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.


You do realize a "64 bit smartphone" means nothing, correct?

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

So technically it is overpriced.

cool, they needed to add a finger print sensor because it apparently takes too long *half a second* to unlock your phone
cool, a new processor, now I can be able to play my super duper cool racing games with 5% increased shadow quality
cool, a new gold case. now I can be the king of the 5th grade walking around with my not tacky at all whatsoever "gold" cell phone.
