A circumstance quite unlike a new HTC or Samsung, for instance. Popularity on the day of release being soo 5 minutes ago.

I had to wait a few weeks when the HTC Desire came out. The first batch Vodafone got were faulty, the second had already sold out, so I had to wait for the third. It was only a few weeks, but even so, it was clearly a popular phone when it first arrived.

it's down to release schedules. The fact is you actually only get a properly new iPhone every two or three years. Whereas Samsung & HTC release need models more frequently. Simply because it's rarer, Apple model launches attract more attention. Nobody queues for Samsung phones because they see new Samsung phones 'all the time' in comparison. Which is of course part of the reason Apple do it that way. They've got two years worth of pent-up demand every time they release a new model.

I'd love it if that ever made it into the courtroom.
