It looks like the rumors on the shortages of the new iPhone 5S in the UK were correct, as the iPhone 5S is now available to buy online from the Apple store.
As soon as the handset was available to purchase from the UK Apple store, it was showing a shipping time of 7-10 days, normally it would show a shipping time of 1-3 business days.
