I guess I'm being so emotional about it because I'm still mad at the absolute failure of the 3Gs launch in Canada, how I couldn't get one for over six months despite phoning my carrier almost daily, and especially because no one in the media even reported the story (seeing how the USA had stock and that's all anyone cares about it seems).
So yeah, take my prediction with a grain or two of salt cause I'm obviously basing it more on the past failure than the facts. The fact remains however that Apple is having a horrendous time keeping up with supply during their transition from tiny also-ran US computer company to world-dominating retail behemoth.

I'd have to point out that your having to wait 6months for a phone doesn't make the phone a failure - Apple not being able to meet demand isn't great for a consumer waiting in line, but must make for a very healthy profit and appearance of success on Apple's part.
I've been reading constantly about Apple's 'problems' - every 27" iMac being faulty etc, etc, but I've yet to meet a real world user who has experienced an issue. It seems people just like to pick fault, a bit like the child labour report - commissioned and publicly distributed by Apple themselves - being taken out of context and used against them, when the report is nothing but a good thing and shows that Apple are being open, and trying to rectify the issue.
It just seems that people like to knock a success story, either out of jealousy, ignorance or simply the fact it's easier to criticise than to see the good points once in a while.
Loving my 27" iMacs.
