Retail iPhone 11 inventory dries up in NYC as coronavirus hits supply
New York City retailers report Apple iPhone 11 inventory dropping to zero due to the coronavirus constraining the supply chain.
The coronavirus can be identified with its halo like ring
As the COVID-19 strain of coronavirus continues to spread across the globe, more evidence of its effects on global supply chains are appearing. With most of China still in quarantine and Foxconn factories still operating at sub 100% numbers, the technology industry is grinding to a halt.
It has been reported by the New York Post that New York City retailers are running out of iPhone 11 stock and new shipments of phones don't include the latest iPhone at all.
"We got a shipment and it didn't have any iPhones in it," said a Verizon store employee, "just flip phones and Samsungs."
Other retailers contacted on the matter all state that shipments are a couple of weeks out with no real ETA. Some employees contradicted this, however, stating that the phones were being kept in stock in local warehouses to control limited supply during the period.
The coronavirus cases versus deaths as of March 6th
The effects of a global supply chain shortage will continue to impact day to day sales of the iPhone 11 and will likely impact the production of new models expected this fall, like the "iPhone 12."
Tim Cook has been public about the concerns surrounding coronavirus and is confident in Apple's ability to navigate around such constraints. The virus has begun affecting the US in the past week, creating mass cancellations of annual conferences, including ones by major companies like Amazon and Google. Apple has even pushed its employees in California to begin working from home as the threat of the virus continues.

The people who think Apple artificially constricts their supply will see if it actually works.
If anybody decides to go buy an Android phone or a flip phone instead, then go ahead, have fun, enjoy yourself and spend your money wisely.
Oh wait, those deaths are just from the regular flu, which happens every single year.
Tens of thousands dead each year just in the US and the media doesnt make a panic about that. Many people dont even bother to get a flu shot, even though tens of thousands will die.
A few people die from the corona virus and its the end of the world, lol.
The mainstream media can kiss my ass. I am also taking advantage of dumb people and easily scared people by starting new positions in some stocks Ive had my eyes on for a while.
It can be. When your iPhone breaks or you loose it. People nowadays can't go a day without their iPhones.
There was a well-written terrifying Reddit post that scared even the media!

Even if somebody's phone were to break or get stolen tomorrow then I highly doubt that the average iPhone user would get an Android or some other phone if a brand new iPhone model that they wanted wasn't available. They would either get a different model iPhone that was available if they need a phone immediately or they would go to the used market and get one of the gazillion iPhones that are sold there all of the time.
What a bunch of tinfoil hat garbage.
The internet is full of crackpots and social media/the mainstream media in general has devolved into a hyperbolic, click baiting bunch of dirty whores who couldn't care less about if something is factual or truthful or accurate.
Any publicity seeking moron, troll or hoaxer could have written that post and it's not like there aren't any of those types on the internet.
There are a lot of opinions and speculation floating about, but we'll see where we are some months from now. I like to deal in facts and not opinions or speculation or estimates.

COVID-19: Approximately 3,491 deaths reported worldwide; 14 deaths in the U.S., as of Mar. 7, 2020.
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.
The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, people do not have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away. Doctors and scientists are working on estimating the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be higher than that of most strains of the flu.
Not great odds....
I thought it was well written. A lot of people (on social media) spread it as fact though.....
Either way, I do not believe it. I would have to see proof, which will never be made available of course, as that is par for the course for all those sorts of hoaxes and conspiracy theories.
As for the camera, I agree that it is no comparison compared to the iPhone 11 Pro camera.
I'm confused by your last sentence, did you get the Midnight Green 256 or a different color?
I haven't seen it in person yet, but Midnight Green is probably my favorite of the iPhone 11 colors too.
