iPhone 5 shipping dates delayed

Canadians are going to have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the latest iPhone generation.

Demand for the iPhone 5 has grown so much that there’s already a two-week wait list on Apple’s website after Friday pre-orders opened at midnight. Customers can anticipate an Oct. 2 shipping date according to a Eaton Centre representative in Toronto.

Apple initially promised a Sept. 21 delivery but the delivery time grew by two weeks just four hours later. Locked phones with contracts will still be available on Sept. 21.
