Don’t have an iPhone yet? Planning on buying one? Before you rush to the local Apple Store to find one, Apple has a service just for you: “Check iPhone 3GS availability.” The tool, designed to prevent the difficulty of not finding it when you want it, is also a nifty marketing trick.
Using the tool is as simple as expected, coming from Apple. Simply select your state, and the site automatically brings up a list of stores in your selected state, along with four columns representing the four varieties of iPhone 3GS: white 16GB, black 16GB, white 32GB, black 32GB. Color-coded for your convenience, the availability tool presents almost-real-time information on which stores have the iPhone 3GS in stock.
If its an older model you’re in search of, Apple informs you that the 8GB iPhone 3G is available in all stores. If it’s the newer 3GS you’re looking for, the new tool may be helpful.
