Bad news for would-be eBay profiteers, good news for those looking to join the iPhone revolution!
A check of Apple’s online iPhone availability tool shows iPhone units are being restocked after all Apple Stores ran out of stock yesterday.
Currently, there is a mix of red and green dots (indicators of iPhone availability), but red dots are turning green rapidly this morning.
Check iPhone availbility at the Apple Retail Stores here.

An Apple Store employee in Cambridge, Mass. told me yesterday there are getting new shipments of iPhones in every single morning. Maybe not huge shipments, but consistent.
good, everyone who buys anything hoping to create artificial scarcity just so they can screw people deserves to get screwed by it. i hope they have to sell at a loss…..
Finally got to play with an iPhone yesterday. It is a sweet device. The weakest point, though, is the camera. I want a better camera on the iPhone! Maybe gen2…
MDN, either the whole world is looking at you, or you have the slowest servers on the net. Are they Dell servers?

The reason for the camera quality is the fact that the storage is so limited, more megapixels will eat up more space. Apple compromised and we suffer _ Nokia’s N-95 does amazing images with is Zeiss 5MP camera but you have the space to store them, it also does very nice quality movies – I am not suggesting it is a better machine, just quoting specs – BTW Nokia now includes skype as of today’s OS update
same here, very very slow, i was worried about my modem

ron,
at last I can agree with you on something.
I know no site which is so excruciatingly slow as this one!
I echo my sentiments from others about the server speed here. It takes forever, even on broadband. Makes me wonder, with the iPhone happening, I bet a lot of people are checking this place out.
Road Warrior, the original, but not the only Road Warrior here. So stay tuned for more iPhone stuff. After you have recuperated from the grand and safe Independance day.
It’s 7am, Friday and still solid red in California, which has 36 stores. 🙁
What is your secret for making your web pages render the way they do: the advertisements pop up instantly and then after a loooong interval, the content reluctantly appears?
(Not my connection. All other sites load instantly)
Yup – MDN seems to have been slow really since WWDC. Either too much load or they’ve changed something with their servers.
Ditto Mike – all CA Apple Stores have no iPhones according to Apple. Of course, they may not have updated the page yet.
I would imagine Apple want to have the stores fully stocked for the weekend.
I’ve also noticed the MDN server being a little slow lately on my computer and also on my iPhone.
I cliced on the RSS link and it speeds along quite nicely… on the iPhone too. So it must be slow advertising graphics loading.
macdailynews.com is running Linux on Red Hat Apache: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=macdailynews.com and the same netblock is running other Apple fan sites as well: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/hosted?netname=IPHOUSE-GIPPY-1,216.243.170.0,216.243.170.255
In addition to the slowness of the site, I also get pop-under ads that get through either Firefox or Safari’s blocking. I know this site has to generate revenue, but damn….
That page has changed for me… it says check back after 9pm. So I can’t see if my local stores have any in stock at all?
Whassup?
Instead of MDN first, it’s going to be
http://www.tuaw.com/
for me until MDN changes and puts the info out, before/at the same time, as the ads.
Qwest has slower servers, but MDN is not to far behind. With all of the damed pop up advertising you would think MDN could afford faster servers.

Megapixels have nothing to do with picture quality. There was a time when digital cameras produced great looking pictures at 2 megapixels or even 1 megapixels. Lens and CCD quality, the ability to change the focus, having a flash light, etc. contribute to the picture quality. That said, iPhone camera is not that bad. Anyone wanting high quality pictures should get a stand alone camera.
Somebody must have taken their foot off the cable. It’s much faster now. Thanks MDN.
This is the most annoying thing Apple has ever done. Why can’t they post availability from the day before. You have to check after 9PM? Then what, they take it down after midnight. So stupid and unApple like
Apple and Cingular need to allow business accounts to buy and activate the iPhone via existing accounts!! We want to buy 5 but are stuck!! And no we are not going to buy them as individuals and expense them.
MDN is running SLOW and not loading pages!
Still no iphones in California
MDN is running fast for me…. no problems…
In fact, the whole west coast is out, the closest available iphone to me is in Salt Lake City. Come on Apple, get the gerbils in the factory running at high speed!
“…the closest available iphone to me is in Salt Lake City.”
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. o.O
Apple online store now says “limited quantities available”. What does that mean?
C1…. you got that right. “I see dead people!”
My heart pumps piss for the greedy eBay scumbags who take advantage of market situations for personal gain at the expense of the rest of us. Why it isn’t illegal to do this is beyond me. If a corporation did this, they be fined and some would go to jail. eBayers who take advantage of people to make a buck will get theirs in the end. I hope they all rot in the poor farm on this one.
Call the Apple store. The web said no go last night but after seeing this story I called and they had them. I now am a happy owner of a 8GB iPhone.

It’s rather surprising, considering the advanced state of access for the disabled that the MacOS provides, that Apple didn’t stop to think that over 5% of the population can’t easily distinguish between the red and green dots.
Us red/green color-blind people comprise a larger “market share” than the Mac used to have! Can’t they use distinguishable shapes as well as the (to us) almost identical colors?
[/rant]
What have they sold so far? 1 million in a couple of days?
Wasn’t that the goal for the first year of the zune?
I ordered an iPhone on Monday at an ATT store and it arrived today! Can’t complain about that.
Auctioning items on ebay for a profit should be illegal!!! Damn those who willingly bid on items above cost. And those scheming sellers who put items up for auction that are in demand? Those poor buyers don’t have any control over themselves, bidding their money away. Using the same logic, shouldn’t Apple be arrested for selling the iphone at twice the manufacturing cost?
hey, just wanted to share with MDN readers a site that I created just before the iPhone launch…it’s a blog of mine, where I will look into the iPhone a little more closely and give you my opinion! check it…even if for the captured photos — something that really hasn’t been mentioned is the camera feature..it’s trully amazing…
check it!

“Come on Apple, get the gerbils in the factory running at high speed!”
Apple does not use gerbils in their factory. They use Chinese children.
So, let’s get a move on, kids! Don’t make me get the whip!
I think the camera itself is adequate. My only beef is that the software lacks any type of auto correction options. Without a flash, you really need a brightly lit room to take decent pictures.
Outraged,
You might as well arrest a whole bunch of other companies while your at it.
I’ll bet Apple’s “other” retailers are ticked off. They’ve been faithfully selling Macs and iPods for years, and they are missing out on the biggest Apple product EVER. Because activation is done on the owner’s computer through iTunes, there’s no reason Amazon, MacMall, MacConnection, and the rest could not sell iPhones. I wonder if it’s in the Apple/AT&T agreement that only AT&T and Apple can sell iPhone during the exclusivity period… Or if Apple will open it up to their current official resellers as soon as production levels meet ongoing demand.
Well I got to play on a friends iphone and it was heaven! It did everything the commercial said and Steve previewed. We had no problem getting on the web, the ipod section was absolutely awesome!!!!!!! Texting messages was fun–not tedious at all. I am hooked, I am getting one tomorrow when my ATT store opens! 8gig here i come! BTW 3g is overated–it only works really well if you are in the right spot and the right big city. We were on wifi and didn’t notice any slow down, google found the starbucks right away with map and directions–here’s sipping to iphone!
