I agree. I'm pretty sure that when it ships we'll see progress from Foxconn in Shenzhen, via Germany or Holland, I can't remember exactly which.
I tracked from China, because I remember getting the Koeln update with regards to customs and paperwork in TNT.
My last two phones from launch have always shipped direct from the UK, I never saw any movement from China.
You must have got 2 iPhone 4S's then (as I don't know what they did)....cos my last phone was the iPhone 4 on launch day June 2010 and that defo came from asia
I bought an iPhone 4S and an iPhone 4. It's a shame I don't have the tracking details.
I'm on orange and my phone switches from orange to orange-tmobile depending on which is stronger. Orange-tmobile seems to be a better connection around here as I get 7 Mbps download speed on it.
Being on orange or tmobile is the only way to upgrade to EE unless you wait til EE officially launches.
Yes we do. EE have said on their twitter that you'll have to change to a new EE price plan, which will be at a different cost. So unless you're on one of the top end plans at the moment, there's sure to be some cost. Also you'll be starting a new contract, so if they launch next month, it's another 2 years on top of whatever you have already done.
Nope 4 in 2010 and 4S in 2011, both came direct from the UK. 4 was delivered by TNT and 4S was delivered by UK Mail.
My first iPhone was with O2, I grew accustomed to the "O2-UK" logo in the corner.
Then I went with Three, and was a bit disappointed with just "3", so I looked at vodafone, and that was horrendous: "vodafon...". Maybe Orange would be better? I remember T-Mobile being "T-Mobile" which is fine.

T-Mobile and Orange will be changing to it just saying EE on the phone in a few weeks time. Even if you are sticking with 3G and not switching to EE.
At the moment if you roam onto Orange from T-Mobile it says T-Mobile orange which gets cut off.
I hate things which cut off.
EE will just annoy me, but I don't plan to go with them anyway.
Yea mine was delivered by TNT but it originally tracked from Asia.....I remember Kazakhstan being one of the places it stopped!
Ok. I just looked back at the threads for the 4 and the 4S, and you're correct. Weird, I could have sworn that we tracked them from Shenzhen.
The last time I received something from China it was my MBP in March 2011. The route was something like Shanghai -> Incheon -> Almaty -> Warsaw -> Koeln -> East Midlands Airport -> Tamworth -> delivered.
A free 6 months upgrade or a "contract buyout and termination which allows you to get the new iphone"?
I really wish I had my tracking information from back then on me, my MBP came from China, but I'm pretty sure my 4 and 4S did as well :/ I don't recall anything (bar my iPad) being in the UK.
can anyone find the old tracking destinations from the old UK iphone 4 thread?

I do remember there being two batches with the iPhone 4, because there were lots of people worrying that theirs hadn't shipped yet and then they shipped from the UK on the Weds/Thurs before the Friday.
