It is true that the remarks, Thursday, April 9, Angela Ahrendts. the senior vice president in charge of Apple Store, were prescient. She had planted the decor in advance, stating that “é given so phenomenal craze of people who visit our stores and the number of customers who viewed the Apple Store online to choose their very early Apple Watch favorite, we expect stocks available at launch will be insufficient to meet this demand. “

If this poor stock management indicates a deliberate will of the Cupertino company to organize shortages to raise customers’ desire, it does not work every time.
