Someone fire up the obligatory "OMFGWTFBBQ my battery sucks" thread. It's coming, you all know it is. Esp with LTE, people are going to be stroking out left and right. Someones heart might explode, I wouldn't take that off the table.

Don't forget the inevitable "OMG! Yellow screen!" threads.
 
Don't worry. Someone will find a screen tint problem.



We'll see side by sides with the 4/4S. A sheet of printer paper, ect. "I've gone through 6 phones in 7 days and I'm not stopping till I get one as pure as snow minus the dog piss".

Well, it's Tuesday morning and my two iPhone's still have not shipped. Not worried yet, but sure would like to get that shipped email.

I just checked with Apple on line and I did order one of each. Thought I might have made a mistake, and my CC shows billing of $319 right now. Posted yesterday.

If I get a second charge today for about $214, I believe they have combined the shipment and the 16 gig will arrive this Friday and not October 2nd.

Did anyone get the shipped email from apple yet?

It would be hilarious if they send out the emails friday saying that your phone has shipped as it is being delivered to your door.

Kinda dont know why they haven't sent out the shipped emails yet though. Especially since they have all shipped for the first day...oh well. All that matters is that they are coming in 3 days...
 
Does anyone know why my iPhone 5's shipping origination is Nashville TN & not China?

Were they stock piled there just before launch?

First, in the future I suggest reading around the forum for a few minutes before posting a question. You'd quickly realize that you are not alone.

Apple already had many iPhones in a couple of locations in the US before we placed our orders. You are just getting one that was already here....nothing unusual.

I'm in San Diego, and UPS tracking looks similar to yours. My iPhone 5 64gb went from "Anchorage, AK" to "Louisville, KY":

Last 2 entries on UPS tracking said:
Louisville, KY, United States 09/18/2012 12:07 A.M. Arrival Scan
Anchorage, AK, United States 09/17/2012 2:28 P.M. Departure Scan

AH okay, maybe they do that because it's international, or to delay shipping. At this rate if it went directly to LA i'd probably have it on my door by Wednesday maybe early Thursday.
 
Hey guys. I just looked at my bank account. I've been charged for the phone, but my order status still says processing. Is anyone else in the same boat.
