iPhone shortage hits NYC

Picked up four iphone's(3 for friends and one for me) at the Chicago store on wednesday. When i went there where no 8gb and i guess since they sold out of the 16gb. I know that a new one is coming soon and if the black glossy plastic rumors are true I'm glad i picked up the gen 1 phone.

Also i picked up a MBA (My first mac!)

Apple needs to begin selling the new iPhones ASAP. I bought my 16 GB iPhone in February the week after they went on sale. No regrets whatsoever.

i sold my 8gb iphone yesterday for $300. BRING ON THE NEW IPHONES!!

The iPhone's been in a shortage in the States since March 20th. At least in most Apple stores, and the online store has had a 5-7 day wait for shipping since then. Ordering from the AT&T web site has been smooth though. I ordered one on April 16th for a friend that isn't interested in 3G since she has no coverage in her area and she wanted the current gen. It shipped the next day.

OLD news. All NYC have been sold out for at least 2 weeks.

As of Yesterday No iPhones here in Chicago either.

Bridgewater, NJ Apple Store is sold out of all their iPhones.

Did Apple goof by stopping production of the 1st-gen iPhones too early, or could this mean the new one is actually closer than commonly believed? Though I guess if the AT&T memo really says June 15, that pretty much locks it down to the late-June timeframe.

I guess the one good thing about running out of iPhones early is that people won't be able to return them within the 14-day window when the new one comes out. Maybe they plan to announce it a little earlier (WWDC?) and let the anticipation build for a few weeks while there are no iPhones for sale anywhere.

Apple picked a bad time to run low on iPhones. Mother's Day, high school and college graduations all fall in May.
