We’ve been hearing about iPhone shortages for a while now, including dwindling supplies in the U.K. at both O2 and Carphone Warehouse, as well as limited stock at certain physical Apple retail locations here in the U.S. Well, that shortage apparently spread to Apple’s U.S. and U.K. online stores over the weekend. As of Sunday, both online stores list the 8- and 16-GB versions of the device as “currently unavailable.” A quick check of the Apple’s refurbished store reveals there are no iPhones for sale there either. Could this mean the 3-G version of the phone will see a sooner than expected release date, or is Apple simply trying to minimize the inevitable bitchfest that will come from those still planning to purchase first-gen iphone over the next few weeks? Weigh in with your thoughts below.
