Apple iPhone sales restricted: AT&T say one per customer

Remember the good old days when you could purchase as many Apple iPhone handsets as you liked, well you are no longer able to do this as AT&T are now restricting sales to one handset per customer, and customers who wish to purchase one are only allowed to do so by using a credit card. This news has come to light after rumors are spreading that there are worldwide shortages of the iPhone, staff who work at Apple retails stores in the U.S. have said that they do not have any idea when they will be receiving new shipments of the Apple iPhone.

This shortage of the handset is not just restricted to the U.S. there are reports that O2 and Carphone Warehouse in the UK are also out of stock. Many people have started to speculate that there is not in fact a shortage of the Apple iPhone, instead they are just trying to get rid of the last of their old stock so that they can re-stock with the newer version of their handset, which many believe to be the 3G version. Apple has commented that the reason for the shortfall in handsets is because the demand of the iPhone is greater than they expected.

It is expected that we will learn more at Apple’s sold out Worldwide Developers Conference, which will be held on June 6, but come on we all know what Apple are going to say, we have to wonder if we will have to pay more for the 3G version of the Apple iPhone and how much the new handset will be.
