(Undated) — Increased demand for Apple’s new iPhone Ten is leading to concerns that it won’t be available for the holiday season.
Apple opened up its website for pre-orders yesterday, but within 20 minutes, the initial allotment scheduled for delivery on November 3rd was gone.
Apple now says the earliest delivery will be in five to six weeks. But some analysts expect demand to be so high that some orders may not be delivered until February.
The new iPhone Ten is the first major redesign of the popular smartphone in years.
The selling price starts at 999-dollars for the 64GB model and will go up to more than eleven-hundred-dollars for the 256GB edition. All of the retail stores are expected to get shipments of the devices for the big launch.
USA today reports that “After what appeared to be a roughly 10-minute delay, Apple’s online store began taking pre-orders for its new iPhone X. As was expected, the initial batch of pre-orders for the phone, which starts at $999 for the 64GB model or $1,149 for the 256GB version, quickly sold out. The phone is set to be released November 3.
Within 20 minutes, the Apple Store listed two-to-three week delays for AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon iPhones, with only Sprint iPhones listed as available for delivery on Nov. 3.”
