IPhone No Longer Available In UK And US

Wed, 14 May 2008

Mobile users are no longer able to buy the iPhone following an announcement by Apple that the handset is out of stock at the company’s online stores in both the UK and the US .

Over the weekend, Apple’s online stores in both the US and the UK listed the 8GB and 16GB models of the handset as "currently unavailable", following last week’s reports of stock shortages on both models from the Carphone Warehouse and O2 - the UK’s exclusive service provider for the iPhone .

The news has fuelled speculation that Apple could be close to launching its next-generation 3G model of the iPhone .

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs is widely expected to unveil first details of the much-hyped 3G iPhone during his keynote speech at the Worldwide Developers Conference next month.

The iPhone's first anniversary on 29 June is being touted by some industry experts as a possible date for the release of the much-hyped 3G version.

But despite the enormous hype surrounding both models, recent price cuts have led to suggestions that iPhone sales are falling short of company expectations.

Last month Apple announced worldwide shipments of 1.7 million iPhones for the second quarter, bringing in just under £200m - a fraction of the company's overall revenues of £3.9bn.
