Preorders for the iPhone 4S sold out in the first day of availability, according to shipping estimates on Apple’s Web site.

The iPhone 4S went on pre-order early yesterday. AT&T, the device’s leading carrier, referred to the launch as the most successful iPhone launch ever, with more than 200,000 purchases in the first 12 hours.

Users looking to preorder the iPhone 4S now are seeing shipping estimates of 1 to 2 weeks, though consumers can still get their hands on the new iPhone if they are willing to wait in line for hours on end.

Those who were able to preorder the phone successfully will receive the device this coming Friday.
