Apple released two brand new iPhones today and, like their predecessors at launch, both are in high demand. An Apple representative told* AllThingsD*that "Demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and we are currently sold out or have limited supply of certain iPhone 5S models in some stores." Availability through Apple's site for the iPhone 5S in the new gold color has already been pushed back to October, with shipping for the space gray and white versions now delayed by at least a week.
Previous reports suggested that carrier inventory for the iPhone 5S was "grotesquely" low, which may be contributing to the*high demand.*The plastic iPhone 5C, on the other hand, looks to be holding a steady supply, with shipping times currently*listed at 1–3 business days. Unlike the new high-end iPhone, Apple offered pre-orders for the iPhone 5C, although one US carrier stated earlier this week that pre-order interest in the device was "not overwhelming."
