iPhone Shortage Across U.S.

No wonder the iphone is out of stock in the US .... with the current exchange rate it cost almost half the amount to our € price tags.

So yeah .... millions of iphones been spotted all over around the globe , a friend of mine just came back from HK and said almost every phone shop had plenty unlocked iphones on stock .

I wanna my iphone in SPAINNNNNNNNNNNNN

Saludos

Listen

As much as I hate to be the voice of reason...

Apple is intentionally hording their stash of iPhones in the U.S. becuase be making the iPhone avaliable in very limited quantities they create mass hysteria for the iPhone. Then when they make the product easy to get a hodl of again they will be bought up quickly. Then they will truly sell out and stock will truly be non-existant. That is when we will see the iPhone 3G.

Isn't a surprise 3g phone update impossible? Would a 3g iphone have to go before the FCC where apple can't keep it secret a few months before release?

Isn't that why the iphone originally was announced long before it was released (unlike most apple products?)
 
Even though they maybe running out of stock they will replenish it.... They replenish stock when customers are desperate and know will get sold out quickly.. But the next batch wont be 3G. I still dont know how they can launch a new product

a)in three months, when only 2 months or so back they dropped the iPod touch 32GB and iPhone 16GB.

b)Annoy people in Austria and Ireland who will be three months into their mighty expensive contracts and feel sad that a new product is launched and will not be able to buy it.

3)People are still on their first contract ever in all countries.. perhaps they will do this on a day when most users have finished their first iPhone contract.

4)Maybe they will make a 3G iPhone 32GB Yankie-edition and the rest of the world as USA finished their stock...

5)Maybe the stock in Ireland and Austria is very limited just to test waters before 3G..
 
so its possible iphone could have different release dates around world depending when each country finishes their stock?
 
stock wont affect? strange...

im just patiently waiting for to upgrade..
apple wouldnt allow a shortage of iphones to take place unless they were going to reduce new models, they need to sell every unit they can, and every unit sold has a possible chance of being activated with at&t and thats revenue apple neeeeeed
 
Meaning that your family can starve to death for you to buy a 3G iPhone
I would do the same....

Well, technically, affect can be either a verb or a noun (e.g. "The woman displayed mildly blunted affect"). ;)
Click to expand...

"Effect" can also be a verb.

The CEO effected change by creating an atmosphere of cooperation.

"Effect" as a verb means "to bring about" as opposed to "affect" which means "to make a difference in some way."

I'm sure you are all impressed by my Webster's quality definitions... not!
