Why Apple never makes enough iPhones for the release?
Anyone that's an iphone enthusiast knows exactly what I'm talking about, I started a few years ago getting apple products.
The 4s release: was sold out in the entire city of Richmond for about a month after release, then after about a month I was finally able to find a store an hour outside of town with a few in stock.
The iPad retina was the same, though not nearly as long.
The iphone 5: same thing as the 4s only WORSE, I tried to get it over a MONTH after it came out and there was not one in the entire city, I ordered it from AT&T online and I got it about a month later (14 days to ship.wtf).
And now the new 5s.MAN this one takes the cake. There's not a single one for retail sale in the entire state of colorado where I live, including apple stores.
So here's my question.APPLE KNOWS and is well aware of the huge demand and how it is after releases. Why do they choose not to make enough for everyone? These devices are mass produced by slave labor in china, so I know dam well there are plenty of resources to make enough.
Why do they force people to either sit outside a store overnight ON release, or wait weeks getting it online, or MONTHS before the retail supply allows you to get one in person.
It takes alot on initial rollout, there's only so much that can be manufactured and assembled in a timely manner.
My guess would be that they want to have the release date as soon as possible, and that doesn't give them time to produce the proper amount of phones. I'm guessing they also want people ordering as soon as possible because they know if they wait too long they won't get one for a while, and it also makes it seem a lot more popular if it immediately sells out.
They are insecure. What happens if no one buy them? It would ruin the economy and it will be a more expensive
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why is it that every time i lightly tap my iPhones power button it makes a rattle noise? I have an iPhone 5s and i don't know why its making a noise when i gently tap the power button. (Tapping it not pressing it) I've had the screen replaced twice and Maybe that's why? But i also had a very tight case on it maybe making it loose. But i was wondering if i should take it to the carrier store and get it fixed or get a new phone (i have insurance on it). Is it normal for it to be loose?
- Why does apple release a new iphone every year? I don't think it's fair. We all spend so much on a new iphone and find out a new one s coming out next year… It just really annoys me!
- Why does Apple keep making and release new iPhones every few months? Like why did they make then Iphone 6 just make and release the iPhone 6 plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s plus? What is the point of apple doing this doesn't apple not have enough money? It's like if you have windows 7 and you upgrade to windows 8 then they come out with windows 8.1 then a year later they come out with windows 10 like why i already upgraded why do i need to upgrade again?
