Bad news for would-be eBay profiteers, good news for those looking to join the iPhone revolution!
A check of Apple’s online iPhone availability tool shows iPhone units are being restocked after all Apple Stores ran out of stock yesterday.
Currently, there is a mix of red and green dots (indicators of iPhone availability), but red dots are turning green rapidly this morning.
Check iPhone availbility at the Apple Retail Stores here.
Let the selling out continue again.
An Apple Store employee in Cambridge, Mass. told me yesterday there are getting new shipments of iPhones in every single morning. Maybe not huge shipments, but consistent.
good, everyone who buys anything hoping to create artificial scarcity just so they can screw people deserves to get screwed by it. i hope they have to sell at a loss…..
Finally got to play with an iPhone yesterday. It is a sweet device. The weakest point, though, is the camera. I want a better camera on the iPhone! Maybe gen2…
MDN, either the whole world is looking at you, or you have the slowest servers on the net. Are they Dell servers?

The reason for the camera quality is the fact that the storage is so limited, more megapixels will eat up more space. Apple compromised and we suffer _ Nokia’s N-95 does amazing images with is Zeiss 5MP camera but you have the space to store them, it also does very nice quality movies – I am not suggesting it is a better machine, just quoting specs – BTW Nokia now includes skype as of today’s OS update
same here, very very slow, i was worried about my modem ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
ron,
at last I can agree with you on something.
I know no site which is so excruciatingly slow as this one!
I echo my sentiments from others about the server speed here. It takes forever, even on broadband. Makes me wonder, with the iPhone happening, I bet a lot of people are checking this place out.
Road Warrior, the original, but not the only Road Warrior here. So stay tuned for more iPhone stuff. After you have recuperated from the grand and safe Independance day.
It’s 7am, Friday and still solid red in California, which has 36 stores. 🙁
What is your secret for making your web pages render the way they do: the advertisements pop up instantly and then after a loooong interval, the content reluctantly appears?
(Not my connection. All other sites load instantly)
Yup – MDN seems to have been slow really since WWDC. Either too much load or they’ve changed something with their servers.
Ditto Mike – all CA Apple Stores have no iPhones according to Apple. Of course, they may not have updated the page yet.
I would imagine Apple want to have the stores fully stocked for the weekend.
I’ve also noticed the MDN server being a little slow lately on my computer and also on my iPhone.
I cliced on the RSS link and it speeds along quite nicely… on the iPhone too. So it must be slow advertising graphics loading.
macdailynews.com is running Linux on Red Hat Apache: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=macdailynews.com and the same netblock is running other Apple fan sites as well: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/hosted?netname=IPHOUSE-GIPPY-1,216.243.170.0,216.243.170.255
In addition to the slowness of the site, I also get pop-under ads that get through either Firefox or Safari’s blocking. I know this site has to generate revenue, but damn….
That page has changed for me… it says check back after 9pm. So I can’t see if my local stores have any in stock at all?
Whassup?
Instead of MDN first, it’s going to be
http://www.tuaw.com/
for me until MDN changes and puts the info out, before/at the same time, as the ads.
Qwest has slower servers, but MDN is not to far behind. With all of the damed pop up advertising you would think MDN could afford faster servers.

Megapixels have nothing to do with picture quality. There was a time when digital cameras produced great looking pictures at 2 megapixels or even 1 megapixels. Lens and CCD quality, the ability to change the focus, having a flash light, etc. contribute to the picture quality. That said, iPhone camera is not that bad. Anyone wanting high quality pictures should get a stand alone camera.
Somebody must have taken their foot off the cable. It’s much faster now. Thanks MDN.
This is the most annoying thing Apple has ever done. Why can’t they post availability from the day before. You have to check after 9PM? Then what, they take it down after midnight. So stupid and unApple like
Apple and Cingular need to allow business accounts to buy and activate the iPhone via existing accounts!! We want to buy 5 but are stuck!! And no we are not going to buy them as individuals and expense them.
MDN is running SLOW and not loading pages!
Still no iphones in California
MDN is running fast for me…. no problems…
