Following in AT&T's footsteps, Apple has sold out of the initial allotment of iPhone 4s for launch day. The Apple online store now lists July 2nd as the earliest ship date that you can receive an iPhone 4.

Stores may still have stock on launch day for walk-in traffic, but it seems the allotment for pre-orders has been filled. The iPhone 4 will launch on June 24th, 2010.

Default Re: iphone 4 just announced.

can't wait to get one the video on the apple site for the new phone is great. It will be my first smart phone, and what an upgrade it will be from a motorolla l7! lol - only problem is, monthly plans here in canada are rape for iphones, and it will probably be 70 - 80 a month + tax or more. I think the unlimited one is 100

"Walking in"??? You make it sound so easy, David.

I think you meant to say, "Looks like I will be taking a personal day and standing in queue for several hours with the remote hope that I'll actually be able to get one on the 24th."

That said, good luck to you, bro.

Taking a personal day....that's funny.

If you plan to do this at the apple store, if they do it anything like the iPad they let 4 "preorder" customers and 1 non-preorder customer (which if you ask me was BS since me and all the other people in the pre-order line took the time to do so)

No Apple store around here. Would have gone to the ATT store.

Just ended up ordering from Apple. Looks like I will just wait it out until the 2nd

I am really re-thinking the whole thing of going to the store on the 24th.
That is going to be hell.
May show up to see how the line is and then leave and just order it by maiil and when I get it, I get it.

That's dedication there. I've seen you give more effort to a Punch Churchill.

I was thinking the same thing.

Then again I may wait. Knowing Apple, they will come out with something new like a iPhone 4s in a few months anyways

I was able to get our two ordered around 5:30 pm yesterday through apple's website. Got the email confirmations late last night. So I'm cautiously optimistic we may actually have these things delivered on launch day. *fingers crossed*

Wow!
Amongst the lucky few James.
By the time I returned to my hotel last night, 7/2 was the earliest for shipping, not for receiving.
I figure I will have to do an early wait in line on 6/24 for when the store opens at 7 a.m.
Pack a lunch and some cocktails while I at it.

The iPad line started around 3AM around here. I got there at 10AM and was about 2 blocks from the store in line.

You have got to be kidding me!!!
No way I will do that.
I can wait for it to be eventually dropped off at my door.
Screw that.

I ordered 2 this morning.
Won't be shipped until the 2nd. Arriving between the 6th and 8th.
I'd rather wait just over a week than fight with the people at the Apple store.
I'll be in Vegas during that wait time, so I won't even notice.
I do have one on reserve, but I was having issues reserving a second one, so I'll just cancel it.

Just took a different road, same as yours.
Heck with waiting in line all day on the 24th.
Mine ships on the 2nd as yours. I can wait until then and save the personal day and frustration.

What really made me do it is what I now read in Apple's site.
It had two options yesterday. One of them is now replaced to show you local Apple stores. Says you can just walk up and buy up to two while supplies last. Why the heck did some of us waste our time making a reservation, to wait in line, to perhaps lose out our phone to someone who just shows up and did nothing else?

Site:
Buy at your favorite Apple Retail Store.
Visit an Apple Retail Store starting at 7 a.m. on June 24 to buy iPhone 4 on a first-come, first-served basis. (Limit two per person.)
