New 16G iPhone Ships from China?

Guess these aren't even assembled in the good ole USA.

If lead is found in the iphones, I am sure that apple would refund money, right? Oh, and there are plenty of techie devices that contain lead paint...I recently bought a "chill pad" to place under my Macbook to prevent the computer from heating up so much, and I happened to read the small teeny tiny print on the back of the package and it says "WARNING: contains lead paint, wash hands after use" What the heck??? Be careful what you buy...I think packages are required to put warning labels about lead paint, however, if it is in trace amounts then maybe they won't put a label!

  • Why does the iPhone ship from China?

    I've been reading many people's posts about their iPhone shipping from China. Mine is shipping from Kentucky. Apple is an American company, so how does that work?

    Apple uses subcontracted factories (such as Foxconn) in China to manufacture the products. I don't think it pays "China" anything per se.

  • New 16G iPhone - I Got it!

    I work a few blocks from the downtown SF Apple flagship store so I dropped by soon after 10a and was the tenth buyer of the new 16G iPhone. I compared it to my present 8G in size and they are the same.
    I asked the sales manager if I could just replace my old SIM card into the new iPhone and he said no, that I should connect it to my iTunes and walk through the activation process again. No, it will not sign me up for a new two-year contract but will transfer my account information to the new iPhone along with all my settings, movies, music, contacts, etc.
    My next question was, what to do with my old 8G iPhone. He suggested I put it up on eBay or sell it to a friend who wanted one. How would they get a new SIM card? He said they would go into AT&T and AT&T would give them one for AT&T service.
    I decided to go in and buy the new iPhone because there will be a slew of the older 8G on eBay soon and I want to try and get a good price for my old one. It is in great shape, no scratches or dings. The Sales Manager said I was purchasing one of the first 16G distributions, I was sale number 10, and that Apple's first distribution devices were always double tested. He said I could check the serial number to see what production number it was. They made a big deal about the sale, holding it up for everyone in the store to see and "whoop whoop". It was funny.
    OTOH, my friend purchased a new 16G iTouch last Wednesday from Best Buy and wanted to upgrade to the 32G so she went with me. They told her she would have to go back to Best Buy to buy the upgrade, it would cost her an additional $100 more, and that she needed all the original packaging and receipt. Just FYI for anyone who buys Apple stuff at non-Apple stores.

    Congratulations on your new 16 GB iPhone! I'll admit my jealousy upfront, having had an 8 GB since they first came out.
    OTOH, I do find that digital space is just like space in real life: the more you have, the more you use.
    Right now, I'm nowhere close to using up my 8 GB, so it makes no sense for me to buy a new iPhone just for the extra room.
    So why am I still jealous ??..

  • I have purchased CS6 from an on line source.  The item was shipped from China.  Is it legit?

    I have purchased CS6 from an on line source.  The item hase been shipped from China.  Can this be legitimate Adobe sofware?

    The few times I have purchased Adobe software in package form, it was always shipped from inside the US.
    Now Adobe sells their software online and I would only trust Amazon outside of that.
    I don't know what you are getting,but not sure I'd want it on my computer.

  • Macbook shipping from China? When will it get here?

    Hey guys I just ordered a macbook 2.0 ghz 1 GB ram 100 GB processor on Sunday and it said that it shiped today (24th) from SUZHOU China... I was wondering if anyone knows when it will get here and I live in California...

    Mine took a little less than a week - 6 full days, 4 business days. I ordered it CTO - configured to order which means they had to swap out the 512MB or RAM and replace it with 2G-Ram then replace the 60G internal hard drive with a 120G hard drive, package up the addons: a dialup modem USB modem cable and DVI to VGA, DVI to DVI cables. I ordered it at 7:39am on May 16th and the promised delivery date was June 2nd. It's not even June yet! I did not order quick or overnight shipping - just regular Apple free FedEx shipping from China. Apple was fast!

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

  • Shipping from China?

    Purchased my 16 MB IPOD touch yesterday off the Apple web site. Got a fed ex tracking number and it's being shipped in from China. I know they are built in China, but I just find it odd that they have no domestic supply facility in the US to ship it from, instead of shipping it all the way from China to my house.

    I've been tracking my ipod and it's set to arrive today. However when I checked on the power adaptor which is being sent via DHL, the tracking is quite amusing. Apparently it left China, was on it's way to Los Angeles, sent back to China, and now back in transit to LA.

  • Non-config mbpr shipping from China and delivery times

    So I purchased 2 macbooks in 2013 and both were base model 15" mbpr. Both of them shipped from the warehouse in the US. Have also asked my friends about their macs and all seem to have received theirs from the US.  I just purchased the 2nd tier 13" mbpr - (2.4 i5, 8gb ram, 256gb) and the tracking says it is coming from Shanghai.     Yes, I do know that most (if not all) Apple products are assembled in China I've also been told that specially configured models are shipped from abroad but mine is not the case.    Not sure if this is the norm??
    Also, has anyone had experience with how long it takes for the macbook to arrive?

    TL/DR If your item has not arrived from Asia by 30 days after cleared payment, go to the Resolution Centre and open an Item Not Received Claim. If the seller cannot prove delivery, you will be refunded.  

  • Where did everyone's new Mac Pro ship from?

    Mine shipped from "BLOOMINGTON, CA". And it only took 3 days, with FedEx Ground. Interesting, I thought it's manufactured in China?

    I got a shipping notice for mine this evening. Fedex says they picked it up in Fullerton, CA.
    My understanding is that Apple routinely does the CTO/BTO final configurations in the USA.

  • I BOUGHT IPHONE 4 FROM CHINA BUT WHY I DONT GET WARRANTY FOR IT IN INDIA SERVICE CENTER IS SAYING THEY CANT REPAIR IT CUZ ITS OUT COUNTRY HANDSET... M SO UPSET PLZ HELP ME OUT

    i bought phone from china but i m from india and i m not getting warrenty in india....i m so upset with this type of feed back from authorised service center in india...how they can tell me that phone is out of warrenty cuz i biought it from china...is there anyone who can tell me if its true that we will not get warrenty for iphone in india

    I am from Canada and have the Unlocked iPhone 4 and the phone is on LTE network, when I bought Apple Care + warranty I was told if I had problems I can get it fixed or replaced in Hong Kong.  I was told the wrong thing.
    I was at the Apple store in Causeway Bay, one of the Store TL from Toronto works there now, told me China/HK iPhone runs on a CDMA network and therefore cannot replace or exchange my phone for me.  Their phones doesn't have LTE network.. That might be a problem for you in India.  Every country's network is different and I think it's a case of miscommunications.
    The iPhone 4 comes with your basic 1yr warranty, unless you purchased extended warranty for another 2 yrs which might have coverage at India.  The best is to contact or email: Apple Warranty in the USA.  They're awesome.  They reply you back quickly & very informative.
