I think *you're* missing the point - this is not an Apple stock issue it's a Rogers stock issue -- Rogers should have put some stock aside for Reservations, not blame Apple for sending too few units. Of course you will sell out, the point is to assign the stock you do receive properly.
It's like I'm reserving a table at a restaurant only to arrive and them telling me 'well we had so many walk-ins so you're table is gone' -- that's the whole point of taking a reservation is to make sure you are put ahead of people. Why did I bother getting up at an ungodly hour to place my reservation to ensure I'm one of the first ones to only later find out that this was completely meaningless.
If Rogers received say 100 iPhone 6S+ 128GB Space Grey phones nationally - why not put at least 10 or 20 aside toward the reservation list? Just because I 'only' put $40 down for the reservation doesn't mean I'm any less valuable than someone that pre-paid after me. Even if I didn't pick it up for some reason, you have like 200+ people behind me that can use the phone or the store can sell it to a walk-in.
Anyway as usual this experience is quite frustrating with again complete lack of transparancy from Rogers at the time the reservation system came live all the way to now with me going to a Rogers store, calling in with everyone having their own 'theorys' of what's going on and when I am to expect the line to start moving.
Sure you can blame Apple for not shipping you enough phones or you could take responsibility and maybe apologize for you not assigning *any* stock to the national Rogers reservation list. Maybe, I don't know, fix the problem for next year, find out how many phones were ordered, how many phones were received, how many phones are still waiting to be sent to the pre-order queue and when you estimate the reservation list to start receiving phones.
