I microwave steaks.
At least there was someone there, I haven't seen a ups truck go by at all
How late does ups deliver? It's already 6:25!

UPS likes to drop off my packages by 7:30pm. Thankfully, for some unknown reason, they delivered my iPhone at 9:30 this morning.At least there was someone there, I haven't seen a ups truck go by at all

My 4S seems so stubby and fat and heavy now.
UPS tortured me until 4:30 but got it and loving it. Looks like I avoided the scuffs a lot of people having been getting. Was going to attempt to go caseless but now after everything I'm reading I wanna run out and get one right now. Any good sites with recommendations for cases yet?
I'll quote my post again for the new page, although the situation is still the same.
Per-ordered with AT&T 6am pacific when they went live last Friday. Was told my phone is still two weeks back ordered. Cancelled this morning and walked into San Fran flagship apple store at 3pm. PLENTY were left, 10 minutes later I am typing this post on the iPhone 5.
Fuck this thing is light and fast! White 32gb if we're keeping tally

I'm getting 23mbps/11mbps over AT&T's LTE here in the KC burbs. The download speed isn't faster than my home connection, but that upload speed certainly is. I'll actually get to enjoy the LTE next month when I'm not up against the limit (I accidentally upgraded almost 2gb of apps over LTE instead of WIFI ><).
The warmness I felt on the phone has gone away oddly enough. It's now room temperature. Maybe that's because I turned LTE off?
I'll be switching with a white one at the first opportunity (scuffffgateeee), but I'm really impressed with the phone otherwise. Coming from an IP4, the speed of the camera, mail app, map app, etc, is a revelation.

God damn. Crazy how Apple how missed this.
If you really want to protect it just get a sleeve for when you carry it around, best protection there is. Hard plastic cases will risk damaging your device either way.
Just don't drop the thing.

Uh oh. I'm in Irvine too, but my iPhone 5 is at home.
I swear if AT&T doesn't have LTE coverage in Irvine...

One negative people have pointed out about the white phone is that the black borders used to vertically center apps that don't yet support the full height of the screen (which is almost all of them currently) are MUCH more noticeable than on the black, where they are basically invisible.

Well that was dissapointing...
I just moved from the 64gb 4s to the 64gb 5, and I'm loving it. To answer your question, however, hell no.

No, falling apart. Not falling out.
I don't have the new earpods but the soft plastic border around the earbuds would always fall apart and/or the earbud cover would pop off after about 2 months.

I'm not totally surprised. Apple gets tunnel vision a lot of the time when they're focused on something.

Phew, white iPhone arrived and no scuffs.

Adorable kid was not enough to detract from apparent shittiness of the 5's back :/ Sigh, was hoping to go caseless, but not so sure now... And for anyone commenting on industrial design blah blah blah, I wanna keep the phone is as good condition as possible to flip it 2 years down the line when iPhone 6 is out
Depends on how much you can sell your 4S for. If you can get enough money to cover most of the cost then why the hell not?

Verizon fucked up my order and I'm mad. I cancelled my wife's phone order and my phone was on the same order. I asked him specifically if my phone was still on order and the dude answered "yes sir" 3 times. I felt like a jerk asking. Went home to look up the order status and the whole damn thing was cancelled. Now instead of Oct 5 the expected arrival date is Oct 19. Goddammit.
Combined with how underwhelmed I am with the iPhone 5 so far and the scuff issue, I think I'm going to return the thing tomorrow and wait to see how it plays out. I used a naked iPhone 4 for more than two years without issue, and that iFixIt video was enough to change my mind on iPhone 5 ownership... very disappointing.
Just opened up my 5. First impressions, unfucking real at how thin, light, and sexy it looks. Coming from a 3GS, this is some space-aged hardware right here.
Unfortunately, mine also came with a piece of lint or metal wedged inbetween the side of the screen and the bezel. How picky am I allowed to be in asking for an exchange? Scuffgate doesn't bother me, but this appears to be a gap between the screen and bezel.

Clearly not, but I'm loving it all the same.
Bloody hell at those scratches.... This is from someone who thought Antennagate wasn't a big deal.
I love using my iPhone 4 without a case, a case just ruins the feel and immaculate design. I carry my phone in a purse pocket along with my keys and have done so since I've had it, and I can't see any obvious scratches on it. When cleaned it looks as nice as the day I bought it. This is super disappointing, I hope there's some further clarification on what's happening.

Fuck it, if it isn't perfect, exchange it for one that is. You're paying top dollar for that thing.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Finally got home! What a long day of work (though, honestly, work itself was pretty good!)

Already had one person stop me to check out the 5 while waiting to see Bill Nye.

Haha well right after I made this post the ups guy was rolling down the street. I asked if he was delivering a lot of these and he said not really. I guess my neighborhood is really the last in line.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL! I'm not taking the plastic off until i can get a screen protector and case on this thing stat!

Jersey City AT&T LTE gets me 3.3 down and 5.57 up. Why are these pings so slow but it feels so fast?
DeadRockstar

That's bandwidth, not ping/latency. You're looking for a number measured in ms for ping. If the number is low, that's probably why it feels so fast.

Anyone else having issues with the store coming up? Namely the top charts and featured?
Three core GPU. That's nifty.
I see a lot of replies like this. Feel free to correct me, but scuffgate is about how easily it scuffs. Not that it comes pre-scuffed.

It's both, unfortunately.

seems like if the ups driver did a sharp turn would = scuffs.
