It will be delivered on the 24th no matter what else you see.

Apple does huge business with the carriers and they will hold all deliveries until the 24th.

EXACTLY. When UPS showed up on Saturday to deliver the iPad. The driver said he was delivering these all day (it was late afternoon). He also said that this was a very important delivery for UPS and that they couldn't screw it up. Whoever the carrier is they WILL hold it until the 24th. What they do is stop updating the status on it once it gets to your towns depot. You won't see another update until it goes out for delivery.
 
Apple doesn't say anything unless they want to.

Who is Kumar? Is this a person that Apple has ever acknowledged before? Or are you mindlessly blathering? Show the world some evidence why you might be right. Otherwise, stop wasting our time.

Well for one thing Bloomberg ran the article. So they figure its news or it could be just speculation. Right or not, it's possible that it could affect the stock price tomorrow. In the article they said that they contacted both Apple and LG after hours and haven't gotten a response yet. So if Steve Dowling does return the call, he can clarify if the report is correct or not. If not MAYBE he could explain WHY the delay and no white iPhone.

Happy now?

As I said it COULD be the reason not it WAS the reason. So lighten up or have another drink. :p

Kumar is an analyst. When I worked at a startup in the mid-1990's, he frequently issued reports about us that were dead wrong. Just not even close. I don't remember what he even said anymore, but it was always dead wrong.


In other news, I ordered 2 iPhones 2 minutes apart on the 14th from apple. The second order shipped Saturday. The first just shipped a few minutes ago. Weirdly the one that just shipped is supposedly due to be received on the morning of the 23rd, but the one that shipped first is due on the afternoon of the 24th. Just strange.

Yep, that is true. Sometimes Apple would respond to shut his mouth, and hopefully this would be one of those times. With everything that has happened this week with no white iPhones, people not being able to place orders, and orders being cancelled, you can bet that Apple will have some sort of response to all of this.
 
When they were first announced I was hoping to get a white one but looks like I will be settling for a black one right now. Oh well, still excited for pick mine up on Thursday!

Apple typically does not respond to analysts.

It doesn't matter if it's Wu, Munster, Huberty, Gartner, Enderle, Kumar, whoever.

This Kumar person is irrelevant. One analyst's opinion is meaningless.

You still will get both on the 24th. Not the 23rd.
 
I know. Doesn't change the fact that it's strange.

It could be because they are shipping the 2nd order faster than the first to get to your local depot before the 24th. Even though you made the orders within minutes of each other, the two phones could be coming from different lots and different factories. Remember, they sold 600 frickin thousand of those in ONE DAY. Did they already make that many? Who knows. Maybe, but by the look of all of these cancelled orders maybe not or maybe they sold more than 600k.

Glad you are getting two. Please let us know how facetime works when you get it. Please lie so that my girlfriend won't want one. :)
 
So much drama over a phone. I mean, I know it costs a fair amount of money. Still thought, it's just a phone. :rolleyes:
 
Yes, 100% positive. If you used a Debit Type credit card on the ATT site, your order will be cancelled. It has nothing to do with the "agreement" they are suppose to send you. There are a lot of ATT (and Apple) people who don't know what is going on.

ATT screwed up on this one, they should have said to use a "regular" card on their website during the pre-order process, like they did in their stores for pre-orders.

Wrong.. I used a Debit check card that has a Visa logo that I can be used as a credit card.. My preorder from AT&T has been SHIPPED with tracking #... So you are 100% wrong..

Here is the story:

If you used a debt Visa/Mastercard on the ATT site (or maybe others) instead of a "regular" credit card, your order has/will be cancelled.

ATT required standard credit cards if you pre-ordered in the store, but made absolutely no reference to this requirement on their website.

I think this sucks and needs to be brought up to:

Randall Stephenson, AT&T CEO
rs2982@att.com (direct)
randall.stephenson@att.com
phone: 210-351-5401 (direct to his secretary)

I was able to use my Debt Visa check Card online.. Debt check card with a Visa or Mastercard is as good as a regular credit card if not better.. Credit card stops at a limit but debt check card visa/master has fee when you overdrawn your bank account, But the store or the place you use it still get their money no matter what.

As a general rule, you should never use a debit check card for online purchases. These cards are convenient however if they should ever become compromised, you will be sitting there with an empty checking account and a big problem on your hands. Apple is reputable, just noting to be careful when doing this. :D
 
I will wait until later this fall/winter/Christmas to upgrade my iPhone. I do like the 4G iphone but I don't want to go through the hassles to be an early adopter. I would also like to make it a full 2 years on my phone before getting a new one.

Not true.. My bank got my money back because I was charge without my knowledge or agree too.. It happen to me 3 times when I was using dial-up internet (late 90's ,never again) and every time I got my money back.. Also I check my accounts online daily to keep on top of things.. I only order online from places I trust other wise I will use Pay-Pal in-stand.

P.S. I never used my debit or Credit card back then.. The places that charged me got it from my dial-up internet provider account without my knowledge.. I dropped dial-up right after the 3 time it happen and went with cable when they had high speed internet where I lived..

It's far easier to get charges dropped if you use a credit card. Especially if you're not as vigilant at checking your account. Federal laws for Debit cards (as convenient as they are) have far more strict rules nowadays when it comes to identity theft. Most banks give you 48 hours to discover the theft where they will give you all your money back (but they can hold you responsible for up to $50). Past 48 hours and your bank can make you liable to $500, and if it goes 60 days from your statement mailing date, you may not be able to recover anything. It's completely up to the bank's discretion whether or not they're going to force you to pay. It's highly dependent on the bank. With credit cards, you're only ever liable for $50 of any individual event, ever. And most cards offer 100% protection.
 
The iPhones were probably just released too early. I hope next time Apple learns to make enough of them and have them distributed in quality to all stores for the 5th generation iPhone.

I'm not going to wait that long, but I'm definitely holding off on purchasing the iPhone 4 to avoid all the hassel currently attached to pre-ordering it. Plus, I want the white iPhone, so I have no reason to pre-order the black iPhone4.
 
Are you for real?

Non Essential? Apple products are the most important thing in my (and most others heres) life. I'm devastated, I'm going to be stuck with my 3GS for a few more weeks. I don't know how I can carry on. Oh My God, I've been relegated to having to skate where the puck is!!

It's going to be hard to get through these next few weeks but I know I'll have the support of all of you here to help me through the tough times. We can maybe form a support group. Do you think we all ought to write Steve letters and let him know we don't blame this on him and that we all still love him?

Think Positive. Soon enough we'll all be holding our elegant and delicious looking iPhone 4 and will be once again skating to where the puck is going to be!!!

People like you make me not want to admit I'm an Apple fan. Its an MFing phone. You'll be fine.

Obviously, you don't get out much huh?? Look up "satire" in your spare time.
 
Apple Canceled my Order

I received a email from apple that my order was canceled too. My dad placed his order 2 minutes after me and as of 6/21 his order status is shipped. We both got order conformations. I was just wondering if anyone knows what apple is gonna do for us? I was also wondering if the the peoples who's orders got canceled have a 3G or 3GS phone. Because I have a 3GS and my dad has 3G. So I was wondering if they didn't cancel his order because he has a older phone then me and is not able to get all the new features in the new iTunes download like I can? **
 
I wonder if any of these canceled orders will shift over to some of the July 2nd line?

I have the original iPhone and mine was cancelled and my husband has the 3gs and his order has already been shipped.
