Apple Restocks Stores With iPhone 3G
Written by admin on July 24th, 2008 in gadgets.
A few days after stores were tapped dry of iPhone 3Gs across the nation, Apple replenished its supply of the popular handset. Currently about 80 percent of Apple’s stores have iPhone 3Gs up for grabs.
The vast popularity of the handset has inspired programmers to create an array of internet tools just to track the device down. Of those tools, Chris Barnes’ iPhone 3G Store Availability tool is the most comprehensive, offering an aggregated list of available iPhones, broken down by model, in every store. Barnes’ site, which refreshes every 15 minutes, shows 152 out of 185 stores are carrying at least one model of iPhone 3G (as of this writing).
Before you dash to the nearest Apple Store, keep in mind that a large number of iPhone 3G users have complained about 3-G network issues in addition to bugs in iphone’s latest firmware release. Be careful what you wish for.
