Man I totally dig ridiculous arguments.:D
My thoughts exactly. Here goes. It is NOT Sold out or OUT of Stock, after coordinating with the Deilivery companies the faster delivery trucks and planes are now fully accounted for and therefore the additional orders are being sent out on motorized bicycle messengers, reaching speeds up to 25m.p.h downhill, it can take them as little as one week or as long as two to arrive in your neighborhood( unfortunately pedaling is still required when going uphill, drastically cutting into the allotted time). Not a stock issue, a bicycle messenger issue is at fault here.
Disclaimer: Never did get to sleep last night, grain of salt, right.

Apparently someones got Macrumors on the payroll because they aren't publishing the bike messenger story and instead just posted this cover up nonsense about Apple selling out of stock.:D


Apple Sells Out of iPhone 4S Pre-Order Stocks for Launch Day in U.S.
Friday October 7, 2011 10:29 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
Following the lead of international pre-orders, new orders for the iPhone 4S made through Apple's U.S. online store are now listed with shipping estimates of 1-2 weeks, indicating that the door has closed on the opportunity for customers to pre-order the device through Apple for launch day delivery.
 
for "little Timmy's" sake let's make this issue a bit more simple.

You are very excited about the new Star Wars saga on bluray and you say to yourself.. "Hey, I'm gonna go to Wal-Mart at 12:01am to get this great movie pack"

Now you get to Wal-Mart and there is 5 people already in line and once they have gotten their copy of Star-Wars Saga and you come up to the register they tell you: "We're very sorry but we do not have anymore movies and cannot sell you another copy until 1 week from now"

Now, when you are on your way back home what would you think, Wal-Mart SUCKS and they didn't want to sell me a movie cause they are an evil company?
OR would you say to yourself, "Man, too bad Wal-Mart is SOLD-OUT! of Star-Wars and i have to wait a week to get it?

Is that clearer?
 
the Apple store will have plenty if you go 1st day

Yeah.. last year i was at in line for over 22 hours, the seller was very friendly and after creating a "friendship" for over 2 hours (had problems transferring 2 lines from t-mobile) he filled me in to a secret that they had almost 2,000 phones in stock.

There was about 300 people and the line was moving FAST! which means i could've come in on release day, around noon and probably wait 1 hour and get an iPhone 4, i enjoyed the experience nonetheless but won't be doing that again under a very hot hot sun in GA
 
I got mine.... Apple is NOT sold out of iphones completely, theyre just sold out online until they get more shipments in, im sure every apple store will have more than enough iphones to go around, they wouldnt stop making an item that sold out the first day bc its pure profit...
