i'm still waiting on my phone, i'm getting kind of annoyed about it honestly. it's especially irritating because 4.0 runs like absolute ***** on my two year-old 3G.

i used to work at apple, they really don't let the employees talk about shipments or what's going on behind the scenes. they're just doing their job in that regard, but i do wish this priority list stuff was better organised. i don't think the employees in the stores have access to the list, i think it's controlled by corporate.

I was put on the priority list in store at cabot cirucs Bristol (uk)on Saturday the 26th, I got an instant reply from apple to confirm I was placed on the list and that they would let me know as soon as the iphone 4 was in stock. It's been 11 days since then without a word from apple to say whether I have moved up the list, or a predicted date for when I could pick it up. Just not very professional from apple in my opinion.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the "priority list" and how does one get on it?

"Your iPhone 4 will be here before you know it." - Apple email

More like - "Your iPhone 4 will be here, just as soon as you've given up all hope of finding out what's going on"

You can get on a 'priority list' by attending or calling an Apple Store.
It means you will apparently be contacted when an iPhone 4 of the type you want is available for you, and will be reserved for a 24hr period.

I went on the reserve list in leicester uk on the 25th june - i rang them today to enquire when they are getting any new stock in - all i got was a vague response. I asked when i might hear from them and i was told i'm in the 1st quarter of the list so should hear when stock comes in. When that is i don't know......i continue to wait ...zzzzz

Vicky,
What does this tell you?

I just signed up on the priority list this morning (7/7) at my nearby store in Lyndhurst, Ohio (Cleveland). It was for a 16gb black. I was told the last shipment they received was 4-5 days ago. Hopefully the trend will continue. I will let everyone know how my experience goes...

Ooo, that sounds good for those of us waiting for our phones to ship. If that's the case, they probably will be having a round of shipping here in a few days. 🙂

I added my name to the in-store priority list for a 16 GB black iPhone 4 last Wednesday morning, June 30, at the Knoxville, TN Apple Store. I haven't heard a peep since my confirmation email reading that I had been added to the list.
