iPhone 5S Ship Times Slip to 2-3 Weeks, Pushing Delivery Deep Into November

iPhone 5S ship times have slipped once again at the Apple Online Store, as the device continues its run of extremely high demand post-launch. As noted by 9to5Mac. shipping estimates have now slipped to 2-3 weeks in the U.S. and other areas, down from previous estimates citing shipping within October.

 

9to5Mac has some additional relevant details:

In addition to noticing the shipping estimate change on Apple’s website, we have heard from a number of iPhone 5s buyers who have ordered iPhone 5s devices from Apple in the past day or so. These readers have been quoted delivery estimates ranging from the end of the first week of November and all the way until mid-November (November 11th). The 2-3 weeks shipping estimate is consistent across carriers and device colors.

Sounds like your best bet is to use this handy tool and track one down in an Apple Retail Store if you want a 5S any time soon…
