Ever since the launch of the all new Apple iPhone 3GS, the demands for this awesome gadget has have gone through the roof. For the fiscal third quarter, Apple Inc, has so far sold 5.2 million iPhones and according to estimates, in the initial three days of the launch of Apple iPhone 3GS, Apple sold almost a million pieces. The success of iPhone 3GS has now upset the demand supply ratio and Apple has admitted that, as of now, it won’t be able to match the level of demands for its products.

According to Apple Chief Operating Officer (COO), Tim Cook,

“Limited stock could briefly delay the planned launch of the new iPhone in more countries overseas.”

The exponential demands for the iPhone 3GS has created obstacles for the company in terms of expansion. The demand has forces Apple to meet the needs of the initial 18 countries where iPhone was first launched and to put on hold and all efforts to expands its product range to other 80 countries as previously planned. However, Cook is being optimistic about the situation and states that, Apple might be able to launch its iPhone 3GS in countries where iPhone 3G already exists by the end of September this year.

In a statement, Tim Cook said,

“In terms of affecting the country rollout, I believe the vast majority of the countries that we are selling the 3G in we will be selling the 3GS I think by the end of the fiscal quarter. It may move a date by a few weeks here or there.”

Cook has also expressed his satisfaction on the issue of wireless carriers across the globe, who, according to Cook, are very excited about the prospect of launching iPhone 3GS in partnership with their own brands.

In an interview, Cook termed the new iPhone 3.0 version OS as the “world’s most advanced mobile platform” and proudly commended the Apple App iStore that has been able to achieve 1.5 billion milestone of downloads, due to its 65,000 and increasing iPhone apps.
