UPS Manager: "They just vanished!"
*Suspenseful Movie Intro Music*
Title: " iPhone Air "
Here is my thought, they'll deliver the preorders will be delivered on the 18th.
Here is my reasoning for thinking this:
The current iPhone users who are updating their phones will be doing it tomorrow on the 17th.
The people who preordered will be activating their phones on the 18th.
Then everyone else will be activating theirs on Friday who buy in store.
It spreads it out over three days, instead of just one day like last years fiasco. Just a thought.
At least I'm hoping to get mine on Thursday.

Great logic... give us hope!
*shrug* mine still says it's being prepared, but whatever. It's only off by a few days. I'm just thankful I don't need to wait in a line.
Can I just ask if anyone is actually surprised?
As much as we'd all love an early iPhone 3G S... come on. Apple's on their A-game. No early shipments folks!

This link directs you to apple's website for a different country.. We will still get 3.0 today...

I really hope mine comes tomorrow. Have some ram coming in tomorrow too, so maybe it'll be a good day. Off to bed now. Don't want to sleep through the delivery.

Several readers are reporting that their potentially early iPhone 3G S shipments are being intentionally delayed by Apple until the official launch date of June 19th.
Erm, it's says "receiver" delayed.

The "receiver" is AT&T in the US.
They did something similar last year.
That's Sad!
Damn 2 year contact that you signed I'd just waite another 6 months then you can get 4.0 or what ever.

Like this should be a surprise?
Well it was fun while it lasted. It was very entertaining watching people actually think they were getting their product before the release date! At least they now have something to whine about on the boards for the next two days, so they won't be bored.
Maybe if we start a Twitter petition, Apple will change their mind!!!
