Apple Is Going To Have A 'Grotesquely' Low Supply Of The New iPhone 5S On Friday

In the market for an iPhone 5s?

We've got some bad news for you - Apple seems to be having problems manufacturing the phone, therefore supply is low.

"We will have grotesquely unavailable inventory," says one carrier source to All Things D reporter Ina Fried.

That odd sentence suggests there will not be very few iPhone 5s units available at launch.

Jonathan Geller at BGR is reporting the same, with sources telling him, supply is "severely constrained."
