Reports out of the US suggest Apple iPhone 3G S buyers could be left disappointed when the smartphone launches on Friday. US Apple iPhone 3G S buyers could be left wanting as reports coming out of America are already pointing at a shortage of the new mobile phone for Friday's big launch.
According to Information Week, Apple will have no more units available for purchase when the iPhone 3G S officially goes on sale in America. Anyone who pre-ordered their iPhone from last weekend onwards looks likely to still be waiting for the handset to hit their doormat for up to two weeks. And the story doesn't get any better for those hoping to grab an iPhone on the day from the Apple store or AT&T network store. Again, according to Information Week, the network will have an 'uncertain' number of handsets to sell on the day.
It remains to be seen what the picture will be like in the UK, with no word from the retail partner Carphone Warehouse or network O2. The predecessor to the iPhone 3G S, the iPhone 3G, shipped over a million handsets in just three days but Apple has not yet released any figures on the pre-order sales of its latest smartphone offering.
