Graphite iPhone - upper right corner... I already see a fingernail smudged inside the box, SMH!!!
The graphics printed on the alleged boxes don't look anywhere near the higher resolution and quality typical of Apple's boxes.
I would barely open that plastic wrapper just enough to to get the box out. And after all was unboxed, I’d put the box back in the plastic in case I sold the phone or whatever. A friend bought my 11P last year and I had the original sticker that came on the phone (put it back on) then packed it all up and into that plastic wrapper. He loved it cause it was still like getting a brand new phone for him - unboxing and all.
Maybe this is Apple tricking us... Maybe they want you to sell your iPhone to them and don't sell them privately. So they came up with this idea.
Maybe cos these are low resolution photos posted on Twitter?
Maybe they used a Samsung Phone to take the pictures.. lol just kidding haha
Sounds plausible 🤔
The last iPhone I had delivered to me was the 11 Pro and it was packaged pretty well. I took a video at the time to show someone how smartly it was packed up. No bubble wrap needed.
Yes, unfortunately, Hopefully, last year doesn't repeat itself in 2021.
What about you?
Yeh all the Apple Watch bands and iPhones I get are packaged like that! Such a good way to keep it secure and not be banged around. Wonder if they’re gonna get rid of this plastic too!?!?
I for one support them getting rid of the shrink wrap. Means faster access to the phone. (Also good for the environment)
I think that plastic is UPS's problem not Apple
my graphite is still processing but the gold is preparing for shipping. very interesting.
13 Pro Max deliveries have now slipped to October 18-25. The early bird really does get the iPhone.
Apple announced it in the keynote so at the very least it’s a joint decision.
Yup still in processing. Was looking back on the threads last year and we both got the preparing to ship on the first night. This will obviously come in waves and I'll bet we get scans over night or something. At least I'm hoping... lol
No way!!! Dang, I was not expecting that. Over a month of a wait. It was worth getting up at 04:00 AM in the morning today. Sheeeesh.
You know everyone is going to be hitting up the Apple store App to check the status... the first thing they will do when they wake up.
Same in Australia. Oct 20-27
A few hours ago there was still option to pick up in store next Saturday but that’s gone now too.

It will get even worse once the media and YouTuber embargo drops on Tuesday
Are there any specific screen protectors that you use or would recommend? 🙂
That is very interesting.. what storage are your phones? The reason I ask, is because most of the "preparing for shipping" phones are coming from the 256gb group. Not sure if I've seen any 512 ones....
