Anybody notice that this is the first time in recent memory that Apple has given the phone to bloggers outside of Baig, Pogue and Mossberg, prerelease? Looks like they sent one to Engadget and Boing Boing.
There is a gadget blog, however, that's (not-so) curiously absent from the list...
- megablast 16y agoNot only that, but web-pre orders are actually getting the phone early as well, 2 days early for some people. This hasn't happened before, Apple had usually been very strict on when fedex can deliver the phone. Possibly Apple is trying to move these as quickly as possible, since it seems this will be the biggest seller yet. There is already talk of delaying the international releases for next month.
- siglesias 16y agoI've heard this is to mitigate risk of registration overloads. I don't think Apple has tried at-home activation since the original launch.
