Apple has commented today that it has already sold out of some select models of the iPhone 5S, describing the interest in the newest iPhone model as “incredible.” Reporting to ATD, an Apple representative commented the following

Apple has yet to provide any details on the numbers of phones sold, or the specific breakdown of sales–yet. We typically can expect sales numbers following the first weekend immediately following a new launch.
