Apple’s new 4-inch iPhone SE “4-inch iPhone SE continues to see demand outstrip Apple’s available supply, with most stores completely out of stock and new orders advertised not to ship for a few weeks,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider. “As of Wednesday, the fastest a new iPhone SE will arrive from Apple in the U.S. is next Tuesday, April 12, and that’s just select models. Many models are unavailable until April 20, and that’s with paying extra for expedited shipping.”
“Virtually all models with all carriers out of stock at Apple’s retail stores as well,” Hughes reports. “In general, the $399 16-gigabyte iPhone SE models seem to have greater availability than the $499 64-gigabyte versions. For example, a rose gold 16-gigabyte model is advertised to arrive April 12, but switching to the 64-gigabyte model delays arrival to April 20-27 depending on shipping method with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and SIM-free.”
“Demand is also exceeding supply internationally. For example, in Hong Kong, the earliest a new delivery is advertised to arrive is April 16,” Hughes reports. “Pundits have speculated that emerging markets like China, India and Brazil are key target markets for the budget-priced iPhone SE.”
