O2 will stop selling the 8GB iPhone, according to an internal memo reported by Engadget. The memo reportedly reads: “Due to the highly successful sales of the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) 8GB I-Phone [sic], supply chain have today run out of stock & will not be replenishing stock of this product as it has now gone to end of life.” Based on the assumption that O2 hasn’t tired of its deal with Apple, this means the next version of the iPhone (3G, greater storage, whatever it may turn out to be) should be appearing in the UK soon. This comes pretty quickly after O2 cut the price by $200.
Analysts are predicting a June 9th launch date for the 3G iPhone, which will correspond with Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference reports IDG. The article notes that “the iPhone shortage is consistent with Apple’s “tendency to wind down inventory ahead of an update”.
