iPhone 4 launch day craze: AT&T sold out, Orange FR has 20K units on 600K demand, O2 limits sales to current customers

If you actually truly are looking to get your individual iPhone 4 on day one, and haven’t pre-ordered it yet, be able to spend some real quality time waiting in line.

Just don’t visit your local AT&T store, to get one. AT&T has just announced that they won’t have any iPhone 4s for walk-in sales until June 29th. Those lucky chaps, who were capable of get their pre-orders through last week, should get their new shiny handset as promised.

Your best bet to get your hands on iPhone 4 on Thursday, is the local Apple store. Then, as you almost certainly know, some iPhone 4s should find their approach to local Best Buy and Walmart branches. The lines will probably be shorter there, however the supplies shall be smaller too.

And some iPhone 4 launch day info, for  those countries that were promised iPhone 4 for June 24th. if you haven’t pre-ordered your iPhone 4 yet,  don’t get your hopes up for purchasing one on Thursday. We have become hints that international iPhone 4 demand is  huge, and supplies are much more limited.

E.g., blaming short supplies, U.K.’s O2 will sell the hot iPhone only to existing customers until the tip of July.

Now, reports coming in from France, tell us that Orange has received a shipment of only 20 000 French iPhone 4s, while 600 000 customers expressed interest  in getting one. According to a different French source, Orange shall be limiting iPhone 4 supplies to  only 10 units per store in France. and that i’m sure no other international operator is doing any better.

All-in-all, in case you think you recognize what to expect from an Apple product launch day craze from previous iPhone or iPad launches, you haven’t seen anything yet. The way things are shaping up, June 24th iPhone 4  launch day mania will dwarf anything we now have ever seen before. Worldwide.
