The iPhone 5s has been sold out until October on several websites, including Verizon’s.

The Apple U.S. online store on Sunday showed that iPhone 5s models in all colors will not ship until October, as the September inventory of the new smartphone has been depleted–just a few days after it was shipped.

Apple Insider said that the gold version of the phone was the first to be sold off in each country. Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, the UK, and US have no available inventory for the phone.

The iPhone 5c is still in stock and is available as of Sunday within 24 hours, reported Fortune magazine. It said that iPhone 5c models were back in stock by Saturday.

According to an Epoch Times reporter who accessed Verizon’s website, each time the page was refreshed, the iPhone 5s date was pushed back further into October.

The iPhone 5s and 5c launched Friday, with massive lines waiting in front of Apple stores and other locations around the country.

In a press release, Apple said that it sold 9 million units in the opening weekend, topping the 5 million sold for the iPhone 4 last year.
