It sounds as though iPhones across the pond in the United Kingdom are in short supply, despite Tim Cook’s recent comment in the Q2 financial conference call that Europe’s iPhone stock was largely in supply/demand balance. Carphone Warehouse, one of the major iPhone resellers in the country, is saying that it’s totally out of the 8GB model, thanks in large part to the recent £100 price cut.
An email sent out to advertising affiliates asked them to remove the promotion from their rotation due to “phenomenal response.” Despite that, however, Carphone Warehouse’s own site seems to still be pushing the deal, which it says is effective until June 1st. Over at Apple 2.0, Philip Elmer-DeWitt has some more insight into the sales, pointing out that while several O2 locations are also experiencing a dearth of 8GB models, but appear to be planning to restock.
