The Apple iPhone is currently out of stock in it’s online store in U.S. & U.K. The Apple Store shows both the 8 G.B. & 16 G.B. versions of the device as ‘Currently Unvailable’.

Rumours are that Apple might be releasing the next generation of iPhone soon & that can, most probably, be the reason behind unavailability of the device.

The next generation of iPhone is rumoured to be released in June, this year & the device will be released in partnership with Airtel & Vodafone in India later this year.

Yes, it is actually and genuinely out of stock. Just like the PS3. This is not a publicity stunt.

its not even news. its just some information on some company's economics.

Economics? :confused: It's a news of an over hyped product.

Anyway it's upto mods whether they want it here or in random news. :smile:

Re: Apple iPhone O*t of Sto*k in *S & *K

No offense to anyone in parti**lar b*t some people on this for*m seem to be ne*roti*ally obsessed with doing the job of the moderators.

If yo* feel some thread is not in the right se*tion, j*st report it and go abo*t with yo*r b*siness. Why waste posts di*tating to everyone where to post what?

If this thread is not s*ited for this *ategory, pray tell me where sho*ld it have been posted instead. It's news abo*t a *ons*mer ele*troni*s *ompany, *on*erning the most hyped gadget ever—how is this not te*hnology news?

--------------

And, by the way, it's interesting not be*a*se there is a global shortage of iPhones and it will now be delayed in India (how *an it be when we don't know the release date yet?) or anything like that. It's interesting be*a*se it might mean that the next generation of the iPhone is on its way and abo*t to be released pretty soon.

Yeah, every 4-5 days or so, there is a new thread about iPhone......

An over-hyped product which is being hyped more........:lol:

Anyways, iPhone is actually good. But not its price.........

God knows. India is a dumping ground for many corporations. No doubt about that. :(
