Premarket WHEEEEEEEEEE!!! Levels to watch for today? Gap @ $486ish ; that would also be a 10% rise in 4 days (if we get there today, which I doubt). Time to scale back - for traders - that have been long since 448ish. Also the uncertainty about the first weekend sales numbers could weigh on the stock. 6 Mio units expected, but already talk about supply shortage, which could weigh on the sales number. Example, store on 5th Av in NYC did not have ANY Gold 5s in stock, even if you were the first in line. Pretty bad IMO.

No gold iphone 5s at the Apple Store in my city in Canada. No white iphone 5s. Only space grey options. Apple supply horrible this weekend in my city. Most carriers in my city dont even have 5S in stock.

i woke up (unintentionally at 3:10am EST) and checked the istore on my phone. space gray/white were 1-3 days for all flavors, and gold was 7-10 days.
just noting to see how it changed since then.
im going to try to snipe some stores at lunch and hopefully get lucky.

Apple probably allocated a disproportionate number to Asia. Does 1-2 weeks of waiting mean a lost sale for Apple? Probably not, but I feel for those first in line.

An article on CNBC's website: "Panned new iPhones still draw die-hards at launch."
This is why CNBC's credibility and ratings are in the toilet. Seriously CNBC, go "F" yourself.

I understand allocating most of the Gold phones to Asia, but not having ANY in stock at a flagship New York store for opening launch? That's ridiculous. Maybe supply is that awful. Regardless, I'd actually like to see those sales get pushed into next quarter anyway. Guidance for next qtr should be huge.

cnbc just reported about the re-weighting of aapl today since they have reduced their share count by 3%, and said to look for fireworks (heavy volume) at the close.

my friend just called few ATT stores in the area to check availability. One store had only 20, another only 40 phones (5s) for the entire day. They have 0 now. Space gray only.

I don't understand the fears about the gold S ?being scarce. It can still be ordered on line for October delivery. If some one wants that gold S they will get it or wait for it. If you gotta have it, nothing else will do... . Gold is best! But I like Space Gray..... What are the golds going for on eBay, I wonder?

walked by a verizon, sprint and t-mobile store on my way to work near the empire state building. only saw a line at verizon, and the other 2 stores were right next to each other. wonder if they ran out already. didn't ask, maybe later. doesn't really matter since i'm highly optimistic - even if this weekend's numbers are constrained by supply, the bigger picture is "blowout"

I like Doug Kass' tweet "…Apple's shares are now well off the premarket levels, as it is reported that two people left the line as they had to go to work…"

Hey guys - expect another big drop Monday. Looking like the 5S inventory is so low that they're not going to post a big enough number. Another buying opp, because clearly the demand is there.

That's about 1M more than last year's iPhone 5 launch, if am not mistaken. God forbid they report only 5.95M on Monday … the world will end ….

i called a local verizon wireless store and he said that told me that no store has any 5S's and best bet is to order online.
i say shenanigans! i'm still going hunting after work.

Supply is definitely a concern. Several Rogers stores in Ontario received zero units. That's right...zero. My friend were told the 5c is available...

I think the issue about supply is less an issue long term but it could affect weekend sales which as we all know can impact the stock. And only have less than 10 gold iphones and no 16GB iphones at your own Apple store on the launch of the product that supoosed to sell millions a day is a joke. They messed up the launch again. A bunch of people including myself left the line because they had no gold. This is weak. At least have enough to clear the line.

Guys. Apple controls the amount of supply out of the gate. Ill go on the record and say at least 8 million.

I checked the bay earlier today. It's amazing to me that people could just wait 2 weeks and buy one at the original selling price but choose to pay through the nose to have it NOW. Can you imagine what these would be selling for in China if they had delayed the release ??
