iPhone Availability on June 29th
AT&T sent out emails to customers today which reveals that they are limiting iPhone sales to "one per person":
There's been no official word if Apple will be similarly limiting their sales, but it may be a safe bet. Appleinsider reports that Apple Stores are preparing by requiring some employees to stay overnight on Thursday night to prepare for Friday's launch.
Finally, we've heard that some above-average size Apple Stores may be getting on the order of 1000 iPhones for Friday's launch, with a ratio of inventory being heavily skewed towards 8GB iPhones over 4GB iPhones at approximately a 4:1 ratio.
MacRumors forum members are meeting up at their respective locations to stand in line.

1000 iPhones!!! Interesting. With a 4:1 ratio that would be 200 4GB models and 800 8GB models.

good news on the ratio. i can't see too many people buying a 4 gig.
Not for people who want a 4 GB. ;)...Actually, that is very clever of Apple to get people to spend an extra $100.

are they going to sell out? I've heard reports that there are 3 million of them and reports that they are so rare they are being escorted by armed guards. What's the real availability of them presumed to be for the first month??

Really? I'm getting a 4 gig. I already have several iPods. I can't really see spending an extra $100 plus tax on an 8 gig when I'll still carry around my regular iPod most of the time. I hope your assumption is correct though, because i'd be PISSED if I had to get one online and wait for it to come in the mail.
