Sam,

I think this is a very significant event that will improve the revenue.
There are some customers who cannot get what they order in time
or their favorable styles, then those orders are gone. I estimate
there are about 20%-25% of total orders that belong to this group,
discouraging people in the queue. In queuing theory, we call them
discouraging queue. Therefore, in order to maximize the sales
amount, Apple starts to focus on those discouraging people who
need the products but could not get what they want in time.
Efficiency will always be the best weapon to the comapny. Dell is one
of the good examples in pc group.

Phil
