isn't this a bit of a security risk posting this with pics and times?

Because there's no security during the different stages and they'd be de-activated straight away - wouldn't be very intelligent to steal directly from Apple.
 
Why do I feel like this guy is going to get fired? Next thing we know he'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog s--- out of Hong Kong.
 
Mine isn't on there, it hasn't shipped yet :'(

EDIT: I'm not sure why people think this is stupid. It's interesting to see our beloved devices on their way to our homes.

I think we may be a little envious because we're not getting one. If someone is anticipating a new iPhone the info is probably fun.

I track coffee orders when my supply is running low :)
 
This is cool. I never really gave it much thought about how all these phones get here. With all the millions selling, this guy and others like him have a lot more trips to do.
 
Apple should setup Find My iPhone for folks with existing accounts who purchased iPhones, and then we can track it much more easily haha. But I guess that needs GPS / Internet, plus the battery would not last or overheat in those boxes.

This is a little too much though.
 
This is an Apple Rumor/Fan-Site . They can post whatever they want ...

If you don't like the posts, don't click and don't read .

This isn't news, and it isn't a rumor. We know the iPhone 6 is shipping. We know it's coming. A picture of cargo that could be, for all we know, twenty-five tons of fish, really isn't very exciting.

As someone who's frequented Mac rumor sites for over 12 years, this is probably the worst I've ever seen.

What interest do you honestly get out of this?

You act like the guy uncovered them and was showing a box of the iPhone 6. He did no wrong.
 
So at what point do they put my account information onto the iPhone? It amazes me whenever I get my new iPhone that it's preloaded with my info.

I dunno. If by "giving it a little extra gas" he broke some sort of rule (gas consumption, speed limits, unexpected acceleration without warning air traffic controllers etc.), he actually could get in trouble. I'm only speculating.

The fact that you are an old time reader does not entitle you to a chair on the editorial board - or whatever MR has.
The writers write what they want.
The publishers publish what they want.
The readers read what they want.

Don't cross the lines.

>_> You mean the info from the cloud that's attached to your phone number and email addresses you reuse? lol.
