While the push back to November is annoying lol, I get its purpose and think it's likely the right decision. But if there is a need for delay due to supply constraints, and more time needed to actually produce the units, why would they rollout worldwide and not in the same countries they usually do first, with a staggered release to follow? That seems to completely contradict itself - more time needed because we can't manage the demand, but then just let billions all buy it at once? Lol.

The skeptic in me thinks they're trying to see if anyone actually buys the iP8 to see what sort of stock they'll need to produce for the X, hence the low number of units being produced currently.

Thoughts?
