Digital Trends – Imagine just prior to the holiday season supplies of Appleâs iPhone ran dry. Youâd been hoping to treat yourself to the latest 4S device, or buy one for a friend or relative, but you canât find the smartphone anywhere. Worse still, thereâs no word when they might be returning to stores. If this happened, would you instead take a look at the competition? Examine some of the Android offerings, for example? Or would you just wait until Appleâs device returned to stores, even though it could be a couple of weeks before it happens, or even a month?
