It appears that the initial stock of pre-order iPhone 4S devices has run out in the UK, as the shipping times on Apple’s UK store have now slipped to 1-2 weeks, reports Pocket Lint.

The site in the US is still showing October 14th so it appears that Apple has plenty in stock stateside. The Apple store site, along with AT&T, Verizon and Sprint’s pre-ordering sites, were hammered last night as iPhone enthusiasts turned out in droves to purchase the device that many analysts have claimed would not sell well.
