Pope Francis Visit to NYC and Philadelphia Could Delay iPhone 6s Deliveries on Launch Day

All it takes to disrupt's apple's product launches is to help cover up child abuse, convince the poor and stupid to give you their money, and tell people that they should spawn more crotchfruit (and say that contraceptives and abortions are eeeeeeevil) to help give your corrupt business more customers?
I guess it would be good if UPS allows for customers to pick up their deliveries at some kind of depot located outside of the affected areas.
Failing that though...**** happens.

The man has my vote! And... yes.... I am Latino.
I'm not a praticising catholic but I think this Pope is far more important to the world than the iPhone. He's dragging the Catholic Church into the 21st century and showing to be a truly progressive leader in religion.
Go Pope!
Go Pope!
Waaaaaay off topic but why would Donald Trump have your vote? Australia has just been relieved of the biggest scare campaigner and negatively minded prime minister in their history (in my opinion). Getting rid of him has removed massive tension and frustration amongst the people. Donald Trump would bring more division to the US as well as the world, even more so than George W Bush did. Donald Trump getting a single vote from anyone is a joke and a disaster.
Terrorists hyjacked several jet liners and took out the world trade centre and no one saw it coming mate. Killing the pope would be great for any terrorist group. That's why you need so much security these days, they don't care who you are or what religion you are.
Religion is dangerous, why should anyone respect a bunch of lies that are used to control masses and commit countless murders and atrocities? Even if we disregard this small problem, I can't see how it's healthy for people to live their lives in delusion. Wouldn't it be healthier if people grew up and got a grip on reality? Someone has to tell them that Santa (or was it God?) doesn't exist. The same goes for the people annoyed by the delay, I hope that one day they'll grow up and realize how any smartphone ever is completely irrelevant.

I suppose they could if the phones are delivered to the UPS hubs in Philly, NYC. (Near the airport, one in South Philly away from the main Pope events) The problem with this here is the people in the affected zip codes may have a hard time even getting there and getting home.
Local transportation is not available. If they happen to have a private driveway or access to the parking garage and take their car to the hub...leaving may not be a problem but they won't be able to return home - with their car at least.
As much as it sucks, they would be better off waiting until Monday the 28th, hell maybe Tuesday or Wednesday (29th, 30th) The darn inner zone they have in place will not be open to cars until Oct. 4th.
Just insane overblown security in my opinion.
Because I agree with what the man says. He is exactly what this country needs after the disaster of a president that we have now!
The only thing that'd make this story better is if the Catholic church decided to tow a boat of Syrian immigrants behind the popemobil.
...I'd pay to see that. I really would.

I honestly don't care if it's a selfie stick. If I paid for it, and when I did, I was promised a certain delivery date, I have every right to demand that it is delivered on that very day.
You agree that America needs to build a wall ala Berlin? Or that soldiers are failures if they get caught? That Barrack Obama is a Muslim born outside of the US?
Donald Trump has said nothing about policy but has said a lot about his own personal fantasy.
Stop getting in the way of this entitled champion. He needs a selfie stick immediately.
In went down the tubes long long ago.
Possibly too soon. I did have a laugh though.

Berlin is a wall that divided 1 country. US Border with Mexico divides 2 countries. People from 1 country consistently sneak into the other despite laws in place prohibiting such actions. Current enforcement of the law is inadequate, so yes... a wal may provide some assistance in enforcing our laws regarding crossing into our country. Also, Donald Tump has never once called Obama a muslim.

Take a world religion class or Catholicism 101.
Ok... even further proves my point. Catholics praying to saints. If Catholicism is a form of Christianity... You are not supposed to pray to saints. "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the father, except through me."
And in the pics, the one guy is kissing the Pope's hand. If that isn't worshiping someone... I don't know what is...

I wonder what the security costs are?
Given that the Pope is selling his version of religion does he pay the costs of the tour or is it US funded.
I notice that most religions are the same, they have a book of words on being good, a higher figurehead or power that they look up to. But for some reason many discard the book in there need to prove they are indeed the right one.
I have to say that I have been impressed by this Pope. He is more closely aligned to the good book than any in my living memory. He seems to genuinely be a good person and out to take his church forward in a positive manner. Much respect for that.
