Apple UK has just announced they have sold out of the iPhone 4 that was launched today. I just called my local store in Regents Street, London, W1 and was told ‘Hi Joanne, we do not have any stock available for sale or reservation currently’. They do not have enough to go round, even for the people currently in the queue. It’s the same case with the Brent Cross store in London too.
I was told that they will be opening a priority list and for the people in the queue right now who will not get an iPhone 4 today, their names will be added to this list and when new stock comes in, which we have also heard will not be until next week at the earliest, then they should hopefully receive their new iPhone 4. Sorry, it’s not good news if you’re in the queue right now.
