iPhone Waiting Lists Grow; Manufacturing Glitch Slows iPhone Production.
- Thread starter Lob
- Start date
I put my name on a waiting list of sorts.
The only employee in the store (not a manager, so I think he was lying about being alone) said it was more of a way to approximate how many iPhones they will need than a waiting list.
But all I know, is my name is on that list.... Or at least some sheet of paper that he will hand to his manager... pls.....

I was under the impression that the iPhone would only be available from corporately owned AT&T stores, Apple stores and online. Have you heard something that indicates that independently owned AT&T stores will have it too?
I don't have my name on any list, but if come launch day, If I'm forced to get one at one of these Att stores and their is a "list" already, their will be hell to pay.
These waiting lists are simply lists of names that AT&T store employees will call on release day to let you know that the iPhone has arrived, not a formal preorder list. With so many rumors flying around, I think AT&T store employees probably know as much as we do, maybe even less.
That's what I thought, too.
And if we're assuming that Steve Jobs announces the release date @ WWDC, won't these lists become obsolete?
i mean, by the time the memo from AT&T gets distributed to each store and they sit down and call all these people to tell them the release date, us fanatics will already have known about it.
That article reeks of BS to me, especially these sentences:
Second, Apple has never officially confirmed June 15 to be any official date.
Third, isn't 12 million units what Apple wants to sell for the entire year? They expect all 12 million to be available by the release date? That's not going to happen, nor would it be practical.
Finally, they need to stumble across spell check before these dudes go to print.
First, they don't cite their sources... which seems very suspicious. Do they want to pull another Engadget here? "Stumbling across" doesn't really cut it in my book as decent journalism.

Yeah, Apple has been saying late June for a while now. Ever sense the announcement that Leopard was delayed. So that would mean that any date later than June 15th could be the release date.
