If I receive my iphones tomorrow, and list some on eBay would that be illegal? Because the release date is not until 9/21.
First Apple will ask eBay to delist.
Second Apple will demand to fire whoever was involved in early delivery.
Third, is you are in SF area, they will send someone to pickup. Not sure if cops in other states will entertain, but they will try.
So, even if you receive it early, keep it to yourself and reveal details on 21.
