Title: 'Late' iPhone 5 Pre-Orders Being Delivered Early Post by: HCK on September 22, 2012, 07:00:34 pm 'Late' iPhone 5 Pre-Orders Being Delivered Early
Apple seems to be catching up on iPhone 5 pre-orders faster than they had previous estimated. We've received a number of tips that iPhone 5 pre-orders that were originally estimated to be delivered in early October are being shipped now with a delivery date of September 27th. Apple had originally "sold out" of their initial batch of iPhone 5 devices within the first hour of sales and went on to sell 2 million devices in the first 24 hours. iPhone 5 delivery estimates remain at 3-4 weeks out at Apple's online store. The iPhone 5 retail launch seems to have been relatively smooth, bringing praise from analysts."We are positively surprised regarding the pace of the rollout, since we had expected a bigger impact from component constraints," Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes said.Apple may announce iPhone 5 sales numbers on Monday. Last year, Apple announced 4 million iPhone 4S sales on the opening weekend.
