But there wasn't and will never be any overstock at Apple since Tim Cook started working there. In 2008 Apple still had Texas warehouses with old beige Mac but all of the Mac produced in the Tim Cook era do not last more than a 2 - 3 weeks in a warehouse. This includes components and this is why every January after an iPhone release the business journalists start predicting Apple's downfall because they lower their part orders for display, memory, etc. They don't let any of that stuff sit in a warehouse... EVER.
