Launch day iPhone 7 Plus, jet black iPhone 7 allotment sold out, Apple says
You said it so much better than I. Thanks!williamlondon said:
Okay, how many? How many more million? Store them where? How much more time devoted to production and security of storage, should they start building iPhone 8s right now so they have enough for next year's model? How much money do you expect to pay for this, because the cost has to be embedded in the phone for storage, extra security to protect these filled warehouses which store *unsold* product worth potentially billions of dollars. What is the exact formula, other than simply, "more." The costs, the supply chain constraints, the security, the money spent in the stock that just sits there, the lead time to manufacture millions of phones, perhaps the problem is all the impatient people who day one "MUST HAVE TODAY!" attitudes that should be managed, eh?!birko said:
Is it impressive or a marketing stunt. They sell out year after year. Why don't they just make millions more before launch - what doesn't sell will sell pre-christmas.muadibe said:Sold out globally. Impressive.

I've entertained the idea of a marketing stunt, but logically, that makes no sense. First Apple doesn't want to turn away any sale at any time, even for marketing purposes. But the most important reason is that Apple, or any manufacturer for that matter, can only make but so many phones per day. If I'm not mistaken, they only ramp up production in July. It's not as though they can start manufacturing a year in advance.birko said:

iPhone 7 preorders at T-Mobile 4X greater than iPhone 6 launch, matte black most popular color
Like you I take good care of my phone. Ironically, this may be the first iPhone I use without a case. Hearing the jet black was the opposite of slippery sealed it for me.![[Deleted User]](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=fe92f6a37ebd6ceda124ba99418f67b1&size=50&default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2Ffe92f6a37ebd6ceda124ba99418f67b1.png)
