Did you order right after a new model was released (as many people do), or did they just get lucky in calling you soon after you placed an order?


It was in December 2020, so maybe? I can't remember. I had just incorporated an Inc. (and received seed funds, but those weren't publicly available or announced), so maybe some of that info was a trigger. But it was surprisingly well-timed, for sure. It was within three days of placing the order.

I suppose it could have also been as simple as "it's Christmas shopping time." I remember what was most surprising was seeing the caller ID, which I think was actually "Apple Inc," and which was saved as a contact in my phone.
