Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone 5S may already be a hit in China.
9to5mac noted Tuesday that the iPhone 5S largely sold-out on Apple's China website shortly after being made available. The tech blog said that only the 16-GB iPhone 5S was available as of this morning.
Unlike the rest of the world, China is the only market open to pre-ordering the device.
While it might hint that demand for the iPhone 5S is high in China, it might also mean that supplies are low. Reports leading into Apple's September 10th iPhone event had yield on the iPhone 5Ss touch sensors not meeting expectations.
Notably, Apple went through a similar issue last September/October, when it wasn't able to meet iPhone 5 demand due to the level of technology that went into making panels for the device.
Shares of Apple are up in early trading.
