Apple reportedly cutting iPhone 5S wait times with in-store
pickup
Earlier this week, Apple briefly allowed internet shoppers
to reserve the iPhone 5S for in-store pickup, but the company pulled the option
after just one day. Thankfully it seems the reservation system is coming back,
and soon; 9to5Mac reports that Apple is preparing to start taking web
reservations this week — perhaps as soon as Monday. Customers can choose their
preferred color, carrier, and storage capacity, and Apple's online store will
reveal which local stores (if any) have each configuration in stock. Demand for
the flagship iPhone has so far outpaced supply by a wide margin, particularly
when it comes to the new gold model. And even with the reinstated reservation
system, you may have a tough time securing the iPhone 5S you're after. But at
least you'll be able to avoid the lines. Apple on Monday reported that it sold
9 million iPhones in the first weekend of availability for the iPhone 5S and
iPhone 5S.
