Ever since Apple launched iPhone 4S - the fifth generation iPhone - they have had a tough time keeping up with the unprecedented demand.The shipping dates quickly slipped from "In Stock" to few days and then to 1 - 2 weeks most of the holiday shopping season. In fact, carriers cited shipping estimates of more than 2-3 weeks a month after iPhone 4S was launched.
Not surprisingly, Apple blew away estimates by announcing last week that they had sold a whopping 37 million iPhones in the last quarter.
However, it looks like Apple has finally managed to catch up with the demand as Electronista reports that iPhone 4S is now listed as "In Stock" in many Apple online stores. "In Stock" means that Apple is in a position to ship the iPhone 4S almost immediately. The shipping estimates had dropped to 3 to 5 days two weeks back.
The drop in demand after the holiday season probably has also helped Apple to bring down the shipping estimates.
We wonder what would have happened if Apple had launched a redesigned iPhone 5 instead of the iPhone 4S. Any guesses?
