It looks like the UK pre-orders for pickup of the latest Apple iPhone 4 have sold out for Launch Day on the 24th June. The Apple Store was unavailable earlier today possibly due to the thousands of Appleites attempting to reserve their new iPhone 4. After about 2 hours it was back again, with the iPhone 4 still available, but that status has now changed. The pre-order for in-store pickup is now “unavailable”.

All is not lost though you can still get your new iPhone 4 by buying online and according to the Apple Store it will be delivered on the 24th. Unfortunately there are no white ones available.

If the experience of previous years comes to pass there will be a number of iPhone 4s held in stock in the store for purchase on the day, but before you set out it is best to check that your local store will have stock. Of course there will be iPhone 4s available in the mobile phone stores, including O2 and the Carphone Warehouse, but they will be wanting to sell them with contracts rather than just PAYG versions.
