“Apple has been having trouble keeping the entry-level white iPhone in stock since the new 3GS went on sale two and a half weeks ago. But as of Tuesday morning, it has all but disappeared,” Phillip Elmer-Dewitt reports for Fortune.
“The 16 GB model — apparently the most popular — is out of stock in the 30 of the 41 states in which Apple has stores, as well as in the District of Columbia,” Elmer-Dewitt reports. “It’s available in only one of California’s 45 Apple Stores, 1 of 9 in Massachusetts, 1 of 7 in Illinois, 1 of 6 in Virginia and 1 of 3 New York City.”
Elmer-Dewitt reports, “It’s not clear whether demand for the white 16GB model is unusually high, or if Apple just isn’t making enough of them.”
