The latest shipment times applies for the three color models in gold, silver and black as well as the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB internal storage models. The 24-hour wait time is also applicable for the three mobile carriers: AT&T, Sprint and Verizon Wireless.

Potential iPhone 5s customers wanting an unlocked and contract-free device either SIM free or by T-Mobile will encounter different shipment delays. The 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB unlocked models via T-Mobile have an expected shipment delay of one to three days. The SIM-free models have three to five days for shipment delays.

With AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless, the iPhone 5s can be purchased for $199 when selecting the 16GB and signing a two-year contract with one of the three aforementioned mobile carriers. The 32GB iPhone 5s will cost the consumer $299 while the 64GB model is priced at $399.

Meanwhile, with T-Mobile or SIM free, the 16GB model can be purchased for $649. The 32GB iPhone 5s can be bought for $749 while the 64GB is priced at $849.

The features for the iPhone 5s are, for the most part, the same specifications as the discontinued iPhone 5, such as the 4-inch Retina Display with 1,136x640 resolution, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, 1080p HD video recording camera, to name a few. The iPhone 5s, however, features a larger f/2.2 aperture for the rear-facing camera with the aim of improving low-light photography. The iPhone 5s utilizes the A7 processor chip with 64-bit architecture, which plays a critical role with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

As Latinos Post reported, Apple confirmed 9 million units of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were sold during its first weekend on Sept. 20. The 9 million units for both phones were 4 million units more than the first-weekend sales of the iPhone 5 in September 2012, which sold 5 million units.
