So if the order doesn't ship for delivery the 21st then does that mean it will be 2 weeks when the next batch hits?

 

[Ken Masters]

I've been out all day, what's the latest on ScuffGate? I am scared and thinking of going white!

the verge/apple drama thickens

 

[Aurizen]

I see that people are selling the iphone 5 already on ebay for twice what its worth.

 

[Raw64life]

Got nervous when my phone went from Illinois to Kentucky considering that I'm in New York. It seems to be back on track now though.

Mine went from Alaska to Kentucky, and I live in Seattle.

Lol at this picture from MacRumors. Either that's video compression or the engadget reviewer dropped his phone in a puddle. Either way people are freaking out. #scruffgate

Wow, it never occurred to me to use Flightaware Those macrumors dudes are thorough. Nothing has left SDF for BWI yet. Looks like there's ussuallyy just one a day at around 4:30am. Guess my babies are sitting in a cargo can right now.

Mine went from Alaska to Kentucky, and I live in Seattle.

UPS and Fedex traditionally send all air freight to the main hub in Louisville/Memphis and then sent it to its actual destination from there. Cargo does't care how out of the way its routing is, or how long the layover is, and you can service the entire country with many fewer flights.

If you ever have the chance to get a look at the operation in SDF or MEM, definitely do it. It's a really amazing business.

White is looking better by the minute!

About that...

don't know what cheap case they were using to cause that. I've use Incase on my iPhone 4 since I bought it and when I took it off recently the phone looked brand new, and I dropped my phone many times.

The Apple bumper did that to my 4. I took it off and left it off since noticing the scratches. I won't be putting a case on my 5.

 

[BowieZ]

In line at JBhifi, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M EVEN DOING

 

[mightynine]

I just want a pouch for the 5. Who makes a good one?

 

[evil ways]

Is it normal that the $199 charge to my card has been credited back to my bank account?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Nah man, my scuffed phone will look awesome when I take it out of my scuffed leather jacket.

I like Sena. I have the ultraslim for the 4S and it's still pristine looking. They also have a thicker one if you're into that. Only downside is price.

 

[Chuckl3s]

On the white, is the metal antenna note painted like the black? Any reports that the white scuffs as well?

can we call president clinton's blow job scandal billgate?

I was using the official bumper case

Only if we can call the watergate scandal "Watergate"...wait a minute...

 

[snack]

I used the official bumper on my iPhone 4 and I have some pretty bad scuffing on my sides because of it. That rubber material fucks everything up...

I'm surprised Apple haven't announced official bumpers for this yet.

They killed the bumpers. There are no bumpers planned anymore.

I have the ultraslim for iPhone and iPad and it's awesome. You can also google search for SENA coupons and most of the time you can get a few bucks taken off.

Inceptiongate.

that doesn't seem like it would be a good thing. but I think the scratches are now the dominant subject over shipping

Damn blacks, keep your shitty phone and leave my whites alone.

That's Racist!

 

[Dreaver]

I was planning to buy the black version until I started reading about the scuffs.
It makes me confused if I should go with white instead...

I am wondering how serious this problem is or just very minor. I remember a lot of complaints how pinkish the screen of my phone (HTC Desire) was when brightness was all the way down. A lot of people complained but I seriously couldn't (can't) be bothered with it.

 

[Koodo]

I kinda want to get it tomorrow, but then I don't, and if I don't, who knows how supply constrained it will be and when I'll get it.

I need the Australian guinea pigs to report asap on the condition of their black phones. <3

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Australia & Japan should have theirs. Surprised there are no pics in here.

I would as I was first in line but the telco system has melted down under all the new orders. Been waiting hour and a half for contract to process.

Black for mine. White for the wife.

[saelz8]

Black is still the best choice. I don't mind the scruffs, since they make the phone more cinematic.

 

[Aurizen]

The iphone 5 are being released in parts of the world, Australia is selling it now. cant wait till it hits the US.

 

[Tobor]

Going down to the Apple store at 6A tomorrow. Fuck it.

 

[Vyer]

I wish I had decided earlier and preordered. I'm not really feeling doing an early morning hunt to try and buy this.

Don't do it man. I got a launch 4 after 10 hours in line. Wasn't worth having it day 1. Lol.

Does it look like it would scratch easily?

10 hours? I've waited tons of times, it's never taken that long. I'm hoping to be out in 4.

Is not about scratches but the paint coming off

 

[Zeth]

Didn't some iPads launch at 1pm eastern at retail? Maybe the 3G original iPad. That was a long wait, think I got there at 6am.

That was long, but there were no online preorders for that, IIRC.

iPad 2 launched at 5pm on a Friday. Waited in line from the morning

The first scuff is the deepest.

That must have been it. iPad 3G was pretty bad too because it was less exciting heh.

I love the smell of commerce in the morning.
