You forgetful lah.. On launch day Apple deliver the phones already but are staggered over the days. A few days before launch, people here usually will rush to pre-order a lot of iPhones hoping to sell them when they get delivered. Usually the ones that get from telco will be the ones to sell them off immediately.
Or are you so concerned because you are a flipper?![]()
I think you are right...my memory is failing me

Guess I didn't get to order during the first batch as it sold out too fast! Managed to order in end Sept and delivered weeks later in mid-end Oct...
Actually w/o flipper, iPhone launch day will be so boring.
Imagine everyone walk into shop will get an iPhone when walk out, or can get a cheaper iPhone than Apple store from any ah beng shop...
I guess we need flipper to create the long queue, the out of stock, the legendary $2000 resale price...don't you feel SHIOK when ppl eying and drooling???
