Are we still in a recession? We were confused, because manufacturers like Apple and HTC can't seem to keep up with consumer demand. The iPhone 4 has had a wait-list like an A-list nightclub since it was released. Eager shoppers giving or receiving an iPhone for the holidays will be glad to know that Apple has finally caught up with demand.
The U.S. Apple Store now lists the shipping availability as "Within 24hrs." This is obviously good news for consumers and Santa's helpers alike. It is also good news for investors, eagerly awaiting their inevitable holiday success. Perhaps the only thing holding back Apple's rocketing sales has been their insufficient production.
Apple reported 14.1 million iPhone sales in Q4 of 2010. That figure is twice the number of the same period last year. In a recent investor meeting, Apple told their investors that they could have done even better...if they had the supply to meet the demand. Well, nothing's holding them back now. We can't help but wonder why we didn't invest in Apple a long, long time ago.
