Apple iPhone 4 16GB version comes along with two-year contract for the price tag of $199 and 32GB version for $299.
Last Friday reports emerged that Apple has notified some of its iPhone 4 customers that their iPhone 4 orders are ready for shipment and will most likely be available by June 24 (iPhone 4 launch day and date to deliver device to customers, who booked it in advance).
Reportedly, majority of notifications sent to customers are indicating delivery date of June 24. However, there are some customers, who are reporting that their notifications state shipment date of June 23.
The time of shipment arrival stated on notifications is reported to be “by 4:30 PM.”
These reports are is in stark contrast with Apple and AT&T’s recent statement that iPhones pre-orders have surpassed their estimation due to which customers might not get their devices by June 24.

Apple and AT&T cancelling pre-orders randomly?
Amid news of Apple notifying customers about iPhone 4’s delivery date, reports have started to surface that Apple and AT&T are randomly canceling pre-orders taken just last week.
Reportedly, majority of notifications sent to customers are indicating delivery date of June 24. However, there are some customers, who are reporting that their notifications state shipment date of June 23.
Various tech sites are reporting that AT&T and Apple are busy canceling orders for variety of reasons such as incomplete authorization process, unverified information etc.
A tech sites, Engadget, recently, published an e-mail message sent by Apple to a customer stating that their pre-order has been canceled as they “were unable to complete the authorization process.”
The reported e-mail message from Apple reads:
Dear Customer,
We were unable to complete the authorization process for your iPhone order. As a result, we had to cancel your iPhone order. To complete the purchase of your iPhone, please visit an Apple Retail Store or an AT&T company-owned retail store. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Sincerely, Apple Online Store Team.
