Apple isn’t messing around with this product launch. Expected sometime mid-June, the Cupertino technology company reported on Wednesday that iPhone will be available at approximately 2,000 stores (160 U.S. based Apple stores and 1,840 ATT boutiques).

No word yet on how many units will ship on launch date, however. Reports for 2007 annual shipments have been as high as 7 million unitsh which averages out to just over a million shipped per month ( or 500 phones per store). Chances are some of the higher-traffic Apple stores will have more inventory available, as the dinky, mall-type Cingular/ATT kiosks may not even have space available for that many units.
