well right...but the typhoon yesterday is what caused all this backup. it should've been in AK yesterday already but there was a ground stop and closure at Taipei airport because OF the typhoon and it was like 125 mph winds...pretty sure they aren't going to risk any pilots' lives for iphones..plus, how pissed would you be if you had heard the plane carrying your iphone went down b/c UPS wanted to make customers happy so they could get their phone on launch day?
i mean, i get it. it sucks. we were all expecting phones on launch day and we woke up at the crack of dawn to order...but all this is so #firstworldproblem. the more i'm reading this thread the more i'm smh b/c there are legit lives in taiwan and china that are affected by this (my family included; they live in Taiwan) and we're all up & arms over a natural disaster that caused people to not get their phones on launch day.
