iPhone First Gen Production Stopped? We think so…

iPhone: Missing In Action – John Appleseed to blame?

We knew it would happen sooner or later with the arrival of a second-gen iPhone just around the corner, but we didn’t think it would happen this soon. It seems Apple has completely halted production of all first gen phones; both the 8gb, and the not-so-long-ago-released 16gb model.

It started with O2 in the UK, who announced that they were slashing the price of both models of the iPhone, resulting in the bargain price of £179. Shortly after – boom, they’re out of stock.

Apple (yep – those guys) were soon to follow, as all iPhone stock vanished from both the US and UK Apple online and retail stores.

This can only mean one thing.

The 3G iPhone is coming – and fast.
