I guess there is a totally different reason for the missing 700,000 iPhones. The retail price in the US is $399 which is currently roughly 270. The current price for an iPhone on ebay.de is about 560! This is more than double the US price. The price for an iPhone without a mobil plan in Germany used to be 999 (not sure if it is still sold). The situation is similar in other European countries AFAIK.
How many people a re traveling between Europe and US each day?
