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.

McNuggets_Jr The only new feature is the fingerprint scanner...


Are you dumb? It's the first 64 bit smartphone on the planet, has the best flash system of any smartphone on the planet, and is twice as fast as the iPhone 5. Do your research before making stupid posts.


In all honesty though, a x64 smart phone is useless.


Only people who do not understand what 64 bit offers over 32 bit say that.

I thought the iPhone didn't support flash?


Flash for the camera, which shows just how much everyone actually knows about a phone that they put down....

SteelerFan4Life What is the difference in the 5 and 5c?


Basically an iPhone 5 in some plastic colored casing and VERY minor "improvements."


I would rather have the iPhone 5 than the 5c.
