“With a little over three weeks to go before Apple’s annual developers conference — the same forum used to introduce the iPhone 3G last year — AT&T is reportedly running out of current models and won’t be restocking,” Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider.
“‘I just got off the phone with AT&T regarding the death of my wife’s iPhone and the customer service rep informed me they are no longer selling new iPhone 3G,’ said one subscriber familiar with the situation. ‘They have refurbs for sale,'” Marsal reports.
“Asked why there were no more iPhone 3Gs available, the representative for the exclusive U.S. carrier told the subscriber… that he wasn’t privy to details,” Marsal reports. “The representative added, however, that he was told not to expect any additional stock of iPhone 3Gs.”
Marsal reminds, “Similar iPhone shortages cropped up last year in the weeks and months leading up to the introduction of the iPhone 3G.”
