Where, oh where, have my iPhones gone?

Weve been hearing about shortages of iPhones from UK provider O2 and reseller Carphone Warehouse, but up until this weekend, the Apple Stores seemed to still have them in stock. Unfortunately, now it seems that this iPhone famine has hit the online Apple Stores in both the US and the UK. Going to the store product pages for the iPhone in both countries now yields a ship date of Currently Unavailable, which—if we may quibble—is not really a date at all, now is it? Still, if even Apple doesnt have iPhones to sell, that seems to indicate either a rather big misestimate of channel inventory, or, if youre more of a conspiracy theorist, the imminent release of a new model. Were still a few weeks out from WWDC, though, and I find it hard to believe that Apples going to chug along for the next couple of weeks not selling iPhones, unless theyre just trying to build demand—which, to be honest, they dont really need. Then again, perhaps its just a sign of the imminent apocalypse. Dont say we didnt warn you. Copyright Mac Publishing LLC. This RSS feed is for personal non-commercial use only.
