Apple iPhpne order delayed

This is a user to user only forum. You aren't speaking with Apple, so we cannot offer any intelligence on when your phone will be received. Apple may have your payment information, but they won't charge your payment method until the phone is ready to be shipped, so you at least won't pay for it until then. Otherwise, if you're in the US, you can call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE, but they likely can't do anything about a delay. Since this is a gift, if it doesn't make it in time for you, put a photo of the phone in a box and wrap it and give that to whoever you're giving the phone to, so they can at least know you bought them an iPhone. If someone bought me one, I'd be thrilled, even if I had to wait a little for it to be delivered.

I'm sure there are others who have faced delays, but there delay won't be your delay, so I'm not sure their experience will help with yours.
