iPhone 3G Supplies Begin to Run Dry Ahead of WWDC


Submitted by Dan; May 24, 2010
In addtion to iPhone 3GS price getting cut in half, iPhone 3G supplies start to run dry. Apple is expected to unveil a spanken brand new iPhone. According to Boy Genius Report, Apple has stopped supplying AT&T stores with the device, suggesting that the model is being phased out of production.
We've heard that Apple has stopped shipping iPhone 3G 8GB units to AT&T stores and orders are not being placed for the device. Could this mean we might see the iPhone 3GS drop to $99 and make way for a new model?

Also, in Australia, where Apple sells contract-free iPhones online at unsubsidized prices, the 8 GB iPhone is listed as "Currently Unavailable". Similarly, customers looking to order iPhone 3G models in the United Kingdom through carrier O2 also appear to be having a difficult time, with a drop-down menu on O2's iPhone ordering page showing only new and reconditioned iPhone 3GS options despite the menu's description noting an iPhone 3G option.

Apple's exact plans for the next line of iPhone models are not yet known, analyst Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley, has suggested that Apple may follow its existing pattern by introducing new hardware in multiple capacities while sliding the existing low-end iPhone 3GS down to the $99 price point currently occupied by the 8 GB iPhone 3G.
Stay tuned!
