Good news for those of you who are still waiting to get an iPhone 5s: shipping estimates via Apple's Online Store for the company's flagship iPhone have improved to 1 to 2 weeks, down from 2 to 3 weeks just yesterday. The 1-2 week shipping time includes all models, on all carriers, in all colors, and all capacities in every country in the world--yes, that includes the gold model.
The improved shipping times could mean Apple has successfully ramped up production to meet demand, or that initial demand has been satiated enough--but it's probably a combination of the two. From here on out we can expect shipping time to decrease further as the holiday shopping season approaches.
