Ok, no photoshop, I believe you. But.... maybe a paper printout slid over another phone under a case?
Nice try, I’m sure some people actually believe it.
Got a tip for us?

Weird. My Watch has already passed through Alaska (departing Anchorage around 1am), and is on its way to warmer climates now. But packages that actually stay in Alaska take longer?
It’s funny how your warehouse shadow matches Apples promotional photos. What a coincidence!
I've read that the order number works, but haven't tried (I recall something about starting with the "W" and dropping the last two digits - yep, just tried minus the last two digits, on the website, and that works). I signed up for UPS My Choice a while back (free), so when I heard that stuff was shipping, I just opened the UPS app and there it was.
(Once you're registered with UPS, they'll alert you to any inbound package to your name/address - you don't need to enter tracking numbers. Pretty useful. FedEx has something similar. Actually, so does USPS - "Informed Delivery".)

The system will give you an estimated delivery date before confirming. All UPS Stores I've ever tried add a business day.
Cargo plane full of iDevices on pallets stops in Alaska for refueling / customs. Then it flies on to somewhere in the lower-48 where those pallets are broken down for individual shipment.
So yes.

That's what my shipment is stating.
If you won't be around, redirect to a UPS store. It should let you, though if Apple makes some special stipulation who knows.
I’ve had the numbers punched into the MyChoice on UPS since preordering, it showed up automatically a few days later but still seeing the “details not available” when I click to track. Ordered through Verizon on launch day.
Every year I say I ain't going to do it....every year I come here to watch the posts of people posting their tracking and following the UPS flights.....and I follow it too. Like watching the Santa tracker!
Spent around 15 Minutes trying to sign up for UPS My Choice. It's going from one screen to the next, every time requiring more personal data and new hoops to proceed to the next screen. Didn't look secure to me, or worth the effort. I'm in Europe.
Weird. Not how it works here in the US. Name, address, email, phone # if you want to provide it.
- The new iphones (as well as the previous gen) has two bezel antennae gaps in the top left corner near the camera.
The iphone in your photo has only one.
- Also the phone in your pic has a black border on the back, the new iphone has no border black on back (nor did the previous gen), it's just green.
- You also need to change to the color for metal frame from silver to green... the green phone has green backplate as well a green metal frame, not silver.

Haha...it was pretty well done, until you see where they tried to blend it. Well done though, good laugh!
I ordered mine within one minute of the store opening online. No emails from UPS my choice as of now.
Get the UPS app, or FedEx app (whichever applies) and create an account with the address Apple is shipping to. Then, you can have it delivered to a pick up location for either one. I do this since I will be at work and unable to sign. Then I can run out and pick it up.
I also get it a lot sooner. Either company usually delivers to a pick up location by 11 am.
I always have packages requiring a signature dropped at a pick up location. There is a UPS store near my work. Plus, it comes much earlier in the day than it would at my home. I've never had a shipment delayed.
