Apple iPhone 7 models already sell out

Apple’s iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are now available, but stocks are limited amid high demands for the new smartphones.

In a statement, Apple said there are limited amounts of iPhone 7 models available, meaning customers who want to simply walk into an Apple store and buy one of the new handsets could be left disappointed. .

“Beginning Friday, limited quantities of iPhone 7 in silver, gold, rose gold and black will be available for walk-in customers at Apple retail stores. During the online pre-order period, initial quantities of iPhone 7 Plus in all finishes and iPhone 7 in jet black sold out, and will not be available for walk-in customers.”

Apple added: “Availability at partner locations for all finishes may vary and we recommend checking directly with them.”

Shipping dates for the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus had also slipped due to high demand when pre-orders went live on 9 September.
