Yes, I agree it's clearly part of a deliberate plan to generate hype and demand for the new iPhone in the coming weeks before the product's official announcement and release.
But you're portraying only half the picture here. It's not just about low stock or no stock levels on current models. Consider all the "coming in May, coming in weeks" type statements from various celcos around the world and the "leaked" AT&T memos, all the while Apple remaining silent and you start to see a brilliantly orchestrated plan by Apple to pent up demand and get a lot of media hype and coverage about the device before it's even announced.
I think the same thing applies with the AT&T free wireless hotspot for iPhone users and the infamous "iPhone Black" shenanigans over the last week or two. It's a deliberate disinformation campaign to set the blogosphere on fire with talk about the iPhone. What company other than Apple can have so much attention over vaporware months and months before it's release.
