Apple Upgrade Program participants complain of no stock, scheduling problems

Got on soon as preorders started with zero issues, clicked my store, choice of phone, and all models except 32 gig rose gold were out of stock. People wouldn't enroll in the apple upgrade program if they didn't want the newest one every year.
apple should send out first dibs emails of launch day stock before they give them to retailers and carriers and allow current upgrade program members to either agree to upgrade on launch day or not. Then what's left should go out everywhere else. Now I likely won't see an iPhone til December unless I stalk my local Apple Store and get there at the right time to get lucky when one comes in
Being on the Apple upgrade plan does not give you special benefits. In fact Apple makes LESS PROFIT on upgrade customers.
You are getting AppleCare at a discounted rate AND no interest loan for 24 months.
The real SPECIAL customers are the carriers who buy HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PHONES and other customers who pay the full price UP FRONT.
You are bumming your way to a 24 month interest free loan with discounting AppleCare. You don't deserve to have the same dibs to the new phones as cash buyers. Sorry.
Next time you should throw down $1000 upfront and not worry about being reliant on the financing of some bank.
The truth is the upgrade program is for poor people who can't afford to throw down $1000 upfront. -
