iPhones out of stock "companywide"
« on: May 13, 2008, 02:31:22 AM »
Hope this is just temporary. The new one isn't supposed to be introduced for a month and the loss of that many sales could really hurt.

Could also be due to slow 'pipeline.' They are making agreements everyday with tele-companies around the world, sometimes more than one in an area. It is also possible that they simply sold faster than they thought they would. dntknw.gif And they could even bring out the new 3G models before WWDC. Who knows (besides Steve)? smile.gif

Or, a bunch of customers are showing up with debit or credit cards. wink2.gif

Always.  smile.gif

It has recouped nearly all it lost early this winter but missing that many weeks of sales could be just the excuse for pundits to knock the stock down.  Let's hope it is a temporary pipeline problem or Steve makes an early announcement.
