Apple: New iPhone demand is 'incredible'

4.8
The iPhone 5s went on sale today, as did the iPhone 5c, though pre-orders had been available for a week. Stopping short of releasing any concrete sales numbers, Apple did say that demand so far has been pretty good. Apple usually doesn't announce numbers until after launch weekend.

“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,” an Apple representative told AllThingsD.

Indeed, it didn't take too long for Apple to sell out of the new iPhone model on launch day. All models of the space gray (black) and silver (white) iPhones have shipping dates pushed back 7 to 10 days, while all models of the gold iPhone won't ship until October. Every color and model of the iPhone 5c won't ship for one to three business days either, but that's not too much of a delay. Typically, products that are fully in stock will ship from Apple within 24 hours.

Apple CEO Tim Cook also made an appearance at the at the Apple retail store in Palo Alto, Calif., where he shook hands and talked with some customers. As one might expect, the line stretched as far as the eye can see this morning.

I've never owned an i-phone, I'm more of a android fan but I might check this out after there have been some reviews on it.

Clones Who even likes the iPhone anymore?


Apparently a lot of people considering the amount of people that pre-ordered it.

There is a way to completely bypass the fingerprint scanner and password on the 5S. And that is a very large security risk that Apple may not fix on ios 7's first update.

Nothing different but the fingerprint thingy. Maybe some other features.


The fingerprint scanner is basically the only reason I'm getting the iPhone 5S, not kidding at all. Trading in my iPhone 5 and now I'm waiting for them to restock before I get the 5S

OmittingCoder Maybe if Apple didn't overprice all of their items I'd consider it. Apple=Crap Company


How are you that stupid? iPhones are the same price or less than the HTC One and Galaxy S4. Learn how to Google please


S4 is priced at 199.99 with contract.
It's specs are
Display size (inches): 5.0
Resolution (pixels): 1920x1080 HD Super AMOLED (441 ppi)
Colors: 16 million
Chipset: Qualcomm MDM9215 + APQ8064T
Processor: 1.9GHz Quad-core
RAM: 2GB
Camera: 13MP

iPhone 5S is priced at $199.
It's specs are:
Display Size (inches): 4
Resolution (pixels): 1136-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
Chipset: A7 + M7
Processor: 1.6GHz Dual-core
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 8MP

So technically it is overpriced.


apple products are always overpriced


Agreed, people just buy apple products because their apple products.


1. Look at the unlocked prices, not the locked ones.
2. iOS does not need quad core because it does not waste as much as Android does.
3. Now there is 64 bit and iWork comes free with all new iPhone 5S'. Games will run smoother.

Sorry iFanboy but when phones go for close to a thousand dollars at release you are just throwing your money into a hole.


You moron, the equivalent flash memory size unlocked HTC One and unlocked S4 are the exact same price, or cost just more than. Learn how to look up the facts before typing and making yourself look stupid, Droidfag.


You're clearly delusional. Just take your **** phone somewhere else.
Actually watch any video when they put phones side by side iPhone is always faster

LOL you're so mad! If you like wasting your money than I don't care. You realize that this phone is upwards $600 without a contract with hardly any differences from the others?
