Any chance it might come early?

Probably not. Apple usually have agreements with delivery companies to only deliver on the advertised availability date. Having said that, I am aware some people did get their phones a day earlier than anticipated in previous years.

Is there anychance that if you've ordered your iphone 4 for delivery it might come early?

It certainly won't come before June 24.

I know that some stores already have the phones in stock.

I'm pretty sure they don't. In the past, the new iPhones were delivered to the stores a day or two before release.

This is incredible.

This actually did happen once when I was on another planet.

Yes, if there were a "like" button, I would have pressed it!!!! Ha ha. That was really funny!!! Plus, I DO know exactly what you are talking about with people in line getting all "what did you get" "is it better than what I got"?

Anyway, NO the release date is the release date if that is the original question. As far as delivering early, I heard the 24th might not be made. Anyone who didn't get in on the 24th delivery date MAY get theirs before the "quoted" date Apple gives you in the "order status" results. I got my ipad 2 days before the actual date given on their site under "order status".

My iPad arrived the day before it's scheduled delivery day, as did a lot of other people's.

So, there's always a chance, but you're not going to know until/unless it happens.

Nice. I laughed for about 10 mins. Thanks.

GatorsFan....Haha! Wow, that's just great! lol

I think we need a 'like' button, because I laughed really hard. xD

Today's delivery companies (FedEx, UPS, etc) generally send out e-mails when the product's ready to ship, with a link the parties involved can use to track delivery progress. I'm sure this will be the case with the Apple iPhone 4.

Here's the real deal: The phone will get there the day Apple said it will. If not, it won't. That's the bottom line: it will, or it won't. Point is, all the worrying in the world won't affect it one way or the other.
