Apparently anyone who reserved a phone ahead of time will still get theirs but walk ins are going to have a hard time.

Oh no! fewer iPhone X for us

Approximately $300,000 gone just like that. Hope they catch the fugitives . Doubt those phones will even be able to get used even if they recover them. Apple will most likely blacklist all of those IMEI’s

The article says that Apple has catalogued the serial numbers of the stolen devices. I’m sure they’re no good.

Yup I figured. Apple is pretty swift with blacklisting stolen devices.

The thing is, the thieves will sell the phones on the street or on shady sites to unsuspecting people that don’t know to check if the IMEI is good before buying it. It’s unfortunate

Yep.

My questions are these:

1. How did they know that all of those devices were on that one UPS truck?

2. If the trucks are loaded in a manner based on routes, how did the thieves know where to look?

3. How much time did they have to be able to grab approximately 300 packages containing an iPhone X?
