Unprecedented Demand For iPhone 4S Still Forcing Customers To Wait For Weeks
Carriers are still citing shipping dates of more than 2-3 weeks for the month old iPhone 4S. The Wall Street Journal reports that surprisingly high demand is to blame for the short supply, not problems in manufacturing.
It's been more than a month since the iPhone 4S was released and all three US carriers who sell the device are in short supply, as are Apple stores. Wait times for delivery are still lengthy, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Ordered a white 32GB 4S yesterday and the FedEx delivery ETA to my home in Alabama is next Wednesday. All things considered, that's not too bad.

Most people are looking for the 16GB models. I got my White 64GB on release and from what I've seen most places have plenty of them. They're just out of the smaller sizes.

Imagine what would happen if the real iPhone 5 came?!

Yeah! Best Buy in California.. They have a lot of the 32 and 64GB but they don't have the 16GB....

I thought about buying 4s just because of the camera upgrade. But the excitement has faded and I will gladly wait for the new model. Because chances are people who upgrade to 4s won't be able to upgrade to 5 right away if it is out next summer. And if there is no 5, I'll be happy with an untethered 4.

I have a 16g IPhone 4s I wish I had a 64g iPhone 4s bout to try and sell it on eBay or find some way to switch it out for a 64g

Just left Hong Kong a couple of days ago and you can find those things everywhere. Unlocked, no contract... too expensive for my blood. I have my IP4 (locked :( ) and an unlocked SGS II so I'll wait for the 5 to come out as well.

I LMAO when I read comments from Wall Street saying stupid things like "Apple products are not hot anymore" or "the demand for the iPad 2 is decreasing". I mean, seriously? Since I've been using Apple products this is the first time I see this high demand even after a month. I think those "analysts" are trying to lower the stock price with those rumors to start buying and make lots of money when the stock price reaches $600 next year.

For every article that claims that there are iphone 4s shortages, there are a dozen posts from readers who claim the opposite. My brother ordered one online a few days ago and the shipment date is two weeks out. He couldn't find any phones in stock locally.
