iPhone 5 Shipping Times Slip to 3-4 Weeks

iPhone 5 Shipping Times Slip to 3-4 Weeks

Posted September 19, 2012 at 5:11am by iClarified
Shipping times for orders of the new iPhone 5 have slipped to 3-4 weeks.

When pre-orders went live it took just one hour for the first batch of iPhone 5s to sell out. Shipping times slipped to 2 weeks. Now, just five days later, that batch is also sold out.

If you are planning to get an iPhone 5 anytime soon we would recommend waiting in line on Friday or checking for stock at other retailers.

Apple was already aware of the shortage before launch. They LIED when they said shipping would two weeks. Remember the news story on imminent product delays due to Sharp having problems with the screen's manufacturing process? Like that article said, I guess the new product is iWait.
