Shipping Estimates for iPhone 6 Pre-Orders Slipping to 7-10 Days

Pre-order supplies of the iPhone 6 in the United States have dwindled significantly since pre-orders kicked off last night (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/iphone-6-pre-order-now-available/), with most models of the device now displaying shipping estimates of 7 to 10 days. The new shipping estimates mean customers who place an order now will likely be receiving their phones in October rather than September.
 
 While there are still a some AT&T and Verizon iPhone 6 models available in space gray and gold, silver models for most carriers have now sold out. T-Mobile continues to have some availability in gold, with space gray models carrying shipping estimates of 7 to 10 days.
 
 Though it has taken nearly a day for Apple to run out of most iPhone 6 models available to ship on 9/19, supplies of the larger iPhone 6 Plus were much more limited. Apple's online store was down until just before 3 AM PT (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-pre-orders-iphone-6-6-plus-online-store/), at which point almost all iPhone 6 Plus models were showing shipping estimates of 7 to 10 days before slipping to 3 to 4 weeks (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/iphone-6-plus-pre-order/) just hours later.
 
 Supplies are similarly limited in other countries where pre-orders were accepted, with the U.K. and Germany seeing iPhone 6 shipping estimates ranging from 7 to 10 days or 3 to 4 weeks based on model. New orders of the iPhone 6 Plus in those countries have shipping estimates of 3 to 4 weeks for all models.

 According to Apple, response to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was "incredible," with the company setting a new record for overnight pre-orders (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/iphone-6-6-plus-sales-record/) despite pre-order hiccups.
 
 Though customers will no longer be able to pre-order most models of the iPhone 6 or a 6 Plus from Apple's site for delivery on 9/19, Apple will have launch day supplies at its retail stores on that date. Oftentimes, people wait in line for hours in an attempt to get a device from a retail store.
 
 Supply of the iPhone 6 Plus seems to be similar to supply of the gold iPhone 5s (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/20/apple-online-stores-iphone-5s-shipping-estimates-slip-to-7-10-days-gold-models-to-ship-in-october/) last year, which became almost instantly unavailable. Unlike last year, however, there were few reports available on supply quantities.
