iPhone is 'unavailable' in UK and US Apple stores; 3G release
imminent?
by Christina Warren (RSS feed) on May 10th 2008 at 2:00PM

As many of our intrepid readers have pointed out, iPhones are unavailable at the online Apple Store in both the US and
the UK. As we mentioned earlier in the week, cell carrier and Apple retail stores on both continents are reportedly
facing shortages as well.
With all the buzz surrounding the 3G model, the international rollout and the SDK, this is just one more sign that the

release of a new device is right around the corner.
While I'm obviously not privy to any official dates (or even unofficial speculation), my past experiences in the cell phone
retail world lead me to believe that an early June release seems very, very probable.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

I've heard from a couple of people that work in Apple Stores that they haven't replenished stock in iPhones for a couple
of weeks....
Glad I got my tax rebate check this week!

My personal guess (though I'd love to see it right now!):
1) special press event on Apple Campus before WWDC to announce 3G iPhone.
2) WWDC: doesn't have to be devoted to iPhone announcement, but it allows Apple to use the conference to give
developers more news on the new iPhone prior to release
3) Release in the 2nd half of June, to coincide with the AT&T employee vacation memo

Seems like June is a long time away, and the AT&T vacation memo appears to clearly outline late June as a release
date. So I'm guessing this could be an unrelated supply issue. Not good for helping towards that 10M goal!

this memo (saying theyre currently unavailable) up maybe.. a week at the earliest before the thing comes out. were are
talking almost a month and a half before the no vacation allowed slot time. do you really think theyd go that long without
selling an iphone? even tho the 2nd gen one is comming out people are still buying the 1st gen ones. they would lose a
whole lotta money waiting another month and a half without selling them.
the only reason i see that we would still have to wait another month is becasue this is an accident. by that i mean jobs
probably said a month ago "were only going to (x number of iphones) and then stop cause this will last us till late june"
then they were selling them more than they thought and ran out erly. i would think (or hope) they would also give a price
reduction before the new iphone. for if i am rite (and i REALLY hope i am) and they start selling 2nd gen iphones next
week the 3g (hopefully 32gb) iphone could soar into the 6-700's range! you could buy a laptop with that!
does anyone agree?

I'm inclined to think the supply thing was a miscalculation, too. It's a shame for Apple because this is a good time of year
with Mother's Day, graduation, and maybe even Father's Day in between now and the release date. I don't know how
possible it would be for them to speed up the release if that was the case.
Here's a question to devs: is the beta 2.0 software and SDK in any condition to be released? I kind of think they'll have
to do both at once.

I think that its more believable that aliens abducted all the iphones or all the iphones got jacked like a few months ago.
Im not anticipating the release until at least WWDC. But I think its more like an '09 release.

We still haven't seen it go through the FCC. AFAIK there is no way around that, and once it hits the FCC it's still a
month or two off.

They can actually "cloak" some of their FCC filings so that they don't show up in public records until after or on launch
day. I think we'll see them in June -- early or late, who knows -- but just because we don't have access to the FCC
filings doesn't mean they haven't already been filed.

Prediction: No 3G phone in June, but maybe an announcement of when it will be out. The shortage is just that, a
shortage. With the new apps finally being released with iPhone firmware 2.0 there will be more than enough new "toys"
to play with and talk about while we wait for the final arrival of the 3G phone. Cramming in all in at WWDC would be a
waste of good hype potential and there is "no rush" for a 3G phone when iPhone 1.0 is still seeling like hot cakes.
Just one opinion. YMMV. ;-)

For what it's worth, I confirmed with a guy last night at the AT&T store that they are going to release the 3G in mid-tolate June. No word on the pricing yet, but he did say the rumor has it at 200$.

basscadet said 4:41PM on 5-10-2008
iphone at 200$ is so far from reality (unless they're talking about v.1 stock) that it hurts. After v.2 is announced no one
will buy a v.1 waiting either to buy v.2 or v.1 with a substancial price cut (many used ones will also flood the market).
All this is forcing Apple into a very tight time space between announcement and release, so we'll hear about it maybe 12 weeks before it's released, if not on the same day...

Maybe I'm just dreaming out loud. But Apple has had supply shortages before. They never listed a product as
"unavailable".
Also it would be economically completely irresponsible to have a product unavailable for over a month.
I'm thinking tuesday might be it.

Just put my iPhone on craigslist... if that offers any inclination as to what this situation is making me think. ;)
When the 3G iphone is released, 2.5G iphones will not be worth much. I'm jumping ship to maximize my ability to buy a
3G phone without dipping into my pockets at all. I'm shooting for selling mine for some even trade money.

Except it will likely take month(s) for the hackers to unlock the 3G iPhone. In the meantime, there will still be demand
for those wanting an iPhone and not on an "approved" carrier and also not willing to wait for the 3G unlock.

SuperPac said 7:54PM on 5-10-2008
The timing on this really doesn't make much sense. 1) People are getting their stimulus checks right around now and
have the $$$ to spend. 2) With graduation and Father's Day upon us they have two potential holidays they will have lost
for iPhone sales. 3) They've never before let products go "unavailable" like this, even more expensive laptops or other
hardware.
I just don't see how they could go a whole month without selling another single iPhone. Seems like a lot of potentially
lost ground there.
The argument that they're doing it to prevent people from returning "outdated" iPhones doesn't make sense
either...they've never stopped selling outdated, about-to-be-obsolete iPods just because the next day they're gonna
introduce a new one--IMO there will definitely be a market even for the used 2.5G iPhones after the 3G phone comes
out 'cuz let's face it sometimes people don't need the absolute top of the line in speed or storage space. If a 2.5G phone
were cheaper I'm sure there'd be plenty of people who would buy, just like there are plenty of people that buy Shuffles
and Nanos when there are larger iPods out there.

Tip of the Day
The home button on your iPhone is a multitasker: although a single press takes you home and a press-and-hold activates
Voice Control, be sure to try double and triple-presses. Double-pressing gives you the iOS multitasking bar (swipe to
the left to see older apps, to the right to see iPod controls); triple-pressing triggers the accessibility action configured in
Settings (VoiceOver, Zoom or White-on-Black display).
