Consumer mania surrounding the new Apple mobile phone shows no sign of easing since the launch of the iPhone 4S in Hong Kong on Friday.
Resale prices have rocketed and shoppers hoping to buy one without a contract from the Apple Store must try to chase down an elusive appointment made online.
The South China Morning Post has tried to make an appointment since Friday's launch, but every effort meets with a website notice saying the iPhone 4S is unavailable.
An Apple spokeswoman said the company was trying its best to increase supplies of the phone.
Customers with contracts may pick up their iPhone 4S without making an appointment online.
Resellers at Mong Kok's Sincere Podium - a mall that specialises in reselling mobile phones - were generally charging HK$7,200 for the most popular 16GB model yesterday.
