28 Jun 09 iPhone 3G S Out of Stock!
As far as Apple is concerned, running out of stock as far as the new iPhone 3G S is not really surprising. Reviewed and seen to be ransacked by people aching to have the new version iPhone, the new device follows the footsteps during the Summer of 2008 where the iPhone 3G ran out of stock as well. Now, a widget has been released, the iPhone availability widget, which was last seen and used during that Summer which should guide aspiring iPhone 3G S buyers when and where to get one.
The shortages are all over the lot, but Apple seems to be having a particularly hard time meeting demand for the entry-level white iPhone 3GS. In Texas, the 16GB model is sold out in all but three of the state’s 15 Apple Stores. It’s not clear whether demand for that model is unusually high or if Apple just isn’t making enough of them.
Well, of the two claims, it seems that the demand for the new iPhone 3G S seems sensible enough to believe. Apple under-producing the iPhone? Highly unlikely. Besides, if there was a conservative number of iPhones produced this time around, you really cannot blame them. With the hard times upon us, Apple is making sure that they are making the right numbers as far as production is concerned. Also, doesn’t that sound like a great marketing gimmick? Running out of stocks due to demand?
