Apple’s iPhone 3GS availability discourages those looking to buy one today. MacNN reported 13 out of 211 Apple retail stores are completely sold out as of Sunday. Half of the Apple stores have already sold out of the white 16GB version, followed by the black 32GB version, which 40 percent of the stores are out of stock of. Last year’s 8GB iPhone 3G is still available everywhere.

The iPhone availability page on the Apple website is updated hourly and show which stores to avoid before wasting time. Customers that are having trouble finding one may also be looking into other stores like AT&T, Best Buy or Walmart.
