How to Monitor Availability of New Apple Devices Automatically using Webpage Monitoring Tool
Buying the latest iPhone becoming a very hard thing especially during a few weeks of launching. Apple always keeps its inventory out of stock to create hype about their devices. Sorry Apple fanboys, I really don't know why on earth they do this. I think It's a great marketing & PR tactic Apple doing for a few years.
Recently my sister wanted to buy an iPhone 12 pro as I'm traveling to Dubai but it's out of stock here. I went to a few offline stores, they said you have to do reservations online and keep checking our website for availability. Unfortunately due to high demand in Dubai, it comes in stock for less than a min. Instead of checking their site continuously, I found a great webpage monitoring tool to notify me via email when their site has the availability of iPhone for reservation. Sken.io is a tool that helped me a lot to save my unnecessary web browsing effort.
