Supplies of the new iPhone were generally plentiful on the first full day of sales, with just 24 stores of 185 stores reporting that they are out-of-stock at the end of Saturday. Of those stores, 18 stores were located in California, Apple’s home state. The San Francisco Apple store had to turn away willing buyers of the new iPhone starting at about 7:45 p.m., when the last buyer purchased the remaining iPhone, wiping out an undisclosed number of iPhones delivered by Fed-Ex to the store on Friday afternoon. The Corte Madera store, one reporting no stock, had seven iPhones at 5 p.m., and sold four within one hour. Apple’s iPhone availability page is updated daily with stock reports submitted from the stores, and posted at 9 p.m. (PDT). Cnet reports that AT&T stores the surveyed were supplied with just 30 to 90 iPhones for first-day sales, and a spokesman said they were “virtually out” of iPhone stock by Saturday morning. Check the out-of-stock store list after the break.
The stores reporting no of iPhones at the end of business on Saturday are:
In California: Burlingame, Topanga, Corte Madera, Bay Street, Glendale Galleria, Irvine Spectrum Center, Beverly Center, Century City, Manhattan Village, Stanford, Palo Alto, Pasadena, Stonestown, SF, Valley Fair, Sherman Oaks, Simi Valley, Walnut Creek
In other states: The Falls (Fla.), Fashion Show (Las Vegas), The Pier (Atlantic City), The Domain (Austin), Willow Bend (Plano), Southlake Town Square (Tex.).
If anything can be gleaned from these locations, it’s upscale communities, big-spenders, and the tree states of California, Texas and Florida, which not coincidentally are the three states with the most Apple stores.
