I ordered 5 iPhones from apple.com on last Friday, and just received an e-mail confrim they all shipped out from SHENZHEN China.
I used same account and same credit card and same shipping address to order, this is the 3rd time(5 phones every time), no problem getting iPhone at all (interesting issue!!!)
I used FedEx 2nd days service everytime I ordered, and I noticed last two times the phones were sent out from ONTARIO, CA . but, this time they ship out from SHENZHEN China (factory).
During past orders, they shipped out 5 iPhones in ONE shipment, this time they sent out 5 phones in each seperate shipment (5 boxes).
As all of you know that the 1.12 version is coming out in the next few days, do you think the phones I odered from on-line will be the new 1.12 version?
It's really interesting because they usually sent out from Ontario CA for the order that's ship with FedEx 2nd days serivce, but now they started shipping out from the factory. Possibility sending new version out to on-line customers?

Normal. I always get them from China.

orders with "expedited shipping (2nd days)" were sent from China also??? that's weird, because on my previous purhcased, they were sent from CA.
