Why is apple taking so long to ship the new iphone 5

why is the iphone five taking so long to ship

When iphone orders go over the number of units produced, they have to wait until they fill up the inventory before shipping.

  • HT2693 I have been trying to down load 3 movies for the last week and they are still trying to download why is this taking so long we have the gig to download? Apple have charged us for the movies and we can't watch them

    I have been trying to play my movies that I purchased but they have now been down loading for a week.
    Why are they taking so long?

    Cancel the downloads and reset the iPad (Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignor the off slider. Then turn the iPad back on). Go back to the Purchased screen in the I.tunes app and redownload. You may want to down load one at a time.

    If you're doing the full update it's almost a gig of data, take a bit to download that. It usually comes down to your internet connection.

    Why is it taking so long to download the upgrade from snow leopard v10.6.8 to os X Mavericks?

    Because the file is over 5 GBs. If your internet service is slow then it can take a long time - several hours.

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
    Regards.

    please i need a new respont.. and check the security about iphone Someone call reply the text messenger from the Block area.

    It sounds as if you only had one line with an upgrade available. So you can only upgrade one line. For you to upgrade as well, you will have to wait until your upgrade is available. You can check that at MyVerizon. That's just how it works. All carriers and phone brands are the same. I have to wait until February to upgrade. The only thing you can do to get the new iPhone, is add a new line. But then you're paying for a line you don't need.

  • Why is it I can't just buy the new iPhone without needing an upgrade?

    This has been the most bizarre experience I have ever encountered, and it's enough to put me off Verizon and Apple altogether.
    Yesterday, I went to pick up the new iPhone for myself and my wife, having gotten and email that we were eligible for the Early EDGE upgrade. I'm first told at the store that Apple is only allowing 1 phone per person to be sold... Ok, fine. So I get inside and, being the decent gentleman I am, opt to upgrade my wife's line first and will just do mine later that day. Upgrade for her goes smooth, now it's time to do mine. Oh, wait, apparently the EDGE upgrade can be applied to one line, and it was just my wife's; a detail that was cleverly hidden at the bottom of the email in black on grey text after all the marketing copy about how great the new edge program is. The Verizon rep tries to think of ways to get me the phone cheaper, but ultimately can't. I ask if I can just buy the phone at cost, and I'm told no because it doesn't go on sale to the general public until later, though no time is given. Again, Apple's rules.
    Now, I'm pretty sure Apple could care less about exactly when someone buys their phone if they have the cash to do so, and I'm doubly sure they don't care about making sure those with upgrades can get the phone. All of this is starting to sound a little iffy. Whatever, I let it slide.
    It is now 6pm, still yesterday, and we head into Best Buy to look at cases and see if they have a display 6 Plus to check out, as I'm curious about the size. I ask a Best Buy rep if they have any iPhone 6s left; they do; 128gbs? Yup. Silver??? Yup. VERIZON???? Yup. I'LL TAKE IT! One iPhone 6 at full price please! Oh, wait, no; Apple boogie man says I can't buy the phone for full price, I have to have to qualify for an upgrade. (I'm getting more and more ****** as I'm typing this, FYI). Ok, so now clearly something is amiss. 2 different locations- the official Verizon Store AND Best Buy are telling me I can't buy the phone without an upgrade, and both of them suggesting Early EDGE, even though I have the cash to just buy it. I tweet my frustration to both VerizonWireless and Apple. AC from Verizon Support tweets back sayings they should have let me buy it... Wow, this is ridiculous.
    Can someone please clarify this: who is correct here? Is it really Apple playing gate keeper and looking out for those upgrade-only customers? Why is it 2 different places told me the same thing, yet the support rep is telling me something different?
    At this point I'm just not going to both attempting to get the phone for a while since this has put me off even trying, but some clarity on just what is going on would be nice. Also, please talk to your Director of Customer Loyalty about his team's email design. While I'm fine with finding out it was just one line, (though I would have preferred both since my wife and I have been on the same account since it opened...), burying that information at the bottom of the email is not going to help retain customers. Expiration dates and other terms of service are fine there, but which line the upgrade applies to needs to be surfaced sooner.

  • Why is iOS7 taking so long to download on my iPhone 5?

    I started the download shortly after 1:00PM this afternoon when the iOS 7 download became available and it is now 8:30PM. It has gone from saying there were 27 hours remaining, to 12, to 34, and now it is saying there are about 47 hours remaining. I am not sure why my phone is taking so long to update when just about everyone I know that has started the download has iOS 7 running on their phones already. Is there anything I can do to speed up the update? Please help!

    Could be something with your internet connection.  Other than that, with everyone trying to download ios7 at the same time can cause delays.

  • Why has apple waited so long to make the colored back for ipod touch

    I wonder why apple has waited so long to make colored backs for the ipod touch. the last models attracted scratches and you couldn't do anything about it and even if you had a case you would get some kind of chip or whatever. Haven't they heard the comments on youtube and stuff and now they anwer the call this should have ended at the second or third generation.

    Apple has not said why. The terms of use of this forum include:

  • Why is Apple not offering AppleCare Plus on the new iPod Touch 5th Gen?

    I don't understand why Apple would offer damage protection on iPhone and iPad, but not on iPod touches? Unless Apple offers a replacement model for $149 ($99 plus $49 deductable), then I don't see the point. However, I still think it makes the purchase decision a lot easier on parents knowing that a $300 or $400 device can be protected in case of accidental damage.

    That question would be more appropriate for Apple support. All of here are only end users like yourself and can only speculate as to why it's not being offered for the 5G iPod Touch.  However, speculation of Apple products and such are prohibitied on these forums. Sorry.
