iPhone 5 Launches in 22 Countries and a Number of Rural Carriers Friday

Every phone they make at this point is accounted for. I can't help but think they are way behind.

Great launching in 22 more places when they don't even have stock in the US

I guess some of us have another point of view:
90% of stock is given to the US and here the iPhone starts on launch day with 3-4 weeks to ship....
 
Was one of the first to pre-order in Switzerland (aka "during the first 30 mins of the pre-order opening")... ...145k people did before me so not sure I'll get one tomorrow :D

Why should every US order be completed before it's rolled out to the other countries?

Because a commonly accepted definition of responsibility is to complete one commitment before taking on another? Because the people that have ordered, and have ALREADY PAID have fair expectation of having a product in hand before someone who hasn't?

Is that enough or do you need more?
 
Apple store Sweden

I called them yesterday and they confirmed that they are going to start the sale at midnight. Though he couldn't say how long we have to wait until shipping.:(

might sound stupid here but...

do the backsides of the iPhones in other countries have different info? maybe these were already in production prior and are then ready for other countries, not the US market.

The Ireland one's will have different wall plugs inside as well.

So people complaining that USA should get all their orders filled first, make no sense.

This is not news.

This information was given to us on the Wednesday the phone was announced.

I'm sure that Apple will have stocks prepared for the first batch of orders just like the US and then it will slip to 3-4 weeks like everyone else. No different.

If people wanted it badly enough they would have ordered as soon as they went on sale or went to an Apple store.
 
European markets have different models from the US

The European carriers are not using either the CDMA model used by Verizon or the AT&T/Canadian carrier models so they are from a separate production run and different radios.

There are two GSM models and one CDMA model IIRC with the CDMA model being primarily for the Verizon/Sprint market.

maybe because Apple is a US company.

o m g ...

u can keep ur cdma models btw, no one in the rest of the world uses this outdated thing and even the at&t ones are different so we dont "take anything from u" in the first place
