Apple iPhone 5s Availability Rises To 90 Percent In The US
November 26, 2013
Buying an iPhone 5s has never been easier, which is great news heading into the holiday shopping season. A new analysis shows that 90 percent of iPhone 5s models are now available at Apple retail stores across the United States, according to AppleInsider.
In his latest check of iPhone 5s supplies, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has found that 99 percent of AT&T SKUs are in stock at Apple stores. This number slips to 98 percent for Verizon Wireless models. Meanwhile, just 72 percent of Sprint SKUs are in stock at this time.
These numbers are a significant improvement from where they were just a few weeks ago. On Oct. 11, Munster reported that just 6 percent of iPhone 5s SKUS were in stock. Soon after the new handset was released in September, that number stood at 27 percent.
In total, 90 percent of iPhone 5s models are in stock as of Nov. 25. This is down slightly from the 95 percent availability of iPhone 5 models on the same date a year ago.
