Found this interesting, thought I'd share:
I'm one of the "lucky" ones to recieve my iPhone on the 21st. Now if you all have heard about the scuffing problem, I got one of those iPhones. Unfortunately 😟
Anyway, called Apple, and I'll just get to the point: I'm having a brand new one (factory sealed, in original packaging) sent to me on Monday and will arrive by Wednesday. It's coming from Apple in CA.
Just found it interesting that I didn't need to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. The supervisor said they had a bunch over at Apple CA.
