Apple Confirms They Delayed Early iPhone Deliveries
Earlier we reported that UPS Twittered that they were being asked by Apple to hold iPhone deliveries until Friday. Apple just sent an email that confirms that Tweet.
Apple sent an email out to Apple customers that purchased the iPhone 3G S and explained that we won't be getting their devices until Friday.
Here is what Apple sent to its iPhone hungry customers:
To Our Valued Apple Customer:
Thank you for your recent order with Apple.
Our records indicate that your iPhone 3G S pre-order has shipped.
Our carrier's website may have displayed an incorrect delivery
date for your order. However, we expect your iPhone order to be
delivered on time on June 19, 2009.
You can view the most up-to-date status of your order at <http://apple.com/orderstatus>.
We're not sure why getting an iPhone one or two days early is a horrible thing. Maybe it has something to do with the AT&T network, or maybe Apple doesn't like it when you call your friend to brag that you have your new iPhone and they have to wait until Friday to pick up theirs.
Yeah, it's probably the second one.
Drop your ideas on why Apple stopped early delivery in the comments below.

This is just like when the Harry Potter books were released. They were held in warehouses until the day of release and then were all delivered on the same day. I'd love my brand new iPhone 3G S as early as possible, but I think that simultaneous worldwide release is probably their goal here.

I think they want it to be delivered the day of the release just as a convenience. Every other company ships the day of release, so you end up getting the product sometimes a week after everyone else has theirs. I guess it would be too convenient to have it early, though. Remember how the same thing with leopard?
