14.09.2012
AT&T and Verizon today emptied their iPhone 5 pre-order inventories, and now show delivery dates as far out as three weeks.

Verizon, like Apple and AT&T, went through its iPhone 5 pre-order supply today.

the supplies it had set aside for pre-orders in the nine first-wave countries, including the U.S., the U.K, Canada, France, Germany and Japan. It ran out of stock about an hour after opening its virtual doors in the U.S. at midnight PT Friday.

Earlier today, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon continued to indicate that they could deliver new iPhone 5 smartphones by Sept. 21, Apple's retail on-sale date. But as of 1 p.m. ET, AT&T and Verizon had exhausted their supplies.

At 3:30 p.m. ET, Sprint still claimed it could get an iPhone 5 to customers next week.

Currently, AT&T's website reports that new orders will ship "in 14-21 days," pushing out shipping dates to sometime between Sept. 28 and Oct. 5.
