iPad, iPhone 4 waiting lists? Could sell 1,000,000 devices via Boy
Genius Report by Boy Genius on 7/22/10



One of our Apple sources has been communicating some internal Apple
information to us, and from what we've been told, this weekend could be
big. Currently, if you go to an Apple retail store and can't find an
iPad or iPhone 4, Apple will offer the ability to reserve one for you.
These are "Priority Lists" and contain your name and information in
addition to the specific device and configuration you want. These lists
allow Apple to determine how to manage their channel inventory or
possibly ramp up on production. Here's the big news we've been told…
Apple is apparently incredibly interested in clearing out these waiting
lists, and if our tipster is correct, they're aiming to do it by this
weekend. We have been told that stores have lists that could be
anywhere from 500 to 1500 or more customers waiting for iPhones, and
anywhere from 250 to 750 customers waiting for iPads. Apparently all
Apple stores have asked employees for an "all hands on deck" approach
this weekend, somewhat similar to that of Apple product launch days. We
have even been informed that Apple stores might open early on Sunday to
accommodate extra traffic. Lastly, our source let us know that clearing
out these lists could result in the sale of up to an additional 500,000
to 1,000,000 iOS devices in just a few short days.

Thanks, Lindsey S.!
