Apple iPhone 5S went on sale this Friday, and if you just made your mind about getting the new handset, you would be disappointed to know that a majority of Apple stores are sold out. Even the online Apple store is showing a shipment date of October.
It’s not just US, the handset is out of stock UK as well with an expected availability of October/November on Apple store and carriers. Several Apple stores were expected to get stock of the iconic iPhone 5S, so it might be a good idea to get it from the retail store. To ease this process, Apple started personal pickup program that allows users to place an order online and pick it up in-store.
All you need to do is select the model you want to buy and check the store in your area with available stock. You can order any Apple device and not just the iPhone. Unfortunately, the service is currently available in US, and the majority of stores are also out of stock for the iPhone 5S, so you might have to wait until October to get your hands-on it.
