iPhone 4S pre-order sold out, shipping estimation is 1-2 weeks.

Yes you’ve seen that right. Despite the disappointment of only having an iPhone 4S instead of a new iPhone 5, pre-order for the device was reportedly sold out. In fact, the shipping estimation for this device is reportedly at 1-2 weeks.

1-2 weeks isn’t that much of a number but we do hope that Apple is ready to cater to massive amount of orders. AT&T has had roughly 200,000 pre-orders for the new iPhone and they call it their most successful iPhone launch as of date. In addition to that, launch date pre-orders were quickly sold out so you can’t expect to get your hands during the release unless you do some serious camp out.

Those that would want to get their hands on the new iPhone 4S should really do their pre-order now before the shipping estimate counter goes higher like it did with the release of the iPad 2 which took a whopping 4 months before stock was restored.

Previously we said that the iPhone 4S may not gain as much popularity as compared with the iPhone 4 but clearly we are wrong. This may be attributed to the fact that there are a lot of iPhone 3GS users that are ending their contracts and can now get a replacement phone. The iPhone 4S seems like a viable candidate for replacement indeed.
