Apple Beginning to Catch Up on iPhone 5 Demand in U.S.


AppleInsider reports that Apple has nearly caught up with demand for the iPhone 5 in the US. Gene Munster and his team at Piper Jaffray checked of 100 retail Apple Stores. They found that supply of AT&T and Verizon models has significantly improved, while Sprint models remain available.

“As we get closer to the holiday, we believe consumers will likely have the ability to walk into an Apple Store and walk out with an iPhone 5 within the next two weeks,” Munster said.

In addition, Apple’s own online store shows shipping estimates dropping to 2 weeks for the first time. Previously, iPhone 5 ship dates were 3-4 weeks, improving to 2-3 weeks last week, and now at 2 weeks.
