Yeah I'm thinking that'll be the case, but I'll be trying to preorder one for launch day at 12:01 tomorrow night regardless.
 
There is plenty of historical evidence to say I'll be wrong, and I won't be surprised if I am, but just judging by the normal reactions just on these forums from past iPhone launches, I don't think there is going to be a shortage of anything. I think you'll be able to walk in and buy a phone on the 25th just fine. I don't think demand will be as high this year because there really isn't a killer feature this year.

The biggest iPhone change that most people were waiting for happened last year.

Unless your'e a developer, a hardcore iPhone photographer or someone who hasn't upgraded in a long while, who's dying to buy this?

That's the color I'm interested as well. Hopefully I'm sober enough to remember to pre order on Friday night right at 12:01am! Lol, reminder for sure.

We would have heard about shortages so probably won't be the case. Still something can come up tomorrow but usually the rumors start up early.

Not me. I feel like they're going to be underwhelmed by the amount of rose gold sales. A lot of dudes went for the gold but they will draw a line when it comes to pink.

Just my 2 cents

Do you guys think the Rose Gold is a girly color?? I'm a guy and I think it looks good. I probably will get a skin for the face and change it to black.

Yeah you'll probably be wrong. There's always been a shortage dating back to the iPhone 4 except for the 4S launch. Remember the gold 5S?
 
There will be a shortage, and this will be the biggest launch in iPhone history. The fact is, there are roughly 125million using an iPhone 5S, and a good chunk of those will be ready to upgrade.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first year where we have 2 weeks from pre-order to launch. In the past it's been 1 week. So the longer wait period might be enough to give Apple a chance to get production ramped up to where we won't see much of a shortage. Just my $.02.

Yeah lets hope thats the truth...sounds good lol.
 
And for the record i'm a guy and planning to get the rose gold for both me and my wife. If nothing else, I figure it's a pretty special color and will be easy to sell if I don't like it.
