Hi I ordered an iPhone 4 32gb from Apple's website just a few hours ago. I'm so excited!! I was just wondering if it really was going to take 3 weeks to ship to Sacramento, CA. Is there anyone who lives around here that can tell me how long it took for theirs to ship? Thanks!

It's not that it takes 3 weeks to get there, it's that Apple is selling as many iPhones as they're making them. So yours has a high chance of shipping out before that 3-week mark, but they say 3 weeks just in case.
Your phone will be shipping directly from the factory in China, and will most likely take a week once it ships out.

Thanks for the reply. I was just scared because in my order status it says it ships out August 12 and gets here August 17. It doesn't say thats the estimated date, it just says "Ships: Aug 12 Delivers: Aug 17." So I wasn't sure if that was definite or not. And to make things worse, my cousin told me that my local apple store would be getting a shipment of iPhone 4's on the 26 of July
Looks like I have to wait.

Apple is pretty good on their estimates. If they say it will ship on the 12th, chances are that's when it will ship.
