Dear Great-Aunt TUAW,
Hello. I will be 16 on the 15th of October and am getting an iPhone 4S for my birthday. I’m worried that the shops in London won’t have any, so I was wondering if you know if they will. Do they sell a certain amount on Friday and then save some for the rest of the weekend, until a new batch arrives? Please help.
Your loving nephew,
Oliver G
Dear Oliver G,
Would your parents seriously consider adopting Auntie? She doesn’t make a lot of mess and takes up very little space.
That aside, Auntie suspects that stores will continue getting stock. However, if you can’t line-wait at the store, you should pre-order from the website or add yourself to the reserve list, which typically appears a week or so after launch.
Remember the iPad 2’s introduction? Customers lined up week after week, hoping for available stock. Banking on a weekend reserve isn’t very practical.
Finally, Auntie would like to remind you about wearing warm sweaters and cleaning your room. Please do both.
Hugs to your folks,
Auntie T.
