You know I understand if you didn't get one being frustrated and disappointed, I came very close to not getting one. At 7PM central time I finally got one in my cart, about an hour later they were at the July 2nd ship date. I however was never once upset or disappointed at anyone, yes it would have been nice to just click in and go but damn people that's a lot of hits to a server.
I personally am not upset with either company. I'm glad I got it but ATT had trouble with their servers in terms of Auth checks and Apple had troubles with their on-line store. But in the end it was expected and I don't think either company could have done much to make the situation any better.

He should feel like a complete idiot. For a guy that says his company won't do anything until they can do it the best, the complete dropping of the white phone and the cluster**** pre order situation speaks to a company that doesn't know what its doing. If he's even remotely happy about pissing off that many people, he should meet the same fate as many of his sweatshop phone makers.
No, not naive at all, kid.
While I think he's probably pleased about the increase, that's not why he's still at Apple.
People at his level tend to be driven by other things and money has long since fallen by the wayside.
I notice that a lot of the replies here are assuming that Steve takes the same attitude toward Apple that many other CEOs do toward their company - as a machine that prints money. I think the record has shown, however, that Steve is incredibly involved and invested in Apple as an entity, and in what it represents to the consumer. He's also a ruthless perfectionist. I'm willing to bet that whatever happiness he might glean from the sales numbers pales in comparison to his fury at all the things Apple and their suppliers are likely doing wrong right now. I don't really think that he's the type who would approve of a crappy customer experience just as long as he still gets his stock options. Apple means a lot to him, and the perception of the company by the public is an important part of that.
He's thinking about giving Gray Powell a raise as well as leaking next year's iPhone too.
Yeah, where are all those people that insisted the leak would hurt iPhone sales?
Yea when you have more than a billion in the bank and never really spend huge amounts of it, money doesn't really matter at that point.
I'm only a kid at heart... been that way for many decades. If you don't think he's money motivated, let's see him donate all his stock and cash to charity. While I agree that he's motivated by other things, don't kid yourself that the money isn't a huge factor.

I would be curious to see though what the sales would have been though if it was never leaked.
He is probably angery because no one turned off their wi-fi for ordering iphone 4.

HAHAHAHA wow. But seriously what man in Steve's shoes would not be rocking some terminal priapism right now?

priapism can be terminal!?
fixed that.
i don't think anything was in the works on this, but forget taking any kind of legal action against Giz for hurting sales (buying stolen property is another story). it would be hard enough to quantify "lost sales" in a satisfactory way to a court, but when the demand for this new model outstrips even your own best estimates, fuggetaboutit
They may have lost sales on the iPhone 3GS, but they sure as hell gained them back with iPhone 4.
