Fair enough. But what if due to circumstances beyond his control, this person had the box "stolen" by "criminals" who then opened the box and took highly detailed pictures of the contents.
This will be not the fault of your friend. The breakdown of modern day society will be to blame. |

Okay, have just spoken to a mate at a mass merchant. They have also received an NDA'd shippment from Apple (very different packaging though) - got theirs yesterday. Looks like there could be something to this.

Hmm, it's only a matter of time before pics start coming out. Somewhere in the world, someone has got one of these boxes that they'll open and post pics of.
