Apple stores will sell up to 2 per person

- Start date
yes, me too... But how many other will buy the other jsut to sell it off? That will hurt the peeps in line waiting just for one. 
Bingo! That's an excellent indication that Apple stores will have a big fat supply of phones.
I had intended to go an AT&T store now I'm going to switch to an Apple store because I need to get a phone for my wife too.
Anyone want to start estimating how many phones each store will get based on this new information?
You also should consider Apple has 164 US stores, ATT has 1800...I am sure the allocations will be similar (50-50, 55-45) just with att stores individual stores will receive supplies based on location.
If Apple is ampley stocked on iPhones, people surely wont want to buy them on eBay. It will be probably be more expensive for the person to do so because the seller will not want to make a personal loss. No one over seas with the right mind would buy one, because a) it wouldn't work, b) by the time it is released in Europe and Asia it will *fingers crossed* hopefully be 3G ready, so an Edge equipt phone would be worthless- AT&T don't even have a UK presense to my knowledge so Edge wouldn't exist? =/ Meh, who knows
Math time...
It has been around the each AT$T store would get 40 phones.
So 40 x 1800 = 72,000. If there are 3 million units at launch then that leaves 2,928,000 for the Apple Stores. 2,928,000/146 = 20,054 per Apple Store. If they hold back half for online that leaves 10027 per store.
So if you get to the Apple store and there are 10,000 people in line, you may still get one.

I thought the very same thing. Now inventories will deplete even faster at Apple stores. Glad that AT&T didn't adopt this policy.
i like you greg haha because of the numbers in your name and because you just eliminated any doubt i had about getting one tomorrow
Hope you're right. Here in northern colorado there is only one ATT store. Nearest Apple stores are in Denver. I'm planning to go ATT, but having just one iPhone seller in the area has me somewhat concerned.40per att isn't true. that figure was the 1st # released about a month ago
they've released that on average 100-250 per att store with small town att stores having a minimum of 50
Hmm, not sure what to do. I may go to an AT&T store now. I'm thinking there will be less people in line there if they are only allowed to purchase 1.
It looks like Apple has it set up to where you can check the iPhone availability at each Apple store after 9:00 pm the night before. http://www.apple.com/retail/iPhone/

While EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) is primarily North American it is deployed worldwide by other carriers. Rogers uses it in Canada for example. That does NOT mean that iPhone will work as is on other networks though.
