In less than 10 days since its problem-plagued launch, Apple has sold out of stock of iPhones in all of its stores except three, including every state except New York, California, and New Hampshire. Apple notes that on Monday none of its 137 locations in the US will have stock of the 8GB iPhone and that the only location to have the 16GB black iPhone will be its retail store in Pleasanton, California
Canadian Rogers Wireless and Fido outlets are also said to be facing similar shortages of the iPhone 3g similar to those found in the US. Calls to local Rogers and Fido stores in the Vancouver area found that all stores “expected more units soon and to keep checking back”.
One MacSupport reader notes that he was able to order a 16GB iPhone from Fido and will have received the shipment of his iPhone within 1 week.
