Today's the first day of official iPhone 4S availability but shoppers without pre-orders may have a hard time finding one.
Ten days after it was unveiled at an exclusive event on Apple's Cupertino campus, the iPhone 4S has officially launched in numerous countries around the world (with more to follow very shortly). However, it seems that only those that pre-ordered can be sure they'll get their phone, as the device has apparently sold out at U.S. carriers. Bloomberg reports that AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are sold out of pre-orders. This means those hoping to get an iPhone 4S on launch day will have to try their luck at their local Apple store and customers have already been queuing at some locations for days.
Even if you don't manage to snag an iPhone 4S today, it's likely you won't have to wait too long before you can pick up your brand new iPhone 4S. AT&T is quoting a 3-4-week wait for customers, while Verizon is promising an October 28 ship date. Oddly enough, Sprint is still displaying a ship date of 3-8 days.
Whatever happens, Apple has supposedly upped its order from manufacturer Pegatron, increasing its original shipment request by 50 percent, up from 10 million units to 15 million
