Apple Announces new iPhone 5

[smokey982]

I love my Apple TV too. I just wish it had HBO Go.

I use HBO GO on my iPad and send it to my apple tv that way. It works great.

My new ear pods arrived (as I suspected), and I have to say, they are REALLY nice. The sound is excellent. Deep bass. They fit in the ear nicely. This was a major improvement over the old buds, and they just do not feel cheap at all.

My iPhone made a stopover in Korea on its way here. I guess it really is a World Phone!

Edit: Added the tracking so far.

Mine's history seems to have started in the Home of the Blues.

does it say out for delivery? because a future date has been put on all orders, meaning it will sit at the Daytona beach FedEx hub until friday.

edit: spelling.

My extra Lightning to USB cables. I opened one up and WOW I can't believe how SMALL it is! A lot smaller then I expected! (Check out the pic with the dime next to it!)

Mine is still in Memphis. It's been scanned about 15 times but its staying put due to the hold Apple put on them.

I wonder why they used overnight shipping only to put a hold on them and have them sit in the same shipping center for days. It seems like they could have just used a slower shipping option.

Does anyone here live near Memphis? I wonder if they would let you pick it up locally?

Probably not. I'm sure Apple has told all the places to not release the iPhones early to people picking them up.

They have been simply flying them in bulk from the warehouse in China to the warehouse in Memphis. They will start leaving the warehouse in Memphis today to the local UPS hubs. "Overnight" shipping simply guarantees that they will be delivered on the correct day. I am sure Apple paid a very small price per phone for the service.

Just think of the value of that warehouse... 2 million phones $600-800 MSRP - 1.2-1.6 billion in phones...
