Email from Apple Early this morning stating I4 will be delivered on 23rd

[bit_bucket]

This has probably been covered, but I got this email from the Apple Store early this morning:

Dear Apple Store Customer,

You recently received a Shipment Notification email from Apple advising you that your iPhone has shipped.

This email is to confirm that your delivery will occur on June 23rd. Although Apple and FedEx tracking information may currently indicate a later date, you can check the FedEx website the morning of the June 23rd to track your package to your doorstep.

In the event that you will not be available to accept delivery on June 23rd, it may be more convenient to use our pre-sign delivery option by visiting our Order Status website at http://www.apple.com/orderstatus.

Sincerely,

The Apple Store Team

It looks as though Apple is rolling this out early, at least for those who ordered through them.

I call fake...

I call fake...

You may call fake but LOTS of people received the email and I checked the email headers and it originated from an Apple server.

I call fake...

Totally fake. If it was real, it wouldn't be on MR's front page, on AI's website, etc. Apple is really good about keeping emails to customers secret.

I got that email too.

Its Really Not Fake!! HERE

I got the same email but my FedEx tracking still says estimated delivery is on the 24th.........

But either way this email is definitely not fake......

Sorry for the duplicate of another thread. This is real. Believe what you will, however I have been on this board a lot longer than you and have never posted something that has been questioned for its validity. Here is the raw source of the email with my info obscured.

No worries, my comments were directed at the trolls, not you.

Sorry!

I miss interpreted!

I created a new account with my me.com email address last year.......

I wouldn't be admitting to that since the rules specifically prohibit multiple registrations.

I tried to delete my account but i could not figure out how to do it......... And i really wanted to get rid of that email address......

It was to childish for the adult world..........

I have gotten the email as well this morning.

I am surprised at this normally fedex would hold the shipment to release date.

If the email came from fedex or somewhere else i would not belive it but in fact came from apple so i am more prone to belive it.

The headers all look real. So do the links in the email.

Also someone said something about fedex still saying the 24th.
If you read the email it states most likely fedex will have delivery date not correct and to check fedex the morning of the 23rd for delivery.

I got this email as well. However, the tracking info through FedEx says it left Anchorage at 7:20 EST last night, and it hasn't updated since. Has this happened to anyone else?
