We are now on day 5 of the iPhone madness, and it appears that Apple is having some major issues keeping the thing in stock.

None of the AT&T stores in my area have received any new shipments since their initial batch, and I’ve been hearing similar reports from others. One even heard that Apple told them not to hold their breath waiting for a new box of iPhones and that in-store orders would take up to 3 weeks to ship.

Even the Apple stores themselves barely see any new shipments. Yesterday I was told the tale of someone who waited in line for 4 hours, only to be told they were out of phones (doesn’t anyone at Apple count the people in line and compare it with their inventory?).

The only stores that seem to be able to keep getting restocked are the flagship stores. They’d better fix this soon, or people are going to be mighty disappointed, especially if this turns into the new Nintendo Wii.
