Over 1 million units of Apple's hot 3G iPhone have already been sold. However, it may be too much of a good thing for Apple as shortages are being reported. Last week saw the iPocalypse and now this week we have mounting shortages. Fortune's Apple blog reports that all three models of Apple's new 3G iPhone have already sold out in 21 states.
As of 6:00 a.m. EDT Tuesday, all three models (8GB black, 16 GB black or white) of the hot-selling device were sold out in 21 states, according to Jim Neal, a retired PR man living near Kansas City who took the time to check each of Apple's 188 U.S. retail stores using the company's iPhone availability widget.
"All told," he writes, "117 Apple stores reported having sold out of all models and only 27 stores indicated they had all three models in stock."
The states reporting no stock on hand were Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin.
The Forbes article also points to this page on Apple's website that lets you check for availability in your area. The page is updated daily after 9 p.m. with new information.
The Apple Watch blog also has a post that lists availability on a state by state case. The lack of availability isn't good but at least Apple is trying to keep people who want the new iPhone informed with its availability page.
