Retail Inventory Of 8GB iPhone 3G Low

great news! i hope they do add a 32GB model to the lineup soon. i think lots of people are waiting for that before they buy.

Grrrrr just bought my 8gb at the end of August!

Of course another possibility remains that Apple is simply temporarily running low on supplies of the model. Without further information we regard all such possibilities as speculation.

isn't the nature of this site speculation?

...just keep in mind there's a reason we're putting this on page 2. It could very well be that there is a 32gb model on the way, but it appears they're basing these claims purely from the fact that the 8GB model is running low in inventory.

Rumors are based off of what appears to be a leak or otherwise inside information.

Speculation is trying to deduce plans from publicly known information.

We try to stick to news and rumors and stay away from speculation at MacRumors. Most of the time we don't even put speculation on page 2, but in this case the root of the story (the low iPhone 3G stock) was worth a mention and since the speculation has been going rampant around the web, we threw it in there.

I jus think the plastic backing 3g iphone was low quality high quantity to begin with. I hope apple moves on to a 8 mega pix 32 gb video recording, video chat iphone asap then i will upgrade from my 2g. I think the only reason they didnt make this move is the economy and the need for a 199$ phone to suck in newbies... even if its att plan cost more. att needs to have a make over and have tv channels asap similar to verizons plan. then apple needs to make its so games can play vs. each other no mater where you are like xbox live. then apple and att with have completely taken over the the consumer market! the corporate world is another monster.

I believe the low stock can be attributed to the fact that it is priced quite handsomely. Many new iPhone users will find 8GB is more than enough considering that is more capacity than they'll see on any other phone they would normally use. That and there seems to be more to swallow when you go from $200 to $300. To me it is doubling the capacity for half the price, but people will find value differently.

I would love to see a 32GB model and may hold out on the 3G phone until mid-October. Having now seen the iPhone in person I seem to really want one. Though I so wish they would have kept the previous metal back.

psh! i'll believe it when i see it... on page 1 at least!

The upgrade is inevitable. So one day when Apple does introduce the 32GB iPhone, there will be a lot of "I told ya!"

Thats a lot of changes you're demanding for when you upgrade from your 2G, i guess you want your next car to fly?

Who cares? Does anyone actually buy the 8GB?
