?? Can't you just walk into a Apple store or any other one who sells them and get them there? Or am I missing something.

Wtf happened to the Macrumors community? Every news article thread are just filled with malicious and obnoxious "hate on everything Apple does" type of comments.

Apple offers free next day shipping. A nice little bonus for anyone considering buying an iPhone on Apples website. It's amazing how something like that, can turn into a negative discussion.

I guess this is what you can call a desperation move. When times get tough, offer free shipping!

Yeah, not a big deal, but it's nice for people who plan to order online anyways, like my friend who will be buying an iPhone 5 this week.

I find it more amazing that this is Front Page news or even worthy of an article for it.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Of the 20 replies to the article so far and 95% of them are pathetic, juvenile, and obnoxious.

Sadder than the replies is the people who post them. What a way to think and live.

Either spoiled immature school children have overrun these forums and/or some very petty, sarcastic adults. Either way sad.

Hold on long enough and there will be free iPhones folks :)

Kidding aside this may just be for leveling the field with Apple stores which are always overcrowded. May be they want more people to buy online.

Any intelligent conservation about Apple rumors have denigrated into a sludge-fest. Kinda sad really

You'll probably find most of these people were once Apple devotees; but like myself, have become so disillusioned with Apple they've not only started to go elsewhere, but also backlash against the company just as they once did against Microsoft. What goes around comes around, but apple have only themselves to blame.

Actually, I see this as a good sign. If sales were lagging significantly, they would need to do something more drastic like slash prices. Note the Kindle Fire HD. The entitlement being shown on this forum has gotten out of hand. Free overnight shipping is a bad thing? No one at Apple ever proclaimed this as the most amazing deal ever, so why the sarcasm? May I suggest less sugar in your diet?

What is it that Apple is supposed to turn around? Have they had a bad earnings report?

Free shipping on the world's most outdated and ugly smartphone. Pass.
Outdated and ugly? I get that the minimalist style might not suit everyone, but "ugly"? How about a little perspective?

This site is filled with anti-Apple haters and paid shills from Apple's competitors. The responses to this article pretty much gives it away. It's a shame the Mac Rumors staff allows their site to be taken over by these trolls.

This entire site has been in a crap mood for way too long. It's painful to read these threads anymore.

What does everyone hate about "free"?

Jeez people. Look at their product lineup. It's the nicest, most well-made and well-known of any company out there.

We get this way when it's been a while since anything new has been released. :D

I would guess more like Apple bandwagoneers, just waiting to turn on them at any sign of "bad" news. Devotees stick around during the lean/hard times (like the 90s for Apple).
