WTF Week 38?

What about week 37?

By the way, I noticed that the official Apple website (ever since September 5th) had their boxart display with Macy Gray on it.

The iPods that came out early had that Corinne gal. Maybe they were the cheap early units, and the Macy Gray ones are the real deal.

Aren't week 38s the Macy Gray iPod touch's?

You know what, iLounge may need to retest their iPods.
Perhaps the REAL ones (in theory, the Macy Gray week 38 iPods) have better than promised battery life like the other iPods.

The box art has nothing to do with whether the ipod is good or bad. The build date does.

Doesn't Week 38 have Macy Gray? All the ones I've seen so far have Corinne.

Everything you're asking about has been covered at length in other threads here.

Already said I didn't find anything. People "talk" about it but don't explain it.

This iPod looks pretty perfect. Are these new week 38 iPods in the Apple stores, and has this "week 36/37/38" stuff been confirmed as true?

Most likely no. It looks as if the problem has been corrected. People are no longer reporting that their iPods are defected. Generally, everyone who's getting them in or who has bought one within a day or two are pretty happy. They are coming flawlessly. Macy Gray boxes pretty much look like the next batch. Mine just got "Prepared to ship" today. I am confident that it will be a Macy Gray box, as many of the preorders coming in now are already week 38 Macy Gray boxes with gorgeous displays.

EDIT: Looks like you beat me to the pic, Dogenzaka. It hasn't been confirmed by Apple as true, but more of a general consensus with the public on here, Macrumors, AppleInsider, and Apple.com.

A ton of people got theirs already. I'm patient, so I don't mind. I live in Florida. Keep checking your status, chances are your product will ship before the estimated date.

Yea, no problem. It looks like the preorder shipments are being processed randomly. I ordered mine within hours of its release, some people ordered a few days ago and got their's first. It's all good really, because I'm sure they are coming in perfect condition and in most cases, before next Friday.

hmm.. I wonder if I should exchange mine now or not from the Apple Store. I have Week 37 version and does have a slight black color problem, but it's nothing like some people have had. How does Apple usually handle things like this?

So what if your screen has a little problem? Return it anyway. Better to have a perfect unit. Just exchange it at Apple.

Yeah, sorry for sounding uncertain, just never dealt with Apple before (Never owned an iPod until now), and their return policy seems a bit skewed from the rest of the places I've ever shopped/worked.

I'll probably call the store tomorrow morning since I live an hour away and see if they have any in stock or not.

Tomorrow is when the first batch of preorders arrive at the front doors of the people who preordered earliest! We shall see and find out for sure.

Also, with all these Weeks and all, what about Week 39? XD

Hope I don't get an Amy Whinehouse box that has to go back to rehab.

not all 38s are fine, just most

possibly. just worth noting before people start assuming "week 38 = perfect ipod guaranteed!".
