Besides, you stand a chance of finding the one you want, even gold, at a local dealer if you just check around.<\/p>\n<p>Now this isn&#8217;t unusual for an iPhone. The new model is almost always back ordered for a while, and supplies don&#8217;t catch up with demand for a couple of months. That&#8217;s supposed to be a good thing, but Apple&#8217;s ongoing iPhone success hasn&#8217;t stopped a very few tech pundits who want to spin the improvement in availability as something bad.<\/p>\n<p>Really! It seems that this situation is being regarded as evidence a falloff in iPhone 5s demand, rather than production improvements. Fewer people want them, so they are more readily available. End of story. Of course, there&#8217;s really no evidence that such a thing is true, although it&#8217;s clear that the 5s is outselling the 5c. But is that a failure for the cheaper iPhone?<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
