Apple has delivered a mere 16,000 iPhone 4 handsets to the UK for the launch date of June 24th, according to "reliable" Pocket-Lint sources.

It was originally expected that there would be over 50,000 units in stores. However, massive stock shortages have trimmed that number down considerably, causing many loyal fans to miss out (even after queueing long hours).

A Twitter poster confirms this based on information learned from a customer service rep at Carphone Warehouse.

"Apple promised 60,000 iPhones to England for launch day. They apparently delivered 16,000. Good luck people queuing for one today!!"
