I don't plan on getting a carrier until January when I go away for collage, but I want to already get the new iPhone X on preorder.
Is this possible according to past iPhone pre order Release years in the past?
It's not negative; just realistic based on every other iPhone release over 10 years. The date to preorder is October 27. If you monitor the Apple website and click the pre-order link as soon as preorder opens (probably 00:00:01 PDT on October 27) you might be able to get it this year, but thousands of others will be doing the same thing. If you are 5 minutes late you will probably miss the window. And only the first few hundred will get it on November 3.

Then there are reports from analysts in touch with component suppliers indicating that production yields of the FaceID front camera were very low and are just picking up. So stockpiles are very scarce, compared to other iPhone launches. Statistically speaking, January seems to be the surest bet.
No one here would know that since the details have not been made available yet.
If you preorder you probably won't get it before January, so the question is moot. And you do know that you can't activate an iPhone without a SIM card from a carrier, right? So even if you get it sooner you won't be able to use it.
Yes, Verizon iPhones are all unlocked.
The techspecs indicate it has a Nano Sim. And I don't recall any mention of not having a sim card during the Keynote.
The Apple Watch is the one that was mentioned as having no actual sim card though
iPhone X - Technical Specifications - Apple
SIM Card
Nano-SIM
With that said, the Verizon option should be unlocked, but will still require a sim card to activate. T-Mobile iPhones have been historically unlocked as well at launch, but will also require a sim to activate.
That’s awfully negative, “you probably won’t get it before January”, you don’t know that. The first shipments are arriving Nov 3rd. I wouldn’t say to anyone buying you won’t likely get it till 2months later, let’s just wait and see how it goes, some are going to get it much sooner than 2018, other yes will get it later...
yes but according to the past pre orders was this possible ?
if I get it from Verizon will I be able to use it on any other carrier later on if I want to switch ?
There is no physical SIM card in the X, so this might not be an option.
Can I Pre-Order the iPhone X without the carrier this October online?
