The new iPhone demand in US and UK is so great that the company had to push back its delivery dates from 21st to 28th of September. The company is so overwhelmed with the sales of its new product. Now, honestly who wouldn’t if their product is sold within an hour.  It is clearly evident that iPhone fever is in full swing. Analysts are expecting that the sales would be more than 30 million for this quarter.

Report is that all the major operators in UK indicated that they suffered from constrained supplies, despite of repeated requests for stocks more than last year. In the year 2007, the O2 network was the first to sell the iPhone, but now it suffered delay in setting up orders and the rival networks bagged the opportunity. In the United States of America, three companies-AT&T, Verizon communications and Sprint Nextel Corp will sell the iPhone 5. All these companies had showed availability of the iPhone 5 for delivery next Friday (the first day of sales for iPhone5).

Though initially the company had expected sales of 1.3m to 1.5m preorders, it now seems that this might not be possible because of the constrained supply.  The pre-orders for the  iPhone 5 had started at midnight pacific time (0800 BST) on Friday, the first delivery is set for the 21st of this month. The new iphone 5 is set to hit the markets of nine countries this 21st and 22 countries more the following weekend by the end of the year in a 100 countries. When compared with its successor, iPhone 4S was sold initially in 7 countries followed by 22 countries two weeks later and was available in 70 countries by the end of 2011. . The iPhone 4 launched in only five countries, and by the end of its first month on the market it was still only in 18.

The unavailability of the Mobile iPhone 5 indicates the high level of demand and constrained supply.

But for the love of Apple its lovers will wait, after all patience is bitter but  the fruit( Apple) is sweet!!!
