Preorders, reservations and walkins, the numbers don't lie. All good!!!!

Question

With all the worry and frustration I've been reading, i started thinking about the numbers behind the preorders and reservation. When you lay out the facts, it really sounds a whole lot better and you should feel comfortable after reading this.
Apple said they sold 600000 preorders, there are say 250 Apple stores worldwide according to the Apple site. Lets say each store was allotted 2500 reserved and 2500 walk ins ( high but just follow the logic), thats 5000 per store x 250 stores = 1250000. Thats a total of 1850000. Now all the reports I've read on the net were saying that apple was producing 3000000 per month. Just say they only were in production for 2 months which is unlikely, thats still 6 million phones available on launch day and we figured we only need 1.85 just to fulfill our preorders, reserved and walk In's.
This is why I feel comfortable knowing I have a phone on the 24th. I reserved mine for pickup @ my local Apple store because I have to work and will not be home to sign. I will try and go before work, but if i can't will be going after.

Answer 1

Depends on the production schedule, but I think they will get new shipments at least weekly if not sooner, so not bad i would say. The problem is the sell out rate. Tell you what i did with the iPad, any big city Apple store I called was sold out, so I looked for the smallest populated area and found one. I drove about 25 extra miles, but it was well worth it.
Good luck.
