Iphone 5S and 5C Started Shipping In The US

Apple’s plans for the beginning of this September begin to come in the open, as yesterday morning the company sent some invites to the presser, meaning also that the long rumored event with the media from the 10th of September is finally official. Most of the analysts believe that Apple will be introducing to the market not just one iPhone, but two.

As the date of the event is approaching, a lot of new rumors have begun popping up in the thread mills. For instance, there’s a new report online claiming that some of the new iPhone units are already being shipped in the United States. According to the source MacRumors relies on with this information, Apple is making stocks with the two alleged new models, the iPhone C and the iPhone 5S.

We can’t wait to see what new Apple hardware is mentioned in the MacRumors report.  It is also possible for the smartphones to be assembled in the United States, so the shipments could be containing some of the iPhone components.

Regardless to what those shipments contain, the important thing is for the new iPhone versions to be here in time in order to be distributed towards Apple sales centers,  carrier partners, or third-party retail partners.  And this is not the first time we’ve heard about Apple stockpiling iPhone units for the release date.

The author of the MacRumor report, Eric Slivka, there is actually few to none precise evidence to attest that the iPhone 5S devices are already packed and ready for shipping. However, there are a number of photos supposedly showing the low- end model, the iPhone 5C in the final state of the retail packaging process.

The photos we are talking about allegedly show one of Apple’s most rumored models, the low-end iPhone or as we lately hear it called, the iPhone 5C packed in a transparent box, similar to that of the iPod Touch, apparently ready to be sent to the  consumers. More than that, there is also a video of the iPhone 5S sporting Apple’s brand new iOS 7.

And if  you add all these things to the fact that everyone is expecting for Apple to launch on September 20 both the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S, you can realize that it would be perfectly normal for Apple to create stockpiles on the United States territory. We can’t stop wondering, knowing Apple’s history with device  stocks, how many customers will be able get their new models on the launch date.

The last news regarding the production of the iPhone 5S claimed that the process is slower because of the new integrated fingerprint reader. This means that the stocks could be pretty low in the first stages.
