Previously available for shipping in one or two weeks, the much coveted iPhone 5s now arrives in three to five business days. But the situation is not the same internationally.

Since late September, Apple has been selling its new iPhone 5s in dozens of countries around the world, with more territories added weekly. However, the company has had a tough time supplying stores with enough units to satisfy demand.

Shipping times have usually been in the 2-week range, but now some parts of the globe are seeing an improvement in the estimated delivery time of an iPhone 5s.

The United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are some of the countries where Apple now ships the phone in 3 to 5 business days. However, European customers living in Germany, Sweden, and Italy are still stuck with 1-2 weeks delivery time. Same goes for the rest of the world.
