iPhone is out of stock across Apple. There’s also limited availability in the UK where only the 16GB model is intermittently available from O2 - and this isn’t an inventory problem, but deliberate execution.
I’m not saying I know this for sure, but it makes sense that with a new model iPhone on the way, Apple is clearing its supply chain to make way for the device. But its a deeper strategy. I suspect (personal opinion, speculation, alert) Apple management have deliberately decided to make the device more or less unavailable in the weeks preceeding the release of the new model.
This makes sense for two reasons:
First, Apple is stimulating demand for the new device when it ships by making it hard to get hold of the current edition. That move should help ensure “stellar sales” of iPh
