My 32GB Black 4s has left Louisville and is scheduled for delivery here "behind the cheddar curtain" (Wisconsin) by end of day tomorow. For those of you still awaiting tracking #s, I sincerely hope it all works out and you get to enjoy your new iPhone tomorrow. And for others whose orders didn't make it into the first batch, I hope the coming days go by very quickly.
It occurs to me that there must be many employees of Apple, UPS, FedEX, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon that will be very relieved when this effort is over. They have accomplished an amazing feat by fulfilling so many pre-orders so quickly. I cannot imagine the coordination of the logistics (currently the seemingly favorite word in the English language for UPS) that was necessary...from the planning, to the implementation, to the coordination, to the monitoring.
Usually, I'm one to take these things for granted. And as I said, I'm sorry for those whose orders were somehow bungled, and I hope all is made right. But in this case, I'd like to thank all involved for their work. Even in this age of technology, when many of us expect so much, it's pretty impressive, in my opinion.
