Oh I thought that sending back iDented/iChiped/iScratched iPhones is the culprit of shortage.

This is nothing new,every year there is iphone "shortages",the new phone launches,sells out,is out of stock for a month,comes back in stock in limited numbers then is out of stock again for nearly another month and so on repeatedly. By the time ifans alot of ifans manage to get one the next one is only about 6 months away from launch and the apple 'next iphone is gonna have everything thecurrent failed to deliver" rumours are in full swing in order to get ifans drooling and frantically saving cash again. Its like some sort of a apple funfair ride that keeps ifans stuck in an endless cycle and never lets them off

At least iPhone 5's display is calibrated properly. That's my only complaint about Super AMOLEDs.

I figured it was because of all the FOXCONN Kung-Fu parties as of late...

Well. Why not make the Cover Glass(Gorrila or whatever) in-cell too? That will make it even more thinner. And expensive too.

This has happenned before, and will continue to happen in the future. I work for AT&T, processing preorders and orders-through-phone. This 6th gen iphone is by far the hardest thing that ever happenned to our lives (the agents). >.
