Today makes the 17th day so how can that be the average when it just arrived lol? The earliest you could pre-order the phone was on the 9th which is when I ordered mine.
That makes no sense. Pre orders began the 9th. And ppl began receiving phones a week later. And today is the 26th. So by this way of thinking everyone should just now be getting their phones lol.
Looks like they're fixing there production issues because shipping to australia is now 2-3 weeks so you should get your phones sooner.
Ok, cool still shows November here in the States
Australia on same side of globe as China. Takes a bit longer to go the extra 12,000 miles to United States.
Happy Monday Everyone!!! I heard from some connections they are unloading Hanjin container ships in Oakland. problem is they aren't being unloaded at normal speed. They're taking their time. I'm not sure how accurate this information is though or if any Apple products are moving.
I hope its means we get our phones soon. Like the beginning of October
Iphones come by UPS Jet aircraft through Alaska AFAIK and not by a slow boat from China.
The phones they make in advance of the launch don't come by air. It's far cheaper and they're in no hurry as they aren't being sold yet. They sipped a month before the release date of 9/16. Haven't you noticed in past years that every store, Apple, Best Buy, Target, Radio Shack, Att, Verizon, etc all have phones on launch day? Well did they this year? No. Did Apple think they weren't going to sell many phones so they didn't make any? No. they had supply constraints as they even said themselves. They can't supply enough because they're stuck on a ship.
Could be totally wrong, but it's the most logical thing. It's not Apple or UPS's fault. They have both felt with much larger launchs in years past.
Too bad we won't be seeing that till November, ugh hoping for earlier but not looking likely
Same here, now my device trade in box is under my orders, it wasn't there yesterdayStill processing...
Still processing...
I need this new phone as I don't have one anymore
I have always gotten them on launch they except this year...I think what may have happened was many of the phone that would have shipped directly to us, were instead shipped to apple stores to fulfill the apple upgrade program, which would have taken the cargo shipped inventory. So instead we may see the cargo inventory be shipped out to the later date preorders. The 17 day theory is bs. I ordered launch day and was confirmed by :30 and am still processing. 17-31 oct people are already seeing movement. I think by end of week start of next week we will see movement if not sooner.
