Having trouble finding an iPhone 4S? Head to RadioShack, retailer says

As we reach the end of the workday, hordes of iPhone hopefuls are likely getting ready to pack it in and head to their local retailer in an effort to score a shiny new iPhone 4S. As popular as the device has been around the country however, stock-outs are a definite possibility. After all, Sprint and AT&T have both announced record sales and the day isn’t even over. According to an email from a RadioShack spokesperson, The Shack might just be your best bet. “iPhone 4s enthusiasts who are still looking to get their device late this afternoon or over the weekend will find them at their nearby RadioShack,” the company said in the emailed statement. “RadioShack has the iPhone 4S available in 3,000 stores nationwide, and available through its ‘Direct2U’ program in all stores nationwide — customers can buy iPhone 4S at any RadioShack location and have it shipped directly to their homes. Availability of specific configurations (carrier, white vs. black, 16GB vs. 32GB) may vary somewhat across locations. It’s recommended customers call their local store for information.”

    The shack doesn’t carry sprint iPhone, a week ago i tried preordering and was told all they would carry was Verizon and At&t

      This is correct.  RadioShack will not carry the SPRINT iPhone 4S until November.

    Read the reveiw of the 4s over at Engadget. Its a great review and not biased at all *cough * BGR.

    • Yasure

      I’m sure it’s a “great” review when they had the phone for less than one day. At least BGR is spending a few days with the phone and ACTUALLY USING IT before publishing a review.

  • homescrub

    This was my first option, but everything Radioshack does is pre-order sales only.  Yes, they will mail you the phone, and some won’t even have them in stock.

      Are you mad because Apple products sell better than any of their competitors?

      • Anonymous

        Actually, yes. There’s no single Android product that’s as good or sells better. But that’s my cross to bear.

    I went to an apple store at 6 p.m. and they had tables full of them in any color, carrier and size you wanted. If you don’t live in the NYC you should have no trouble getting one from any apple retail store.

    What kind of idiot goes toRadio Shack?

    Just out of curiosity, I showed up at my local AT&T store after work, and there was a small (4 or 5 peeps) line out front and a guy with a clipboard. I asked him if they still had any 4S’ and he said they had “plenty”.

    I am wondering if Apple delayed the announcement/shipment of the 4S to make sure they had more than enough inventory on hand than last year, considering the increased demand this year?

    Why is BGR essentially an Apple blog, do you really need to provide Apple with advertising, etc.  There are literally a 100 posts on this Blog about this iPhone 4S/5.  It’s getting annoying. 

    • http://twitter.com/ChrisWitschy Christian Witschy

      Almost as annoying as people complaining about Apple posts.  Don’t read if you don’t care.  Droid Life or Crackberry are waiting for you.

      • Guest302082

         That response makes no sense.  So if you are disappointed in anything in life, you just quit it as opposed to questioning it or trying to change it?  You are right about Crackberry and Droid Life, but those are blogs DEDICATED to those brands.  If this is an Apple blog, it should just say so like Crackberry and Droid Life and I will know to avoid it, like I avoided Crackberry and Droid Life. I used to like this site because it summarized all of the news in one area but lately the Apple posts are out of control.

    • Billzy

      The go somewhere else dumbass.

    • Flintchesthair

      This site has just as many google, Microsoft, or blackberry articles as they do apple. Actually, I would bet that they have way more google articles than anything else because of the frequency of new android phones released. If you are pissed because recently there have been a lot of iPhone posts then you are retarded. The iPhone is the most popular phone out there and to not comment on it would let down the majority of bgr readers. This vendetta that people have against apple is redoculous.
