I think this thing is nothing but PR stunt. Macrumors and several other news outlets have wrote about the delay of UPS? Let's blame on Apple... wait people don't believe us? well let's blame on the weather than. #SuckOnThatAppleFanBoys

But yes, FUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
 
What the absolute f***. They can't even tell us the real reason for the delay and blame it on the weather. This is getting so frustrating.

Late to this, as I haven't ordered the phone, but am an aviation enthusiast. Who said this was delayed by weather, and where is your phone currently located?

Whats up dude, fellow aviation enthusiast here.
UPS just updated our tracking info. We were guessing we'd be on UPS99 from ICN to ANC today, but it seems it was cancelled because of a mechanical issue. UPS is saying its because of weather. Its in Seoul and has been for 2 days
 
I got the same thing everyone. We can all assume we should've been on the same flight. Even though I think this is BS about the weather; I am glad they at least said something. I know it won't be here today and maybe not tomorrow now.

Sigh... I'm also in the Incheon "severe weather" crowd (what the actual F?)...

To echo someone else's question: Any chance for Saturday delivery via UPS??

Got it. I ask, because let's see if UPS is indeed telling the truth.

First up, hit up FlightAware's Live iPhone Tracker:

http://flightaware.com/live/iphone

Yes, this will be live, and actually shows flights that could contain iPhones that would leave China, Taiwan, S. Korea, and Japan for the US. As we know, we'll see the flights there. If you're really into it, you could even cross that with the ATC feeds from LiveATC.net to actually LISTEN to ATC for your flight.

But back to the weather. if UPS is saying that, you could verify that by hitting up a site like Skyvector.com. The purpose of this site is mainly to show you airports, airways that flights will use en route, and charts. In this case, if you
  1. hit up skyvector,
  2. center around S. Korea and Japan (you can even span out to get Hong Kong into the picture as well)
  3. Select Layers, then check Icing, Turbulence, and toggle between either Weather Radar or Satellite IR4
You should be able to see the weather around not only the airports involved for the UPS flights out of China/Far East, but any weather phenomena along the route those flights would take to Anchorage.

This may give you some insight into what UPS is saying, but also does call them out if they tell you some BS story.

BL.

Doubtful, they have other UPS flights landing in/around the general timeframe that UPS99 was supposed to land.

Oh yeah, I am a firm believer that this is a PR thing. There has been flights coming in and out of incheon all day long. Since UPS didnt have enough bandwidth to process the iphones, they decided just to sit on their arse while they process them slowly....wait mac rumor posted something negative about them??!! Gotta blame the weather now!
