Sure sure, this definitely isn't some scheme so that the few iFans will rush to buy it to give the impression that it's good. No no, Apple would never stoop so low.

Nice excuses, good marketing tactic.

I love Apple, but don't get me wrong, I do take Apple's side when it is due, and don't take their side when the make a fool of me as someone who buys their iDevices. But this is lame. I think they are worried that iFans will not Q this time around, and to get them into those long Qs, tell them they are few iPhones available and they will rush to get their hands on their new shiny iPhones.

Only an iDiot will believe this gimmick. Oh my bad, i guess phonearean did believe it, My Bad

Has anyone ever noticed that Apple ALWAYS has a shortage of new iPhones when the next generation is released, but yet they somehow sold more than what they had on opening weekend?

Umm i bet they have werehouses full of them and as always are controlling everything end to end hence why i went with the s3 and i dont see any way possable that anything apple puts out can top it.

Maybe they would have better luck if they didn't sue their component suppliers?
