Apple Begins Shipping iPhone 4 to Customers

[mysticbluebmw]

Yup, mine shipped from Shenzhen, China on June 19. In transit to HK. Delivery by 06/24 and to the address I changed after the order.

Dear FedEx

I undestand you are now in possession of my 32GB iPhone4. Please handle it with care and keep the likes of Ace Ventura away from it.

In order to ensure a safe journey and delivery for my iPhone4 I offer the following prayer :

This is my iPhone4. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My iPhone4 is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My iPhone4, without me, is useless. Without my iPhone4, I am useless. I must sync my iPhone4 true (wish it did it wirelessly). I must multitask better than Android who is trying to copy me. My battery must outperform it before it outperforms me. I will...

My iPhone4 and myself know that what counts in this war is not the apps we download, the noise of our music, nor the video's we make. We know that it is the Apple Fanboy membership that counts. We will be a Fanboy...

My iPhone4 is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its Facetime and its bumpers.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage.

I will keep my iPhone4 clean and charged. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My iPhone4 and myself are the defenders of Apple. We are the masters of our enemy (Android). We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is Apples and there is no enemy (Android), but peace!

Amen

Now let the activation battles begin!

So what if you're a Mac AND an iPhone user?

We know how to use the term, "you're and "an."

Just got my shipment notification from Apple today. Email says "delivered by June 23," but if you go to the FedEx tracking page it says expected delivery on June 24. It'lls get to my destination warehouse by the 23rd, from China, then sit there until delivery on the 24th. Everyone elses will do the same thing, but the timing will depend on when you got your order in I think. DEal with it and just wait, it'll be here soon!

Fed Ex

I wonder how many iPhones will go "missing" on the way to delivery? I know I've had items from Fed Ex/UPS/USPS go missing in transit suddenly and customer service of course has no clue where it went, even with tracking.

 

[hadleydb]

This is hilarious! How long did that take you?

Thank you. It just took 20 minutes. I did it at 2 in the morning. I bet if I would have took more time on it that it would have been better. I just hope my Youtube account doesn't get banned. I see a lot of them still on youtube though.

 

[LinusF]

France/UK?

Did anybody in France or UK have a status change in their orders?

 

[apendergast]

Got my ship notification at 2:15 am EST. It is shipping from LANTAU ISLAND Hong Kong. Estimated arrival is 6/24 at 4:30.

 

[rumorswtcf]

Did anybody in France or UK have a status change in their orders?

Nope, still says not yet shipped. Everyone on the macrumors UK thread is in the same situation. Hoping to see that change in the next 24-48hrs.

 

[hadleydb]

I take it the phone number on the shipping email is the phone number of the phone that was shipped right? It was supposed to have my wifes number on it and not mine. Could it be that they put my number on both phones? The one that still hasn't shipped until July 2nd was supposed to be my phone.

My wife's 32GB iPhone 4 has shipped and is in HK. My 16GB iPhone 4, which was ordered a couple hours before her's, is still showing "prepared for shipment".

 

[d00m42]

Has anyone heard anything from AT&T about preorders from them? I still have this on the order status page (this is what it said on 6/15 too):

 

[Fantasigraphic]

Congrats, now FedEx gets to hold on to it until Thursday.

Sorry but your wrong. These come out of China so CUSTOMS will probably hold them and FedEx delivers the day it arrives. It COULD be the 23rd!

Heres a tip: One the email you got click on the Pre-Sign and fill out the sheet a post on your front door.

These packages required some sort of signature and but printing out your Pre-Sign sheet that acts as a signature. Without you/someone being home to sign for package or the FedEx Authorize Release Form (Pre-Sign form) will result in another attempt next business day!

OR

Since you have the tracking number call 1-800-GO-Fedex (1-800-463-3339)
and ask to have the package held at the station and you can go and pick the package up! IF YOU DO THIS do it ASAP dont wait until the "delivery date" as itll be too late and package will be out for delivery!

 

[Cynthia Steffe]

Before you guys start jumping and screaming, "zOMG 23rd," if you check the actual tracking page, it says that it'll be delivered on the 24th (at least for me it does). This is the case, despite the fact that my e-mail from Apple stated the 23rd.

 

[zachcheatham]

Okay, mine still says "prepared for shipment" and says it should be delivered the 24th. Should I be worried that they haven't actually sent it out yet?

iPhone Bumpers Ship?

At the risk of starting more craziness ... has anyone had their iPhone Bumpers ship yet? Simply wondering... if you are going to flame me... just keep it in your pants...

That's what mine still looks like too. Has been since my order was processed. Ugh

Nada...weird that they are shipping later than the phone. I got the Apple case for my iPad weeks before the iPad launch.

Maybe they're out of those too! Haha

Last year i used att and it didn't show the tracking number until it was almost at the destination, so i wouldn't worry too much as long as you ordered at a decent time.

3 PM EST on the 15th sound acceptable?

Nope, mine still stuck saying "Ships by June 24th" and Delivers by June 25.

You can order any color bumper but only Black seems to be available in June...

Delivery says Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Hmmm....

Alright... I ordered at like 11:00 AM on the 1st (and only) day or preorders. When I tried to order at 9:00 AM "the system was down", so they said they'd call when it was back up. I didn't get a call, but on my way home from an errand, I decided to stop by again and it happened to be working for a brief 1 hour window. I placed a successful order, and of course an hour after I left, everything was broken again.

EDIT: Times are in EST.

Take a look through the rest of the thread. There have been others showing a delivery date of 6/23/10. The general consensus is that FedEx will hold them until the 24th.
