iPhone 5 pre-orders first batch took an hour to sold out.
Apple’s
website says “we’re currently unable to reach the carrier systems to
process your order, but will reserve an iPhone for you.”
Pre-orders
for the September 21 debut became available at 3:01 am ET Friday and sold out
within an hour.
People
looking to snatch one up on launch day can still do so at Apple's retail stores
at 8 a.m. local time. Historically, there have been long lines at these events,
although Apple has worked to increase staff and inventory levels ahead of these
releases in recent years.
Verizon
Wireless, AT&T and Sprint, the three carriers that will support the new
phone, all say on their websites that it is possible to pre-order for arrival
on launch day on September 21. It is unclear, however, if those measures represent
current inventory levels.
The new
phone represents a substantial upgrade to the iPhone 4S. It is made completely
of aluminum and glass, with a taller screen, faster processor, better camera
and a host of other improvements.
