Did Apple Manufacture a First-Day iPhone Shortage?

that he had more iPhones in stock but he could not start selling them until Saturday morning due to his contract with Apple! And those would be on a first come, first served basis. In other words, Apple had manufactured a sell out of iPhones for the first day so as to generate “every store sold out of iPhones” [hype].
Disagree - To give a specific number of phones to AT&T and have them contract for a certain number to be released on certain days allows Apple to predict future orders and maintain knowledge of present and future inventory.

Let's see...Wednesday, Cramer had a sell on Apple. Now it's o.k...Apple isn't for the feint of heart. It's a hold 'forever.' Imagine the price in 20 years!
