Apple Confirms Apple Watch Preorders Will “Arrive Sooner Than Expected”

Just today Canadian Apple Watch preorders with May and June preorders started to move into the ‘Preparing for Shipment’ stage, meaning a faster delivery window than expected.

Apple has confirmed to BuzzFeed News that Apple Watch orders with late spring/early summer delivery windows are now shipping ahead of schedule:

“We’re happy to be updating many customers today with the news that their Apple Watch will arrive sooner than expected,” an Apple spokeswoman told BuzzFeed News. “Our team is working to fill orders as quickly as possible based on the available supply and the order in which they were received. We know many customers are still facing long lead times and we appreciate their patience.”

Not all orders are in the clear though, as Apple has acknowledged some customers still face “long lead times.” But this is a positive sign.

So there you have it. Your Apple Watch preorder will come sooner than you think, just be patient. In the meantime, check out these Canadian Apple Watch app screenshots to keep you occupied while you’re waiting.

Ha ha ha very funny 🙂
“To Keep you occupied while waiting!”
Here is a btter idea
What about going to sleep so that time moves faster? 🙂
Or smoke marijuana so that we can lose track of time completely!
And after we wake up we discover a yellow note on the door says that UPS came while no one there and the delivery is rescheduled for Monday!!

macrumors has confirmed what i received as a email. Many more people are getting this same email so I’m assuming and order of the Stainless Steel won’t be getting theirs on the 24th, even if your order says 24/5-8/5.

heres a link to there findings.
