quickly as possible,&quot; she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reuters reported the company&#39;s website as showing delivery times for the phone pushed out to five to six weeks, compared to an initial plan of Nov. 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The phone will go on sale in India on November 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The X (pronounced &quot;ten&quot;) will have a starting price here of Rs 89,000. While the 256 GB version will cost Rs 1,02,000.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Introducing the X in September, Apple CEO Tim Cook had called it &quot;the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone.&quot;</p>

<p>The X uses facial recognition to unlock, can be charged wirelessly, and has no home button.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Twitter meanwhile went into overdrive -- with one half saying, yippee, they&#39;d got hold of an X, and the&nbsp;other half rehashing the old jokes about selling an arm and a leg, and a kidney.&nbsp;</p>
